Fun little thing about medieval medicine.

So there’s this old German remedy for getting rid of boils. A mix of eggshells, egg whites, and sulfur rubbed into the boil while reciting the incantation and saying five Paternosters. And according to my prof’s friend (a doctor), it’s all very sensible. The eggshells abrade the skin so the sulfur can sink in and fry the boil. The egg white forms a flexible protective barrier. The incantation and prayers are important because you need to rub it in for a certain amount of time.

It’s easy to take the magic words as superstition, but they’re important.

[shredsandpatches]

The length of time it takes to say a paternoster was a typical method of reckoning time in the Middle Ages. It’s likely that whoever wrote this remedy down was thinking of it both as a prayer and a timespan and that whoever read it would have understood it the same way.

[ladytemeraire]

I wonder if this shows up in other historical areas besides medicine?

I ask because I have a very Italian, very Catholic friend who was once describing how she makes pizzelles. They’re cooked in a specific press, similar to a waffle iron, long enough to get light and crispy but not burnt, and in her own words: “I don’t know the exact time it takes to cook them in seconds, but I usually do either two Hail Mary’s or an Our Father and a Glory Be.”

[lloerwyn-deactivated20201104]

I would be extremely surprised if medieval people didn’t use prayers while cooking. You don’t want to roast an egg for too long, have it explode, and get hot yolk in your eye. :P 

I know that church bells were definitely used as timekeepers. 

[spiderine]

Before oven thermometers existed, one way to check the temperature of your oven was to stick your hand inside and recite an Our Father. The length of time before you snatch your hand out was timed by how far you’d gotten in the prayer. The shorter the time, the hotter the oven. So you knew that if you wanted a hot oven to bake bread, you wanted your hand out by “kingdom” (for example) but to slow cook a stew, you might want the oven cool enough to get to “trespasses”.

[proxykiwi]

Bee Wilson’s ‘Consider the Fork’ relates hownmedieval cooks also used prayers to measure time in cooking, for example how long to boil walnuts to preserve them (as long as it takes to say a miserere).

Btw, I presume the prayers might’ve also helped increase any additional placebo effect.

[lloerwyn-deactivated20201104]

That sounds like an interesting book, I’ll have to check it out.

[najsigt]

I stayed up very late to finish this ya’ll better love this comic alright!  I have had this idea for a  for a pretty long while but I only now decided to put pen to paper. I just really like monsters with emotions ya’ll, that’s the best trope. 

…

I’m very tired.

If I could go back in time and stop myself from consuming just (1) piece of media I’d stop myself from watching that first episode of Sherlock because it’s been an entire decade since it’s aired and yet every single time I try to plug my phone charger in and miss my brain is still just like, “Sorry mom and dad, but according to BenDetect CumberSleuth I’m apparently an alcoholic.”

He and Legolas never had a single conversation, the only words ever spoken between them were, “and my bow”.

I drew a quick little comics essay today about a topic near and dear to my heart: horror for kids!

Or, “why some kids like to read books that scare them, and why you should let them.”

i love her

[twodotsknowwhy]

Remember, Debbie Reynolds was so much more than just Carrie’s mom. She was a beautiful, amazing, wickedly funny woman in her own right. She loved her daughter and she made her daughter who she was, but it is a disservice to her memory to shrink her down to just being Carrie’s mom.

[twodotsknowwhy]

Also, because it needs to be said, Debbie was a huge supporter of the mentally ill. She helped found The Thalians, a mental health charity in 1955 and served as chairwoman for the organization for fifty-six years. She was an amazing woman and will be missed.

AND she is the top witch bitch from Halloween Town and needs her good name spread during HER holiday.

I’m just saying

so here’s our favorite adoptive space dad Bail Organa in Revenge of the Sith:

and here he is in Rogue One:

meanwhile, here’s Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith:

and here he is after the exact same amount of time: 

I’d like some of whatever Bail is having on Alderaan and exactly zero of what Obi-Wan is having on Tatooine 

[bemusedlybespectacled]

well one of them is the viceroy of alderaan and the other one is living as a hermit in space nevada, sorry that obi wan isn’t keeping up his moisturizing regimen on Planet Sand Hell while bail organa drinks kale smoothies in the shade

My depression is killing me today. Wish I knew how to force myself to disassociate again until it passes.

[solassitudes]

oh. maybe. maybe this it. maybe that’s the problem.
