His acolytes would gather here in prayer, sing unfamiliar, strange hymns, and even engaged in sexual acts and orgies. One rumor was that Rasputin has begun following the fringe sect of the Russian Orthodox Church, Khlysty. Khlysty's root origin comes from the work "Khlyst" which translated to "whip" in Russian. Khlysts believed that instead of worshipping and communicating with the Holy Spirit through priests and holy texts, people could communicate directly with a higher power. One man and women, physical representations of both "Christ" and the "Mother of God", lead each Khlysty Ark (or group). Ark's regularly practiced self flagellation and the attainment of divine grace through sinful means, such as sexual orgies. This group was often persecuted and largely disavowed by church officials.

The most infamous and promising of these was implemented by a German physician named Hermann Brehmer. During his studies Brehmer was diagnosed with tuberculosis. Relocating to the Himalayas, Brehmer managed to cure himself of the disease and attributed this to the fresh air and cleaner climate. He went on to write a dissertation titled, "Tuberculosis is a Cureable Disease." The first German sanatorium for the systematic open-air treatment of tuberculosis was founded by him and carried on by Peter Deittweiler. Both of these men would have profound effect on Edward Trudeau, who would bring the practice to Saranac Lake in the 1880s by way of the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium. German physician, Hermann Brehmer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017707317-TWEF0YU8ZPG3XOEAPQOW/New-nurses.jpg Reflections - CURE COTTAGES IN THE AGE OF CONSUMPTION - For others who couldn't afford their own cure cottage or camp, there were a few differing types of accommodations and services. Nursing cottages were established for those who were unable to get around and take care of themselves in their advanced state. Boarding cottages would offer a place for the sick to stay for extended periods of times and also provided services for external cottages which didn't provide boarding. This would involve bringing meals to patients at those cottages. https://www.croneandcasket.com/reflections/2018/05/27/gettysburg-ghosts monthly 0.5 2024-08-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724445655821-F0Y0VIEHTEVTPZDE5TEC/10653849_10154552616750062_664115645060074447_n.jpg Reflections -

THE TASTE OF BLOOD: NEW ORLEANS VAMPIRE JACQUES SAINT GERMAIN - While walking in New Orleans it's easy to miss the large brick building with the bright red door at the corner of Ursuline and Royal street. In 1902, it would be home to one of the most infamous vampires in the world outside of the Vlad the Impaler. One could even argue Saint Germain far surpassed Vlad in his thirst for blood. In the dark streets of New Orleans, Germain hid in plain sight as an opulent member of the city elite. Jacques had a mysterious and colored past which he conveniently left behind before his voyage to the recently settled New Orleans which would allow him to lure many a soul into his home to their own peril.

After inheriting a good amount of wealth from her family, she began finding ways to join the medical and forensic community. She was a generous philanthropist, donating $250,000 to the Harvard University to create a chair in Legal Medicine. She also founded the Magrath Library of Legal Medicine. She was highly influential in the field, pushing police departments to move from dependence on coroners to actual medical investigators at crime scenes. She became known as the "Mother of Forensic Science." At the time of her philanthropic work Frances was an older woman at the age of 52. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017657109-DZC5G2FD6DGZGS8VZKSD/nutshell_burned_cabin2.jpg Reflections - DOLLHOUSES FOR THE DEAD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/17ca9367-f3df-4dd1-b40c-fe907fd674b3/171019125141-frances-lee-living-room.jpg Reflections - DOLLHOUSES FOR THE DEAD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/4877ba20-c402-425e-bfbc-ef329022b43e/nutshell_red_bedroom1_slide-7d3ad8fed5183914897fa81fbb4df2354c3ba131-s900-c85.jpg Reflections - DOLLHOUSES FOR THE DEAD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.croneandcasket.com/reflections/2018/03/27/the-hand-of-glory-a-thiefs-best-friend monthly 0.5 2024-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017645018-AP2XR9WMJH59VOXN6RQY/TomIngoldsby.png Reflections - THE HAND OF GLORY: A THIEF’S BEST FRIEND - Swiss Army Knife of the Supernatural Where this story varies greatly are the actual perceived powers of the Hand of Glory. Some of the more common stories told of the hand involve it's ability to render anyone in it's presence immobile or to fall into a deep sleep. It can also unlock any door encountered as well as glow bright