There was a time when those who could simply harness the energies of some other world were valuable to rulers and royalty, and the peasants of the village also appreciated a local seer solving their daily problems.of any sex, however, men have followed the orderly faith while women have been driven into the outer fringe of faith: the hidden.
Rightly or without it, today’s soothsayers, seers, and psychics are the heirs to a long, women-led culture.And, at least for many women in history, this culture has used the amazing powers of hashish for the supernatural.
Here are some prominent women who received the summit and channeled the divine.
Called Pythia for his ability to communicate with the Greek god Apollo, known as the “python killer,” the oracle’s position in the famous temple of Delphi occupied through a succession of priestesses that each channeled Apollo’s voice.
Once the ultimate prophetic position in ancient Greece, Pythia would have warned Edipopia of his tragic fate: that he would kill his father and marry his mother.
As they prepare to make oraular statements, ancient historians describe Pythia as chewing bay leaves, inhaling the smoke of a variety of plants, and sitting on an abyss on a rock to breathe in their vapors.
He would then deliver cryptic prophecies in a trance state, which the supplier compromised on paper for the standby investigator.
Some researchers recommend that bay leaves contain opium and datura, while others say burning aromatic plants were hashish, barley and bay leaf.Archaeologists claim that the abyss on the rock exposed Pythia to ethylene gas.they know that ancient Greece knew hashish and used it for ritual and medicinal purposes.
It is imaginable that the mythical Pitia reached her mystical plan with an aggregate of groceries, fumes and geological fumes until the temple was closed through Roman Christian occultists in the 4th century.
Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th-century nun like no other, a remarkable clairvoyant, doctor, burly and abbess of Germany.As much as Roman Catholicism called false visionary women prophets and burned many at the stake (see below), as much as von Bingen controlled to convince a papal committee to recognize their visions.
In one of his many writings on theology, he wrote about a “green power” that runs through all creatures, filling them with life and divinity.When he did not interpret the mysteries of life, he studied ancient Arab medical texts that mention hashish for a lot of treatments.He also had the indigenous Germanic wisdom of hemp, used through his pagan predecessors in rituals and materials.
In his medical text Physica, he writes that cannabis can cause headaches in men with empty brains, “but it does not harm the healthy head or the whole brain.” With his own medicinal lawn at the abbey, von Bingen is supposed to have reached his sibyl states with the help of cannabis. “Green energy” even followed as the term for cannabis in Germany in the 1960s.
The true story of Joan of Arc is one of the greatest tragic.We know from his archives of the inquisition that he began hearing voices at the age of 13, that they increased in frequency and urgency until “the voice of God” told him to help the dolphin.(the French prince) defeats the English army and claims his throne as a legitimate king.
And that is what he did, he led a fierce army that repelled the English, which allowed the young prince to reach Charles VII, king of France.However, this is where the beautiful story ends.
Always suspicious of women who know things, the Catholic Church judged Jeanne as a witch, while the ungrateful Charles VII turned a blind eye.The Church might not have made a mistake at all; Some researchers say that paganism, which brazenly used hashish and psychotropic fungi, is still widely practiced in the field where Joan grew up.
While many today believe that Joan of Arc’s voices were a symptom of an intellectual illness, the use of psychedelics can also be her periodic appearances, as well as her exemplary lucidity during battle, not to mention her rapid recovery afterwards.war wounds. The inquisitors of Joan of Arc focused on what was fed before her visions and whether she danced around the trees, a pagan ritual known while upstairs, among other vital issues.
Eventually, her judges accused her of “witch herbs,” adding cannabis, according to Rowan Robinson’s The Great Hemp Book, but in the end they burned the 19-year-old at the stake for wearing men’s clothing.Years later, in 1456, a late trial declared Jeanne innocent and heroine of France.
Fictional mediums with intense looks and Eastern European accents are largely based on Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, also known as Madame Blavatsky, who caused a furore in the late 19th century.
From the former Russian aristocracy, Blavatsky ,née von Hahn, 17, left her husband for Constantinople a few months ago and returned.
During his 25-year absence, he claimed to have smoked hashish with the Universal Mystic Brotherhood in Cairo and visited several mystical places around the world, such as voodoo-rich New Orleans, ancient Incas sites in South America, temples in Tibet, and non-secular.Centers of India sites.
He then co-founded the Theosofic Society in 1875, which is still in operation today.He published Isis Unveiled (always in the press) on ancient and paranormal wisdom, followed by The Secret Doctrine on the non-secular design of the universe.
She freely admitted that she smoked more than a hundred cigarettes a day, and it is widely accepted that she continued to use hashish and opium on her travels, even though the Theosofic Society today denies any drug use.my hours of smoking, ” he said to a friend.” I sit up from the ground, close my eyes and float over and over again, wherever and wherever I want.”
