Genoese Medicine Chest, 1562-1566

This magnificent and unique medicine chest was made for Vincenzo Giustiniani (d. 1570), the last Genoese governor of the island of Chios in the eastern Aegean Sea. He ruled Chios from 1562 until the Turks expelled the Genoese in 1566 after an occupation of some two hundred years. On a box from the middle drawer is painted the symbol of Chios – a black eagle above a three-towered castle. The chest contains 126 bottles and pots for drugs, some of which still have their original contents. These include rhubarb powder, ointment for worms, juniper water and mustard oil. The chest measures nearly a metre long. The painting on the inside of the lid is a later addition. It remained in the Giustiniani family until it was bought by Henry Wellcome in 1924.

Introduction

Every one million starts with one. Everything has a beginning, And this is ours. Wicca isn’t what people make it out to be. It is far different and more vast than our minds can even fathom. However, with this in mind, nothing is closed off to is. As there are still millions of concepts and principals to discover and learn. This page will be venturing into the topics of crystals, demonology, reiki, and many more to come. From the the entities that sway to the tune of nature, to the darker ones living beneath our plane lf existence, all will be discussed soon enough.. Step into the world of “the old religion” (this inaccurate title will be explained in my first real post). You may find yourself in a place you never found possible. Enlightenment doesn’t come easy, nor quickly, I doubt I'll achieve such bliss in any of the years to come. However, we all must start somewhere, just as I did. I am still studying, as well, and am just a beginner. This, however, is beneficial towards this blog! I know what beginners wish to learn, and what some masters may not remember. Be you starting out or coming back to your roots, may this blog be of assistance to you in any way possible. ~Blessed Be Thee~