when near treasure. It's flames are nearly impossible to extinguish once lit in some stories. The most gruesome source of this everlasting light is from German folklore which refer to the hands as "thief's lights". When the fingers are procured from a pregnant hanged thief's unborn child, cut off with the hangman's axe it becomes almost invincible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017650217-5LOF59JZ7LK4I43BAOYG/execution.jpg Reflections - THE HAND OF GLORY: A THIEF’S BEST FRIEND - Crafting the Occult The process for crafting a Hand of Glory was very precise and doesn't vary too much across folklore. It was either the left hand or the hand which committed a nefarious act they were found guilty of. The left hand was often viewed as the unlucky or evil hand. Sinistra, the Latin word, originally for "left", took on darker connotations and soon became used to describe sinister acts. Sorry all you lefties! Ideally it was removed during a lunar eclipse or at least during the night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017651410-ODA7H37CWM36VBEZDU72/hand-of-glory.jpg Reflections - THE HAND OF GLORY: A THIEF’S BEST FRIEND - Over the centuries, the folklore surrounding The Hand of Glory was passed down between generations as an extremely powerful token. The Hand of Glory, or main de gloire, is a severed human hand from the body of a hanged man. Carrying mystical powers, stories tell of it being a prized possession of thieves and criminals for it's potent powers. Accounts vary surrounding it's actual capabilities and ways to absolve yourself of it's wrath, but it remains one of the most intriguing stories of the magical and the macabre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017659918-QYEB9G6KI9P83RICSRBA/unbox-hand_160701.jpg Reflections - THE HAND OF GLORY: A THIEF’S BEST FRIEND - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/418f9fd7-1c04-4c81-922d-93400df938af/Merlin301_1215.jpg Reflections - THE HAND OF GLORY: A THIEF’S BEST FRIEND - Roots of the Mandrogore The history of the hand dates back to medieval times and can be seen as early as the 16th century in texts. In general, we can see a similar thread woven throughout the folklore - the hand of a deadman has always had mystical powers.The hand's roots, no pun intended, can be traced back to the French phrase Main de Glorie; a moniker for the Mandrake root. The word mandrogore, the French version of mandrake, bares a striking resemblance to Main de Glorie. It's no stretch of the imagination to see how closely the two are related. Also contributing to the lore surrounding the hand was the belief that the plant grew from the seeds of a hanged man below the gallows and would even emit a glow during the night. They also looked eerily like human hands.Earliest references to the legend of the mandrogore were present during the 15th century but the story seems to have transitioned to the hand sometime between then and the 16th century. https://www.croneandcasket.com/reflections/2018/03/23/how-wax-women-found-beauty-in-death monthly 0.5 2024-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/26494c65-c8e8-4d85-ab78-6c8f4319b8fb/Anatomical_Venus._Wax_figure_of_reclining_woman%2C_Florence._Wellcome_L0058207.jpg Reflections - DISSECTED GRACES: WAX WOMEN DURING THE ENLIGHTENMENT - Made of wax, the anatomical venus is a striking resemblance to a living, breathing woman.

The art form slowly fell out of style towards the end of the era as embalming gained popularity. After Lincoln's assassination his body was preserved and carted around the country by train to allow his people to mourn. This journey would require a method to preserve the body. Any decay, odor, or shocking changes to the visage that the American public was so familiar with would need to be avoided at all costs. It was a rather macabre event. Oddly enough Lincoln's son who has died of Typhoid at the age of 11 was also disinterred and brought on the ghoulish tour and reburied next to his father in Springfield. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017634827-EL5H5V0J4H5QE3219CBR/17iosqawv9a0vjpg.jpg Reflections - THE LOST CRAFT OF VICTORIAN HAIR ART - Previous to Lincoln's assassination, Dr. Thomas Holmes would be on the battlefield serving as a part of the civil war. Holmes would test a new procedure called "arterial embalming". This procedure gave way to the modern day practice of draining the blood from the arteries and replacing it with preservative chemicals. When the public realized they could have their son's corpse sent home for a proper viewing and burial, demand skyrocketed. This paved the path to the undertaker (soon to become the funeral director) gaining a position of stature and respect within local communities. Previously, the undertaker carried no weight within popular social circles and was often viewed as a grim figure.

