Alternatively, a melancholiac might be advised to eat ostrich liver, a suggestion I find particularly unappealing, though I could be persuaded to test the supposed benefits of precious stones.

the oppression of your mind will cease.

O glorious St. Hildegard, Abbess of the Order of St. Benedict and Doctor of the Universal Church, we now join in the prayer you taught us.
Christine Valters PaintnerGUEST
And so, yeah, so while I was doing all that academic work, I was also moving more deeply into what I think ultimately would become my calling in terms of my ministry, which has been this more spiritual direction and retreat work.
Christine Valters PaintnerGUEST
And during all of that, I fell in love with Benedictine spirituality and through St. Hildegard of Bingen.
Christine Valters PaintnerGUEST
She was the first one I discovered in my doctoral studies, and I fell in love with her.
Christine Valters PaintnerGUEST
She's a 12th century Benedictine abbess who was a visionary and a musician and a writer and a preacher and herbalist and so many things.
LukeHOST
And I think it was like the 13th or 14th centuries.
LukeHOST
But like, was there a specific reason for this crackdown, Eleanor? Or is it something they were like, well, Hildegard is great, but the rest of you kind of suck.
LukeHOST
So
EleanorHOST
I think that there was kind of like a little too many of them.
Hannah FryHOST
And people have done this for ages, by the way, right? This is like, this is not a new thing that people have, have thought about ingesting collagen in order to improve, um, improve how they're feeling.
Hannah FryHOST
If you go back to the 12th century, this is, this is from Zahn's book, by the way, uh, according to several collagen industry websites, the abbess and scholar Hildegard von Bingen wrote about the use of animal extracts for treating joint pain.
Hannah FryHOST
Um, which is kind of a nice idea that, that if you're sort of giving people a broth 'cause they're feeling a- aches and pains.
Hannah FryHOST
But then I think also at the same time, if you're sort of a 12th century peasant, uh, I would imagine that a, a meaty broth would, would, I mean, probably do you quite, quite a lot of good.
Wendy RuleHOST
And by committing to a regular ritual practice, we bring ourselves into alignment with the flow of nature.
Wendy RuleHOST
[gentle music] There is an historical figure who I find just so incredibly fascinating, and her name is Hildegard von Bingen, and I think she is an extraordinary embodiment of Virgo archetypal energy.
Wendy RuleHOST
We don't know her birth date, only that she was born in one thousand and ninety-eight in what is now Germany.
Wendy RuleHOST
So I don't know if she's a Virgo.
Wendy RuleHOST
And then later that year, she was named a doctor of the church, only the fourth woman to receive the title.
Wendy RuleHOST
No great surprise there.
Wendy RuleHOST
So yeah, why I am wanting to share the incredible talents of Hildegard von Bingen with you for this special Virgo dark moon episode is that she so embodies those Virgo qualities of being in service, of healing and earth and craft and discipline and scholarship, language and attention to detail.
Wendy RuleHOST
She led a life of sustained sacred work.
