Essenza
Dita gentili
albeggia la carezza;
sboccia la gemma
in primizia.
Non puoi
possedere nulla
ciò che afferri
si annienta.

On September 29th we venerate Ancestor, Voodoo Priestess, & Hoodoo Saint Mama Julia Brown on the 108th anniversary of her passing 🕊
[for our Hoodoos of the Vodou Pantheon]
Tumblr media
Mama Julia Brown was a Hoodoo woman, healer, & Voodoo Priestess who - on the day of her funeral - took the entire parish of St. John, to her grave.
There was once a very small town called, Frenier, surrounded by Manchac Swamp in St. John's Parish in Acadiana, Lousiana. Here is where Mama Julia Brown (born Julia Bernard in about 1845) lived on a 40 acre homestead on the edge of the swamp; left to her after her husband's passing in 1914.
It is believed that Mama Julia moved to Frenier from New Orleans where she was already established as a Voodoo Priestess known for her charms and curses.
There were no doctors in Frenier, so Mama Julia served as midwife & traiteur (healer) to the few yet proud locals. Folks went to her often. She was especially known for her singing - what many perceived as - eerie songs with her guitar on her porch.
Overtime, the locals began to take Mama Julia’s services for granted. Soon, they noticed a change in her. For their ungratefulness, she started to scare them by fortelling when terrible things were about to happen to them.
Once she knew that her own life was near its end, Mama Julia spent her last days on her porch steady singing, “One day I’m gonna die, and I’m gonna take all of you with me."
On September 29th 1915 Mama Julia passed away. The townsfolk gathered to lay her to rest. As they placed her casket into the ground, heavy hurricane rains forced them back into their homes. The storm surge rose to 13ft as winds howled at 125 mph. The rain and winds were so powerful that it wiped out the entire town, along with 2 neighboring small towns of Ruddock & Naptown. Roads were flattened. Buildings demolished. And miles of railway tracks were washed away into the swamp. There were no known survivors. The hurricane, it seemed, came out of nowhere.
A newspaper account from 1915 describes Mama Julia Brown's funeral on the day of the storm: “Many pranks were played by wind and tide. Negroes had gathered for miles around to attend the funeral of ‘Aunt’ Julia Brown, an old negress who was well known in that section, and was a big property owner. The funeral was scheduled … and ‘Aunt’ Julia had been placed in her casket and the casket in turn had been placed in the customary wooden box and sealed. At 4 o’clock, however, the storm had become so violent that the negroes left the house in a stampede, abandoning the corpse. The corpse was found Thursday and so was the wooden box, but the casket never has been found.”
Voodoo is, of course, is much more about healing & liberation than curses & crossings. For this reason, there are many in the Community who did not believe that Mama Julia placed any sort of curse on Frenier, despite the reasons she may have had. Instead, some believe that Mama Julia's songs were a warning to the townsfolk of an impending doom. And that she might've done ritual work to prevent the storm from hitting Frenier, but was too late.
“Aunt Julia Brown … always sat on her front porch and played her guitar and sang songs that she would make up. The words to one of the songs she sang said that one day, she would die and everything would die with her.” - personal account of Helen Schlosser Burg; longtime resident of Frenier.
Today Mama Julia rests in perpetual tranquility at the grounds of Frenier, now a mass grave, in Manchac Swamp. Though she become quite the ghost story icon, Mama Julia Brown is most affectionately remembered as a beloved Hoodoo woman; as healer and midwife. That her spirit is less of a thing to fear in the swamp than the gators, snakes, and other predatory creatures that stir.
Offering suggestions: hurricane water, money/coins, swamp soil, play/sing the guitar, & cypress
‼️Note: offering suggestions are just that & strictly for veneration purposes only. Never attempt to conjure up any spirit or entity without proper divination/Mediumship counsel.‼️

John Frankenheimer s'essaie ici au film d'aventures brut et sans concession... Et avec une certaine réussite, il faut bien le dire. La réalisation et la mise en scène de Frankenheimer fait des merveilles. Devant sa caméra, Omar Sharif est encore une fois impeccable. Et que dire de Jack Palance et de Leight Taylor-Young ! Bref, un excellent film avec en prime des paysages d'Afghanistan à couper le souffle !

And this is how the table ends after 38 match weeks. Everton is saved on the final match day and their win meant that Leicester was relegated even though they also won their game. Leeds was also relegated after just three seasons back in the Premier League (ha!) and Southampton was relegated a few match days ago.
For next season the three teams that have been Promoted from the Championship are Burnley, Sheffield United, and Luton Town. Burnley has been gone from the Premier League and Burnley for two years. Luton Town return to the Premier League after a 31 year absence. Luton Town have a player named Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu who is making Premier League history for a very interesting reason. He has been with the team since they were playing non league football and is becoming the first player to EVER go from non league football to top flight football with the same team

