Tabacum
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 4:00 pm
Dear all, I have recently been writing a piece about the remedy
Tabacum. I have themed the piece around Sir Walter Raleigh and his
connection to tobacco and I thought I would share this snippet with
you.
"Tabacum has a sensation as if struck on the head with a hammer and a
falling unconscious with an important accompanying modality of being
axe fall on his head but no doubt cold water washed away the blood.
More to the point….According to tradition, he showed no fear of the axe
and declined the blindfold saying "Think you I fear the shadow of the
axe when I fear not the axe itself." Lady Raleigh had his head embalmed
and kept it with her until her death. Their son, Carew, inherited it
and the head was buried with him.
Sir Walter's ghost is said to appear at Sherborne Castle on St.
Michael's Eve (20 September). He strolls through the grounds of the
castle, granted to him by Elizabeth in 1592, and sits under the tree
which bears his name. It was here where he supposedly, while smoking a
pipe of the first tobacco brought from America, that he was
"extinguished" by a terrified servant who doused him with a pitcher of
beer."
Is it ever possible that future descendents of this family were
actually involved in the proving of Tabacum, where they experienced
this modality giving weight to the possibility of genetic memory? What
a thought!
Best wishes, Joy
