| I sincerely doubt I could. It seemingly involves losing some measure of control over yourself and what comes out, and I am, unfortunately, a control freak. There's no way I'd ever allow myself to actually try that, as interesting as it sounds. Only time I'd ever lose control enough is while dreaming, and I don't remember my dreams anyway.
That said, considering what automatic writing actually IS, it's not actually that surprising that it sounds like a mad oracles prophetic ranting. After all, an oracle is supposed to have a message of some sort come from some sort of higher power to the oracle, who then recites it for the 'benefit' of mortals. Similar principle, something (whether external forces or the person's subconscious) is causing a message to appear, although not always meaningful. I suppose automatic writing come easily be seen as just a way of putting the messages onto paper or something, rather than staying verbal or even just purely mental as most oracles are.
