🌱 💀 Usnea In the medieval period those suffering from wounds inflicted in battle, or a variety of other ailments could be treated with ‘Unguentum armariun’ a magnetic treatment from bandages or medicines that had been infused with a liniment using usnea. Usnea was the highly prized moss that was collected from the skulls of the dead, preferably the skulls of individuals who had died in battle or had met violent ends. This moss was considered medicinally potent due to the belief that it contained the remaining spirit, especially if that spirit had been trapped by a violent death which in turn had been absorbed by the moss or lichen growing on the skull. This spirit could then be absorbed to empower the sick person’s spirit and heal them. All art shown is original and inspired by the actual history described. The bottles are handmade using molds made from actual 18th and 19th century bottles, and decorated with artwork inspired by the macabre history of medicine. They can be found for sale at www.ofgraveconcern.com/apothecarybottlesandjars Cannibalistic medicine and the ingestion of corpses was an accepted medical practice from the medieval period right up to the 19th century. Peaking during the 16th and 17th century medicines containing human fat, brains, and blood were popular from the lowest in society to the highest. #macabre #macabreartwork #macabreart #macabreartwork #medicalhistory #usnea #historyofmedicine #moss #strangehistory #weirdhistory #interestingart #interestingfacts #medicine #medicinebottle #medicinebottles #antiquebottles #historymemes #historymemes #corpsemedicine #skull #gruesome #darkart #historicalillustration #ceramicartists #ceramicbottle #ceramicbottles #medicinehistory #herbalmedicine #herbalhistory #historicalstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CL4jzHQnhmw/?igshid=1uwirn9v2nowj

17th January 1574, birth of English Paracelsian physician, astrologer, mathematician, and cosmologist Robert Fludd, Fludd’s occult cabalist philosophy, and hermetic approaches to knowledge, set him in opposition to the German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer Johannes Kepler, who criticised Fludd's theory of cosmic harmony. Fludd also defended the theory of sympathetic medical magic, especially the healing power of a ‘weapon salve’, the healing of a wound by treating the weapon that made it with the patient's blood, and human fat. In 1618 Fludd proposed the first design for a perpetual motion machine he called a "water screw"; his perpetual motion machine designs were still gaining patents into the 1870s. All art shown is influenced by the history of alchemy and occultism.

This spirit could then be absorbed to empower the sick person’s spirit and heal them. Alternatively if the wounds in battle did not kill the victim, they could be saved by a reverse of the above by using the healing power of a ‘weapon salve’, the healing of a wound by treating the weapon that made it with the patient's blood, and human fat. The apotropaic healing power of a ‘Weapon Salve’ was championed by English Paracelsian physician, astrologer, mathematician, and cosmologist Robert Fludd, Fludd’s occult cabalist philosophy, and hermetic approaches to knowledge, set him in opposition to the German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer Johannes Kepler, who criticised Fludd's theory of cosmic harmony. Cannibalistic medicine and the ingestion of corpses was an accepted medical practice from the medieval period right up to the 19th century. Peaking during the 16th and 17th century medicines containing human fat, brains, and blood were popular and widely used. Fludd especially was a apologist for the use of corpse medicine, stating: (Continued in the comments) #macabre #macabreartwork #medicalhistory #usnea #historyofmedicine #moss #strangehistory #interestingfacts #medicinebottle #medicinebottles #antiquebottles #corpsemedicine #skull #gruesome #ceramicartists #ceramicbottle #ceramicbottles #medicinehistory #robertfludd #leonardodavinci #halloween2021 #halloweenhistory #apotropaic #pottery #bottleart #bottleartwork #darkhistory #folkmedicine #macabremonday #macabremondays https://www.instagram.com/p/CVLQoe7FSxT/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Tale of Titus Oates 15th September 1649, birth of English minister and plotter Titus Oates, instigator of the fabricated ‘Popish Plot’, which imagined a catholic plot to assassinate Charles II, and bring down the government. Oates' plot resulted in anti catholic hysteria in England and Scotland, and the false accusation and execution of at least fifteen people including the hanging, drawing and quartering of the Catholic Archbishop of Armagh Oliver Plunkett, the last Catholic martyr to die in England. Those accused by Oates’, were tried by the infamous Baron George Jeffreys, known to history as the ‘hanging judge’, for his role in the ‘Bloody Assizes’ of 1685. After accusing the diarist Samuel Pepys, and then in 1678 the Queen alongside the King’s physician, of attempting to poison Charles II, public opinion began to turn against Oates. With the death of Charles II in 1685, Oates was arrested upon the orders of Charles’ brother James II, and further ordered to be "whipped through the streets of London five days a year for the remainder of his life." During his first whipping he was forced to wear a hat which read, "Titus Oates, convicted upon full evidence of two horrid perjuries". Oates’ arrest and conviction had been presided over by the ‘Hanging Judge’ himself, George Jeffreys, who ironically despite having sentenced those falsely accused by Oates to execution, declared Oates a "shame to mankind". Even the ‘Hanging Judge’ though did not escape the turbulent times, three years later Jeffrey’s himself was captured trying to flee London disguised as a sailor, after James II was deposed during the ‘Glorious Revolution’ of 1688.

