Old English Medical Remedies
Author: Sinéad Spearing
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1526711729
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
How pagan women blended magic and medicine—and why their medieval recipes may help cure modern-day illnesses. In ninth-century England, Bishop lfheah the Bald is dabbling with magic. By collecting folk remedies from pagan women, he risks his reputation. Yet posterity has been kind, as from the pages of Bald’s book a remedy has been found that cures the superbug MRSA where modern antibiotics have failed. Within a few months of this discovery, a whole new area of medical research called Ancientbiotics has been created to discover further applications for these remedies. Yet, what will science make of the elves, hags and nightwalkers which also stalk the pages of Bald’s book and its companion piece Lacnunga, urging prescriptions of a very different, unsettling nature? In these works, cures for the “moon mad” and hysteria are interspersed with directives to drink sheep’s dung and jump across dead men’s graves. Old English Medical Remedies explores the herbal efficacy of these ancient remedies while evaluating the supernatural, magical elements, and suggests these provide a powerful psychological narrative revealing an approach to healthcare far more sophisticated than hitherto believed. All the while, the voices of the wise women who created and used these remedies are brought to life, after centuries of suppression by the Church, in this fascinating read.

Kubrick and the Deep State
Author: Heracles Harixcalde
Publisher: BoD - Books on Demand
ISBN: 2322495085
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
By exploring the secrets of Kubrick's filmography, the author, who describes himself as the "anti-Harari," reveals the stages and key actors of the global mind control project, as well as its spiritual and technological workings. This analysis, situated at the crossroads of psychosociology, science, organizational theory, religion, cosmology, and detective fiction, will show you how Kubrick's symbolic and initiatory cinema, aided by the intuitive reasoning of psychoanalyst CG Jung, hides, much like Leonardo da Vinci in his time, the keys to understanding the universe. At once an explanation of artificial karma, a manifesto for a better future, and a survival guide against transnational organizations, the author presents a subversive, profound, useful, and accessible book, but one not to be placed in just anyone's hands. Volume I from the Mysterium Australis Trilogy which aims to expose the key and discreet role of Australia in the global satanic oligarchy.