Many families were forced to confront death directly whether it was because of the lack of medical advances, the mourning of Prince Albert by Queen Victoria (the queen after which the era was name) 40 years after his death until her own, or the Civil War that was being waged in America where over 620,000 soldiers lost their lives. This period is unique since we see such a strong development of mourning culture. Many of the historical tales I'll share on this blog took place at this time, but today I'm going to focus on Victorian hair art. A Victorian mourning wreath made with the hair of a deceased loved one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017659318-DM97EZ14P8G47VNDKBE6/tumblr_lme8vvywbo1qise0mo1_500.jpg Reflections - THE LOST CRAFT OF VICTORIAN HAIR ART - Wear Mom's Hair as Earrings When most people think of hair and mementos they think of a lock of hair in a locket worn around the neck. A simple representation of keeping a piece of a loved one close after they're gone. During the time it was even practice among the living seen as a gesture of friendship. Girls would exchange locks of hair similarly to the friendship bracelets we see today. Hair is an extremely personal thing. The power in which a color or tone of hair holds, the style in which its worn, the length, it's health, it's age are all incredibly representative of the wearer. Beyond the simple locket, women of middle class standing, would make elaborate wreaths, earrings, brooches, and even dioramas from the deceased's hair. A blend of the deceased and living's hair could also be used as a sentimental representative of the closeness of the family to the deceased. Hair from the dead would be collected and saved in a "hair collector" so it'd could be used to weave into elaborate designs. Hair was collected one by one as each family member passed away. The practice was viewed as a simple part of tending to your home and was featured in publications for women at the time. You could find patterns similar to dress patterns available today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017658344-A1KO68NQ5VWC6WIKEZZT/r88wdvt.jpg Reflections - THE LOST CRAFT OF VICTORIAN HAIR ART - Families were made to believe corpses were somehow dangerous to families and could spread disease. Shocker: Dead bodies pose no risk to the living, unless their death was caused by something contagious like tuberculosis. Best to hand over these ticking time bombs to the professionals, right? r88wdvt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017646717-R10MDXJA1P2DALYVM6FC/c17364a57d866237f76f376bea82b49a.jpg Reflections - THE LOST CRAFT OF VICTORIAN HAIR ART - Keepers of the craft Present day there are some organizations which strive to keep the art alive. Most infamous is the Leila's Hair Museum, which is run by Leila Cohoon who begin her collection in 1952. She's been collecting every since, so you can imagine how many pieces she's acquired over the ages. At the now defunct Morbid Anatomy Museum, there were previously classes devoted to crafting Victorian hair art. You can also find some originals at auctions, estate sales, and antique stores. With the art not completely lost, a small sect of the public strive to keep it alive. Do you own any Victorian hair art? Would you like to? Would you make a piece from your loved one's hair? https://www.croneandcasket.com/reflections/2017/09/19/so-you-wanna-be-a-creep monthly 0.5 2024-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017632719-8O0MIG1TQ6FZZB9MPVEN/witches-of-america-design-rachel-willey.jpg Reflections - OCTOBER RECOMMENDATIONS - Guys. GUYS. I finished a book. A physical book! It's been a while since I've been genuinely intrigued by a piece of non fiction. Throw witches in the title and I'm bound to have my interests piqued but for a title to hold my attention is impressive. In "Witches of America" Alex Mar spends time traversing various pagan religions from traditional Wicca to the reclusive Feri tradition and even delving into Thelemic magick. Since a young age, I discovered Wicca at age 12, I've been enthralled with the concept of the occult and worship of deities but have never through to really read more into the various sects and paths of practice. witches-of-america-design-rachel-willey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017631617-DG74NY66CT0IFOFN2YJG/richard.jpeg Reflections - OCTOBER RECOMMENDATIONS - Quiet. Understated. Factual, yet fictitious enough to have a brilliant story