Show 70: Paracelsus and Christian Herbalism

What this episode covers

In this episode, I discuss the legendary doctor and alchemist, Paracesus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim. He was a figure of great controversy, who turned the world on its head and revolutionized medicine. He was also a devout Christian, trained in Monastic Medicine and German Folk Medicine. I also discuss the war in Ukraine and moral relativism.

The Art of Arms l’Arte Dell Armi At the Art of Arms we have one solitary vision, to bring the historical martial arts we study as HEMA or WMA practitioners to life by telling the stories of those who lived it. The hours of research, writing, transcription and translation are worth it when we get to see Altoni’s Spiedo section in action at the Baglioni Palazzo, Fiore’s armor techniques displayed on the battlefields of San Giovanni in Persiceto, Liectenauer’s rossfechten techniques thundering across the terrain of southern Germany, the Anonimo’s sword and gauntlet brought to bear in the lists of Mantua; these are the moments where history and martial arts meet, and we’re dedicated to bringing these moments to you our dear listeners. We hope you enjoy!