Do how old is everyone here?
We can answer that pretty easy! The setting of this point in the AU is early September, 2020 (with no... unfortunate happenstances happening; the world hasn't gone to shit yet, and it won't in the ways that happened in the real world). With that being said, the AU technically starts in late 2017, and we'll get to some of the plot in flashbacks, so just take everyone's canon ages and add three! For instance, Mac at the time of this blog is 20, Disco Kid is 23, Von Kaiser is 45, etc.
But if you really wanna be 100% accurate, you better keep this hush-hush. You didn't hear this from me.
Little Mac (Mackenzie Mancuso): 20 (December 15th, 1999) Doc Louis (Jerome Louis): 46 (July 9th, 1974) Carmen Isabela Merlo Campana: 221 (March 8th, 1799) Glass Joe (Julien Mercier): 418 (October 30th, 1599) Von Kaiser (Stefan von Fischer): 107 (January 19th, 1913) Disco Kid (Marcus Corey): 23 (born April 10th, 1997) King Hippo (Arumogo Aroi): ??? (centuries old, maybe June [18th]) Piston Hondo (Nakamura Tadashi): 31 (November 1st, 1264) Bear Hugger (Shawn Patrick Ruddock): 35 (February 3rd, 1985) Great Tiger (Sandhi Mandal): 32 (September 29th, 1988) Don Flamenco (Rafael Emilio Ordóñez): 228 (April 16th, 1792) Declan Clover (Aran Ryan): ??? (centuries old in human years, 26 in feywild years, definitely April 7th) Soda Popinski (Mikhail Ivanovich Korobov): 139 (May 19th, 1881) Bald Bull (Erhan Tiryaki): 39 (September 13th, 1984) Super Macho Man (Randy Laurent): "30" (35 - May 21st, 1985) Mr. Sandman (Clay Gabriel Esther): 34 (August 8th, 1986)

A Timeworn Scroll Reveals King Henry VII’s Interests in New World Colonization
By Ashley Cowie, 6 October 2018
Tumblr media
Rolled up parchment with information of payment to William Weston from Henry VII. (Source: The National Archives, UK)
In AD 1499, England launched its very first English-led expedition to "Terra Nova” (New World) and now researchers studying a 16th century scroll have found King Henry VII awarded William Weston, one the explorers, with a handsome paycheck.
While the payment of 30 British pounds sterling could hardly be called a king’s ransom, at that time, this was a considerable sum of money; equivalent of a laborers salary for six years, said researchers in a their paper, which was published online on October 2 in the  journal Historical Research.
The information was discovered on a huge parchment dating back more than 500 years and ultraviolet light was required to reveal the hidden text said study co-researcher Evan Jones, a senior lecturer in economic and social history at the University of Bristol in a report in Live Science .
Early Transatlantic Rumors
In 2009, the University of Bristol published Jones paper titled The lost voyage: First English-led expedition to North America in which a “long lost letter” written by King Henry VII was addressed to Weston as he “was preparing for an expedition to the new found land.”
Tumblr media
The king was excited and in support of Weston because in AD 1497 and 1498, the Venetian explorer John Cabot had successfully sailed the Atlantic having set off from the southern English port of Bristol. But it seems Weston was preparing a British-led expedition.
“The Cabot Project” is an international project aimed at researching the late 15th and early 16th centuries Transatlantic voyages from Bristol.
Tumblr media
Margaret Condon of the University of Bristol, who is part of the Cabot Project, researched endless tax records gathering data about the oceanic adventurers traveling to and from North America.
These were “written on huge parchment rolls, created from the skin of more than 200 sheep” according to the Live Science article, and each segment on the roll measured “6.5 feet (2 meters) long.”
In the University of Bristol’s statement about the discoveries, Condon said that the rolls were "beasts to deal with, but also precious and irreplaceable documents.”
Handling them, she said, “sometimes feels like you're wrestling, very gently, with an obstreperous [boisterous] baby elephant!”
Tumblr media
Returning to the main discovery, King Henry VII rewarded Weston in January 1498 after they met.
Researchers believe “it appears that Weston was likely one of the unnamed 'great seamen' from Bristol whom Italian diplomats wrote about during the winter of 1497 to 1498” while describing the Bristol explorers who joined Cabot on his two 1490’s expeditions.
Tumblr media
Nobody is quite sure how Cabot's last 1498 expedition turned out but perhaps its ill fate inspired King Henry VII to send his expedition the following year, led by one of Cabot's deputies, the researchers speculated.
Further evidence gathered by members of the Cabot Project revealed that "Weston was a bit of a gambler, but perhaps you had to be, to risk your life on such a dangerous voyage into unknown seas.”
Tumblr media
On another level of this fascinating story, the new study also confirmed two extraordinary claims made by Alwyn Ruddock, a deceased historian from the University of London who, having studied the early English voyages to the Americas for over 4 decades, claimed that Cabot had explored most of the North American continent’s east coast by AD 1500.
Ruddock never published her discoveries and in a bizarre act, upon her death in 2005, she ordered that all her notes were destroyed, and so they were.
These new findings support the two extraordinary claims made by Ruddock who spent over 40 years researching England's first voyages to North America, and although she never published any of her work, she did submit a book synopsis and this was shared with Jones.
Ruddock also claimed that a band of Italian friars had sailed with Cabot on his AD 1498 expedition who went on to establish “the first European Christian colony and church in North America” according to an article in Newsweek.
Offering reason as to why the king rewarded Weston, she implied that Weston moved northwards up the Labrador coast searching for the North West passage around the continent.
The authors of the latest study suggest it was for this specific reason that Weston was rewarded by Henry VII.
