Cookies of Joy from St Hildegard
After our call today, I began researching fervently of the three rivers in my hometown Pittsburgh, PA and how they swirl to create a confluence. The Triskelion swirling in our Holy Grail. How are we able to purify our waters that are muddied with this phlegm? St Hildegard von Bingen has been coming to me with music and today cookies! In her herbal texts, she wrote a recipe to help reduce black bile and rebalance the humors of the body.
"Take some nutmeg and an equal weight of cinnamon and a bit of cloves, and pulverize them. Then make small cakes with this and fine whole wheat flour and water. It will calm all bitterness of the heart and mind, open your heart and impared senses, and make your mind cheerful. It purifies your senses and diminishes all harmful humors in you. It gives good liquid to your blood, and makes you strong." -Physica
I have grown very fond of her medieval music. Enjoy this piece 🕊️ and may our waters run clear
All wonderful, thank you for sharing the enchantment of Hildegard!
