The Arma Christi [General discussion]

[Monica Yokubinas]

It's frustrating that I don't have time right now to write this up. I'm telling you, all Arma Christi are on just a few large plant bifolios. They are grouped.

It's almost ridiculous, they are all together. There's a plant like a chalice. The 30 coins (athough the VM plant has only 29). The pillar with ropes, the flails, the clubs, the torches, the rooster, the ladder, the lance, the wounds, and more and more.

The grail like plant on page f35r, through semitic definitions, talks about the 'source of origin' (placenta) the 'worm' (umbilical cord) and the 'life blood' to gather and is used in medicine for a 'deep sleep' or to 'renew oneself/repair'. 

"Other byproducts of labor were also reported to have great mystical properties. The placenta was considered by some to be an aphrodisiac and, if eaten, could be used to treat infertility, a practice that the church condemned.

These and other concerns regarding what the midwife-witch might do with human flesh and body fluids motivated regulations in German (Wurzburg, 1555) that clearly specified how the midwife was to dispose of all biological bi-products during the delivery."
