Peasants ate very healthy in Middle Ages. The woman in this video says it isn’t true that people didn’t drink much water back in the middle ages. Most people have heard this common misconception that back in medieval times, people didn’t drink much water, because the water wasn’t good. I totally agree with that. If anything, the water sources were a lot more purer back then compared to our modern polluted water sources. They usually use this misconception to justify why people were drinking so much wine. Some alternative researchers in Russia claim that when Christianity came to pagan Slavic Russia, they were encouraging the common people to drink more wine. The church held special gatherings or ceremonies where wine was passed a round. I am not against drinking a little bit of alcohol during holidays, but it appears that after Christianity took over, Slavic people started to go from drinking alcohol during celebrations to becoming addicted to alcohol.
If you fast forward this video to 9:12 & 25:07, they say same thing about the lack of water consumption in Middle Ages. Here they say King Henry VIII drank wine first thing in the morning, and the reason he drank so much wine was because it was a necessity, because water was not save for consumption. I don’t think that’s true. The further back in time we go, away from urbanization, the cleaner the water sources get.
I recently saw a YouTube video where a woman was discussing old natural remedy for different medical issues related to teeth & gums. These natural remedies come from knowledge that comes from Slavic folk medicine. I remember she was talking about Cloves a lot. She was reading an entire breakdown of medicinal properties of cloves, and how cloves could be used for different problems that had to do with oral health. It wasn’t just to clean the teeth, or to give a good breath. It was a lot deeper. I don’t remember all of the scientific information she read in her video, but I remember she talked about grinding together fennel seeds and cloves, and brushing your teeth and gums with this powder for periodontal disease relief. Today we think that modern conventional medicine is the only source we can go to for medical help, but actually there’s a whole fount of knowledge sitting dormant waiting for us to rediscover it by exploring our ethnic pagan roots, and folk knowledge & traditions.
Here’s that video about para Periodontal disease and the use of clover & fennel seeds. If you look up medicinal properties of cloves, you will be surprised just how amazing cloves are for your health
My two cats are allowed to go outside anytime they want. So they spend as much time outside as they please. When they return home, they often bring me these offerings that they leave right outside the backdoor through which they come back inside the house. Most of the times they leave me half eaten lizards, but a several times they left me small dead birds, and even one dead mole. Of course I appreciate that my cats leave me these offerings, I suppose to show me their appreciation that I take care of them, but I really wish they wouldn’t.
Hideous, cruel treatment of animals on factory farms. Mothers separated from their newborns. It’s pure evil
Science laboratory versus nature’s laboratory
Morena, Morana, Mara, Marzanna, Marmora, Morė is a Slavic goddess of death & winter.
Morana the Slavic goddess of death and winter, and Vesna, Slavic goddess of spring and rebirth, are forever intertwined. They keep the constant cycle of death & rebirth turning. Slavic people had a tradition during the beginning of spring equinox to burn an effigy to symbolize the exit of Morana/winter, and the return of Vesna/spring. Until today the Russian word for spring is “Vesna”.
Ebola, the H1N1 swine flu, and now coronavirus possibly social experimentation? Practicing creating a global chaos to bring about order out of chaos? Coronavirus is a global problem. Media loves to use the word “global” when talking about the coronavirus. They present it as: we are all in it together, one human race, united in a global fight against coronavirus. Or maybe not, it may have nothing to do with globalization.
As the cycle turns the spring returns
