"Historians will tell you the Black Death spread through fleas, through rats, through trade routes that carried more than goods between cities.
They will tell you it moved quickly, that it devastated populations, that entire households could fall within days.
They will not tell you how people knew it had already begun.
Not officially."
Then the illness had already taken hold." #blackplague #horror #rats #plague #sickness #epidemic #thebutcheredwriterssubstack

I am loving the show The Decameron. It feels pretty much perfect. It's baudy and darkly hilarious. No, I haven't read the original. Medieval Italian literature isn't my forte. #TheDecameron #BlackPlague #plague #tv

In 1812, the Brothers #Grimm told of #Folklore's Frau #Berchta, an #Alpine #Goddess.
The 5 #Petals of the #White #Christmas #Rose (#Helleborus niger) #Bloomed #Iridescent in her tracks. Berchta means #Luminous.
Niger refers to the #Black #Roots which were used to make a #Poultice during the #BlackPlague.
Berchta visited homes #Between #Christmas & #TwelfthNight to #Bless #Good children w/ #Gold coins & #Punish the #Naughty by stuffing their #Stomach-s w/ straw.
