The story is about digital humanities research materials: Medicine Magic and The Hidden Occult. It consists of doctors medical records and diagnostic charts about witchcraft from 400 years ago. It might be worth checking out the original materials [See links] Just to see what medicine looked like historically. Warning illegible handwriting of doctors existed in the 17th century and there may be secret spells or results of spells.

Crossroads facts: Hedge witches were protected as doctors in some baronies of Europe as healers outside the walls of the towns. Doctors bled people and hedge witches prescribed herbal treatments. It was possibly the remnants of the Cultus of Pharmakos or Asklepios Glykon see unverified article on this external website, and on also on gypsypagan.com in the health and wellness section here. “The poison was the cure”

Suspects some witch because it takes his wife very strangely & also his child at diff[erent] times. Very ill. Was advised by one Andrew Ward an Alsman [almsman?] in Rowell an old man to put of some of his wife’s hair [between lines: in the fore part of her head] in 4 places before & nape of the neck behind & over both ears, & then to bore thorough any of her ears to get some of her blood also a farthing worth of brimstone a farthing worth of rosen [resin] bind all together & fling it into the fire any time of the day. If it leaps out to put it in again. If any came for anything not to let them have anything. One Goody Barton came to borrow it & brought it presently again.

Selected Excerpts from eurekalert.org news release
“It’s taken ten years to sift through, edit and digitise all of the cases of Forman and Napier. The Casebooks Project has opened a wormhole into the grubby and enigmatic world of seventeenth-century medicine, magic and the occult,” said Kassell, from Cambridge’s History and Philosophy of Science Department.

Simon Forman (1552-1611) is one of London’s most infamous astrologers. He stood apart from the medical elite because he was not formally educated and because he represented, and boldly asserted, medical ideas that were antithetical to those held by most learned physicians.
The transcriptions are now online here: https://casebooks.wordpress.com/. The complete casebooks edition can be found at: https://casebooks.lib.cam.ac.uk/, which houses digitisations of all 80,000 cases worth of original notes in the hand of both astrologers. After centuries contained within 66 calf-bound volumes in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, these extraordinary archives can now be searched and browsed online by anyone.