woven by Richard Maclean Smith, the podcast's host. Unexplained was started back in 2016 as a bi-weekly podcast tackling the unknown occurrences across history that have somehow evaded explanation. I'm always shocked to discover how few people actually know about this podcast. I would rank it at the same level as Lore, and at some times would prefer the subject matter over the vanilla rehashed topics of other paranormal podcasts. Trust me, I really don't need to hear more about the Danvers State Hospital or Rolling Hills. Unexplained cuts deep with some of the most obscure and compelling content I've heard in a long time. I'd recommend starting with Season 1 Episode 10: The Spaces that Linger to journey to Aleister Crowley's (and later Jimmy Page's) home, the infamous Boleskine house or start at the beginning with Season 1 Episode 1: Opening the Gate which discusses the mystery surrounding the death of occultist Netta Fornario. Host of Unexplained podcast, Richard MacLean Smith. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017632408-GBTJ851HJFHRQV3BTECS/suspiria-jessica-harper.jpg Reflections - OCTOBER RECOMMENDATIONS Jessica Harper, as Suzy Bannon, in the 1977 cult classic, Suspiria https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017630820-HH2EI3PGK1RR3C68ZCGF/harrow-county-1-6-comic-review-3.jpg Reflections - OCTOBER RECOMMENDATIONS Harrow County written by Cullen Bunn and illustrated by Tyler Crook. https://www.croneandcasket.com/reflections/2017/08/13/book-review-uzumaki-by-junji-ito monthly 0.5 2024-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017622020-HMMY9GVNRS9N5QUE80XY/awitf7x.jpg Reflections - BOOK REVIEW: UZUMAKI BY JUNJI ITO - I will say only one story out of the 18 felt somewhat out of place and forced. "Jack-in-the-Box" stood out to me as different from the tone of the other chapters. Without giving away spoilers, it hits upon more traditional horror themes with a bit of a twist (no pun intended!) However, the panels in this chapter are some of the most grotesque and graphic panels of the entire manga. It's interesting that this was left in considering at the end of the omnibus they made the decision to add some cut stories as a bonus. This definitely feels as though it could be one of the chapters on the same chopping block since it didn't do much to further the plot or overall story. Overall, I was so disappointed when I finished this. I genuinely looked forward to having a quiet moment each day where I could fuel my nail biting habit with genuinely terrifying thoughts. I appreciated how carefully Junji Ito has paid attention to those deep dark recesses of the human consciousness that allow us to think the unthinkable. Also, I'll never be able to eat escargot again, so thanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017627408-UQ77WOG277YCBQFQBUIT/uzumaki-by-junji-ito-02.jpg Reflections - BOOK REVIEW: UZUMAKI BY JUNJI ITO - You might have remembered part of my comics haul a while back that I picked up the hardcover omnibus of the horror manga Uzumaki by Junji Ito. Out of all the items I picked up that day, this was one of the first that I dug into simply because I had heard about it for so long and seen some of the panels prior. My interest was already very much piqued. I finally shelled out the $32 to get the hardcover (go big or go home, right?)I have to say, from the very first story entitled, "The Spiral Obsession", I was hooked. The book tells the story of Kirie, a high school girl who's town has become the center of the supernatural curse focused around spirals. This isn't your traditional horror story filled with the expected horror tropes and usual scares. Full disclosure: There are creepy kids and the walking (or bouncing?) dead. However; one of the elements that make this manga so terrifying is it how it crosses into territory which is rarely explored. Things that make you uncomfortable. Irrational parents who lose their minds and their children's lack of control over their parent's own well being. Slow and uncontrollable transformations into grotesque creatures. Spiral clouds made from the cremated ashes of loved ones circling the sky seemingly calling your name. The fear of not knowing where, when, and how the spiral will appear in your life and torment you next. Nothing is expected in this book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/66c14681479f4e282880cad1/1724017621925-TD7KOZZYXY4VV1JURB55/7e381c9df1a0b13e4b95f6a2fbe415b5.jpg Reflections - BOOK
