&ldquo Melissa spent her life on Mount Parnassus, dwelling in a cave as a nympholept. It was through the possession by nymphs that she worked her art of divination. Many pilgrims in her lifetime and in the following decades visited the sanctuary to leave offerings to the local goddesses and consult the oracle. The visitors that would climb to the location were, unlike the clients of Delphi, poor people that lived in the surrounding areas. Historically, the use of caves as places of worship of the nymphs is not rare. Caves were seen as the womb of the Goddess, brimming with subterranean waters, as well as a liminal place were the Underworld and our world met.&rdquo Melissa&rsquo s story will be featured among those of other wise women in my upcoming A Compendium of Witches, a project supported by my amazing Patreon community