The Proof that The Spirit of God or
Divinity Can Exist on Planet Earth
The search for proof that the spirit of god or divinity can exist on planet earth was what was accepted by the Oriental Orthodox, the Alexandrian Copticsas well as Judaism, Islam and some but not all Greek and Russian Orthodox as being one of the missions of The Church of Opposition. (1) The reason to support Howard Stanton’s Church was simple, everyone exchanged information about proof of divinity on earth. This was the first United States “National Multi-National Indigenous Church”
The name was never agreed on, so it ended up being legally called the [UN Named] CoS. We never use the name in public out of respect for the spirits of the Holocaust dead we stand in for. It was also called The Church of No Name at the Crossroads. The reason for “Jewish and Gypsy” (1) support of what was sometimes being called “The Pagan Church in Exile” was the fact that the bones and blood were mixed in the fires of Europe. Christian support was Eastern not Catholic and not Protestant. Which fits the European, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, North African and United States of America sentiments of the time.
In every human being on planet earth the oppositionists said there exists the capability for divinity to exist, we create it in ourselves. We will it into being. We share it with each other. Even if you do not believe in God this is the first proof. You need to ask Zeena how to explain it and she has done so very well, you can listen to her Karla or Howard Stanton on YouTube. Beliefs change over time as we all grow in spirit together. [The people of humanity AND/OR The people of the human spirit]
The Witches said it existed in nature and in various spirit forms that we could access singly and together. You could see evidence of divinity on planet earth if you knew where and how to look. [The people of the trees and the seeds (nature worship)]
We looked backwards in time, we needed to find the god or goddess that controlled the in-between time, the instant between knowing and not knowing some called it creativity or the creative force. The mother earth worshippers called one of their main goddesses Aphrodite/Venus some aspects are Love, Woman, Ancestress. We agreed with the modern Greeks and Romans that this was probably best split into the Greek Aphrodite–Woman–Love and Roman Venus–Woman–Ancestress. The primary or proto male god was undetermined but all could agree that the oldest one must be a horned god because if your women could not give milk a horned animal’s milk was safe and would raise your child. That must surely be the oldest god because his gift was milk. What were his names around the world? [The people of the ancients]
We searched and found that perhaps there was a older goddess with a triple spirit force form. Just like a woman’s lifespan her divine aspects were different depending on what epithet you were praying to. She was called Hekate and her temple worship was a total mystery. We are still learning today.
We could all agree that if there was one higher god it must be the same on all over the planet Earth because we all live on Earth together and a god on one side of the earth must have created the whole thing so when we talked to “the one god” it must be the same god. What were the thousand names of God?
Were all the indigenous religions praying to different aspects of god—spirit— ancestor—forces? Were they calling Hekate Aidonaia, Hekate Phosphoros, (the light bringer) Hekate Erodia, all of which are different aspects of Hekate. How that worked in real life we did not know but all could agree that she pre-dated most other Goddess forms and the Pagans agreed that she was appropriate for the Los Angeles Gypsy Pagan Holocaust Shrine as she had the capability to protect and ward off evil and control the crossroads to the underworld. She represented the cycle of death and rebirth like their twin goddess Morana and Vesna. Hekate would also stay with the spirits of the departed as companion after death. This was deemed appropriate by Judaism and the Orthodox as they could not be sure which soul they were laying to rest.
Hekate lit the way on the path to the other side with her torch or lantern. Nobody knew how to bury or pray for so many unknown souls so she was chosen as a caretaker until they could be properly prayed for. Islam agreed also as Hekate had the ability to control spirits and the time between time when men’s minds might be changed. More consultation was needed about male—spirit—force forms and Samael appeared but the translation of the name in the bible was done incorrectly if you looked at the context. Why would a angel be standing at the side of men. Why would an angel represent a opposing king. The search found the [New] Babylonian version of that Angel more accurate and a better fit to the biblical accounts. The Catholic Pope now uses the term The Devil rather than Satan, it’s taken 50 years for that change. The Catholic Pope now says it’s the same God all over the planet earth. Greetings and Welcome.
Always and forever the searchfor divinity on earth continues. IF the proof that the spirit of god or divinity can exist on planet earth CAN NOT be proven then how can you prove Jesus was the son of God created by the Holy Spirit in the Womb of Mary? How can you have miracles that God provides? How can you have Saints? Divinity must exist on earth as evidence of God or the Spirit of God otherwise it is all tricks, lies and deceit. Can you see the problem here? Recognition ofwhat God is becomes the issue. If you have an example divinity, is it divided or a twin like Morana and Vesna? Or is it a triple like Hekate, which allows for the time-in-between-time AND the time-out-of-time? This was discussed in the CalTech and Pasadena talks.
If you like physics you can probably guess what a couple of those discussions were like. In academia proofs spread like wildfires. If the scientific questions asked were real or valid then the proof was part of the validation of divinity on earth, the answer would be found and it would fit within the Classical, Neo-Classical or Modern Systems. It would usually be found to be an aspect or epithet of one of the Ancients or the Syncretic Gods or Goddesses. Sometimes a hidden truth was in a ritual or a folk belief held by one faith group or another. If it sounded true then they would pursue it. You can think about it in terms of Gödel’s ontological proof that came out in 1970.
In answer to your unspoken question yes we hung out here as well as other places or rather we showed up and people gathered. They were called park talks sometimes. It was child visitations. He paid for the babysittters and gas money to visit him. I could usually be found in Southern California with the neighbor girls in the Pinto’s and at book signings sometimes. This is one reason why the original UNCOS is a very different church.
Personal Historical Note Sat April 27 2019 after receiving word that yet another Church shooting has occurred this time in Poway California. One woman was killed and three people were wounded. So I started writing this history note about The Hekate Sanctuary and Shrine in support.
Notes:
(1) We are not talking about spirits or souls but divinity.
Notes: (1) I am very aware of the pejorative aspects of being called Jewish or Gypsy or Romani. There is a movement in the UK within the Romani community to reclaim the name and use it for themselves. It’s the same thing as saying Meo but not Mọi for Montagnards which is French for Mountain People. All of it is a exonym. [External Name] In SoCal Gypsy Pagan was sometimes used as slang and it’s a keyword pair hence the usage here. Ask First was the whole point of the domain name. Asians usually get it instantly and ask.