In the ancient world bats were seen as powerful creatures of magic, and the world of the night. To keep yourself awake you could tie the head of a bat in a black bag and place it near your left arm. If you were trying to stay awake for romantic reasons, the Roman writer Pliny suggested that a clot of bat’s blood placed under a woman’s pillow would stimulate desire. By the medieval period bats produced a dichotomy of highlighting the presence of evil while also redirecting misfortune. Possibly as a remnant of the ancient world, a live bat nailed upside down over a doorway, was said to protect livestock, and prevent ill luck. This sadistic practice is unfortunately recorded as continuing into the early 20th century. Other uses include Bat hearts and bones being carried as good luck charms, and a method for gaining wealth. A German variation on this theme is recorded in the 13th century by Albertus Magnus, who states that the use of a bat’s heart or liver added to lead shots for bullets; will ensure that every shot fired would reach its intended target. Bats also have the reputation of demonic creatures, this can be seen in the 1332 French witchcraft case against Lady Jacaume of Bayonne, who was publically burned for nothing less than groups of bats flying around her home and garden. This witchcraft association can also be seen more famously in Macbeth, and the use of Bat in the spells performed by the three witches. However it is in the 17th century that the focus of this post is directed! Namely with Genevan physician Sir Théodore Turquet de Mayerne, and his wonderfully named ointment ‘Balsam of Bat’; contained “adders, bats, suckling whelps (puppies), earthworms, hogs’ grease, stag marrow, and the thigh bone of an ox.” (Continued in the comments). #thursdaytales #halloweenbats #batsofinstagram #darkhistory #macabre #historyofmedicine #medicinebottles #ceramics #handmadegifts #mementomori #deathpositive #deathpositiveart #gothictales #pottery #bottleart #bottleartwork #folklore #folkremedies #folkart #witchtrials #17thcentury #witchcraft #jamesi #charlesii #corpsemedicine #pharmacology #folkmedicine #plaguedoctor #plague #plaguedoctorart https://www.instagram.com/p/CUc6YRel6--/?utm_medium=tumblr

In 1618 Fludd proposed the first design for a perpetual motion machine he called a "water screw", his perpetual motion machine designs were still gaining patents into the 1870s. Johannes Kepler’s aversion to Fludd’s sympathetic magic, was not possibly all due to scientific and rational reasoning at the beginning of the scientific revolution in the 17th century. On the 7th August 1620, Kepler’s mother was accused and imprisoned for witchcraft, with the charge of concocting an evil brew, to sicken a neighbour. Imprisoned for 14 months, she was eventually released due to the legal defense written by her son. All art shown is original, all the bottles are made from molds cast from actual antique bottles, with added historically inspired artwork with real macabre and strange medicines from history.
