Oracles were women who would foretell the future for you. They were very revered in Greek/Hellenic society. The most famous was the Oracle of Delphi. Alexander the great is said to have visited her. Interestingly, caves at Delphi have been found to contain potent natural gasses that cause very strong hallucinations and visions. This could explain how and why the oracles "saw" the future.
They were high as a kite, but they probably saw some interesting stuff!