What does it sound like? When did you first hear the silent voice of the spirit of the Gypsy, Pagan, Caravan
Was it in Europe after WWII with the 60 million ghosts?Germany?Poland? Czechoslovakia? Ukraine? Russia? Okinawa? Tarawa? Bataan? Pearl Harbor? Tunisia? Egypt? Iraq? Palestine? Israel? Iran?Afghanistan?
60 million ghosts
When I moved in my birth family came out here and asked my immediate neighbors to please not yell my name at me as I had a birth defect and my heart would race for about 45 minutes if you yelled at me or frightened or scared me. This next part is only true if I am remembering it correctly—they talked to the city community patrol and or the city attorney about the Greek/Anatolian front yard blessing for a Hekate shrine that we all performed —so there would be no evil spirits or ghosts here. The City of Redlands (people who worked for the city) at that time said they could not support the shrine with city services and because they did not know what it was or what happened in the family Hekate sanctuary they said the only thing they could do was not to respond for a hour to the property which would give people time to do what ever they had to do and figure out what was going on before the police got here.
This made some sense to me as we do have about 3-6 cars a day that are tourists. (It works out to about 80,000 dollars in yearly tourist spend) I think the police thought it was a Wiccan shrine and people would be dancing around naked under the full moon. They have repeatedly said in public to the neighborhood that they don’t care what is going on inside private property in this neighborhood.
This presented a couple of problems to the neighborhood and myself. Ghost hunters and spiritualists were already here and people have been doing séances in Redlands since the revival of “Christian Spiritualism” in the early 1900’s. Redlands California is known as one of the most haunted towns in the Inland Empire. This is fine but to Pagans, Neo-Pagans and Wiccans especially Hecate’s the whole ghost-hunting environment is a problem because they are trying to pray to God or the Goddesses and having people fake ghosts by talking as if they are spirits is the absolute worst thing for their OR any religion, all around the world.
Unfortunately the local Christian protestant population decided that they would try to fake spirits and ghosts to convince people to come to their Christian churches They said they had the answers for people about the silent voice of God or Goddess that people sometimes hear when they pray.
This is so very wrong to do to people who sometimes think they hear God, The Goddess and/or The Holy Spirit or Jesus answering their prayers, that it get’s everyone very upset at Christians for trying to fake ghosts to get you to go to their churches. Sometimes around here they will sit there and say evil things to you to try to get you to do evil things like steal things or try to get you to hurt other people— they are doing this to fake the voice of Satan or the devils in your mind. They will walk right up to you and say that the little voice in your mind is Satan and you should come to their church because Jesus Saves.
People who practice Islam for example (it’s all religions actually) abhor this type of talking because it’s evil. It is evil to speak evil thoughts to other people, to try and get them to do evil things that are against their religion. In the United States of America it’s against the constitutional freedom of religion to do this. Everyone has the right to practice his or her own religion and to live in peace. When people tell other people to do evil things that are against their religion under the guise of saying we are talking to you because it’s our religion to talk to people like ghosts: “We are the Christian Spiritualists” (1) it’s unconstitutional to do that.
Christian protestants are usually the ones that have a major problem with this and I will use them as an example: What if you are a devout Christian and you have been praying all your life to Jesus for an answer from God. What if God actually answers you personally in a quiet voice in your mindthat only you can hear? This is a problem because to certain protestants they believe that is the voice of Satan or the devil in your mind that only tells you to do evil things or sin.
They actually believe that the part of their human brain that thinks of the worst thing to do, the actual bad or evil thought is the fallen angel called Lucifer or Satan speaking directly to them silently in their minds. This is WRONG because if Satan or the Devil is speaking the evil thoughts to you in your mind then God or the Holy Spirit can speak to you also.
Which one is Jesus or God or the Holy Spirit and which one is a demon or fallen angel we don’t know for sure because man’s own brainprovides the thoughts that we think. The thought voice in your mind is your own it is only when you hear another “internal thought voice” in there that you should pay attention to what you are hearing. The rest of the time it’s just your own thoughts. We cannot tell people that the other voice if they ever hear it is only the devil because what if it’s God or Goddess?

Notes:
(1) Or the KKK or the white supremacist people who do this and say it’s part of their religion.
They say: “We are the spiritualists, we are talking to you like the ghosts or spirits. We do not like you to respond to us. That’s all we are asking you to do is not respond because we are spiritualists. That’s our religion.”
For over 50 years now they have asked The Church of S-T-N for protection forgetting that it is actually The Church of Oppositionand has holocaust survivor families in it, all over the USA. The KKK’s problem in California is that The Hells Angels and other motorcycle and car clubs were founded by returning servicemen who’s units opened the death camp gates and helped the holocaust survivors. They came back with spirits and ghosts of their own and we recognize their connection (and other groups as well) with the Spirit of The Gypsy The Pagan, The Caravan at the Crossroads as being a legitimate one.
The bones and the blood are mixed in the concrete angel.
