Repost: @archaeologyart Depictions of Demons (Divs) from a Divination Book on Magic and Astrology. Culture: Iran (Late Qajar Period). Date: 1921. Medium: Ink and watercolor on paper. Collection: Princeton University Library, Islamic Manuscripts Collection.
You are looking at a divinatory and magico‑medical catalog that was used by some occult healers in early 20th-century Iran. Itinerant sorcerers wandering the streets of Isfahan, known as “Rammal” (fortune-teller/healer), could use manuscripts like this rather than modern instruments such as a stethoscope to treat their patients. Since modern medicine had not yet become widespread in the provinces at that time, many people believed that various mysterious illnesses were caused by the attacks of “Divs” haunting a specific sign (Zodiac) rather than purely biological causes.
If you examine the visuals carefully, you can see the logic behind the drawings. For example, the purplish demon kneeling beside a swaddled baby placed in front of it (Image 112-1) recalls figures such as the “Lamashtu / Lilith / Al Karisi” (or Ummu Subyan), one of the oldest horror myths stretching from Anatolia to Mesopotamia. This entity, held responsible for puerperal fever and sudden infant deaths, was the greatest nightmare of mothers. Another interesting detail is the leopard-like spots covering the bodies of the demons; while this may also be an artistic convention, it can be read as a visual coding of epidemics frequently seen in that era that left marks on the skin, such as smallpox, measles, or the plague.
Some of the demons in the book are depicted with gold rings or shackles on their wrists and ankles. This detail suggests that these chaotic entities have been “bound” and controlled, evoking the authority of Prophet Solomon (The Master of the Djinn). Indeed, on some pages in the collection, highly specific and bizarre demons named “Palis” are described, which steal the blood and life energy of sleeping people by licking the soles of their feet. A Rammal could have shown this picture to his patient and said, “Your illness stems from this demon,” and read the talismanic prayers scrawled on the margins of the page to cast it out.
Thanks for read

So this warning has been issued for Japan:
Oh wow, Poor Japan. I remember that last major tsumami that slammed them. They’ll only get worse with all the temperature changes and oceans rising. Our family is in Kyoto. I hope they stay safe. Those earthquakes are devastating.
This is nice:
that isn’t what I wanted to share…

something is up with WordPress…
The story of rape both spiritually and phsyically as act of a god’s love always horrifies me. Seen it taken it into a ritual metaphor for some religious act and celebrated, instead of treated as a crime committed, is anathema to me.
That Eric quote cannot be real, right? I mean, I usually trust the reporting from here implicitly, but that’s fake right?
Appreciate the posts as always.
