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
