Here is a quite famous and quite singular root, called Mandrake, which has more imposture than truth. We show them of both sexes, and we almost give them children; but all this is discovered and done at pleasure. It is only true that there are roots that Naturalists call Mandrakes, that they put of two species, male and female; but to believe that they have the shape of a man, that they are formed under the gallows from the urine of a hanged man; that the one who digs them and pulls them out of the ground dies, and finally that they have the virtues attributed to them, all this is fabulous. The one we have in our Cabinet, and all the others that I have seen, are artificial; these are forked roots which separate in two, giving rise to legs; we then make their arms as they are with a knife, adding hands with ankles, and other parts that may be missing, to make a thing that has some human figure; & to make them grow hair in the places where we want, we put grains of millet inside, & then we bury this root in the ground, where these small grains germinate and grow large filaments which are like hair . This is all the artifice and imposture of these Mandrakes.Le Cabinet de la Bibliotheque de Ste. Genevieve, Claude Du Molinet, 1692. @explorationoftruth ๐๏ธ
Hildegard of Bingen (d. 1179) was a abbess, composer, scientist, healer and mystic - one of the most remarkable women in history. In addition to her mystical visions, she also divined a mystical language she referred to as the "lingua ignota" or unknown language along with a mystical alphabet. The lingua ignota contains about 1000 words and even survives in one of her musical compositions. Consider Supporting Esoterica! Patreon -
