George Michael photographed by Herb Ritts for Interview magazine’s October 1988 issue.

In 2008, Michael revealed to the Los Angeles Times that his maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she married a non-Jewish man and raised her children with no knowledge of their heritage due to her fear during World War II.

Photographer Herb Ritts was also of Jewish descent.

It's so insane how Poland, for a revoltingly Catholic country that it is, remains so very pagan about it.

Like you look at these 'Catholic' holidays and you think 'the Church did NOT come up with that'.

We have a holiday which's name roughly translates to 'Mother of God, Herbal' where, traditionally, you make a bouquet out of herbs, flowers, wheats and fruit [yes, fruit. Where I'm from people would impale an apple on a stick and use it as a centerpiece of the bouquet or pick rowan berry branches and place them around, but it's also common to use a twig of hazelnuts or late cherries], preferably from your own garden, basically including everything you want to grow beautifully for the year, and you bring it to the Church for a special mass which blesses your harvest. Traditionally those bouquets are to include medicinal herbs, like cornelians, thyme, absinthes, tansy or bullweed flowers, and most still do.

That is not Catholic.

That is old Slavic.

This was here when the Catholics came, and I pray to the land that it will still be here when someday they're finally, miraculously gone.

“The ancient practice of herbalism started by our ancestors noting how animals would consume specific plants when sick, intuitively aware of their medicinal properties.” - Simon Jr. Jackson, The Lost Herbal Medicine Bible

Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China

Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China is a groundbreaking work delving into the realm of du, meaning toxic or poison, within Chinese pharmacy. Taking readers to China during the 3rd to 10th centuries, a crucial period for the systematic development of knowledge surrounding du, Yan Liu examines how physicians, officials, and other historical figures conceptualized and utilized potent substances. This book contributes to the ongoing scholarly discussion on pharmaceuticals and reveals the intriguing fluid materiality of medicines. It further challenges the notion that Chinese medicine is natural, mild, and predominately focuses on restoring the body's harmony.

This video was also fascinating to me because it shows some of the practices within Greek traditional (and thus, ancient, too - to a large degree) knowledge of nature and medicine. Religion plays a big part in the healing process, too, since many plants and various honey products are produced on our holy mountain, Athos.

Please, don't take this as medical advise. This is purely informative in nature only about cultural reasons. Always speak with a professional doctor about your health and possible treatments! That's not to say herbs and honey products don't have healing properties! But, just take care!

Herb Ritts took this photo, Fred With Tires, in a Hollywood Mechanics shop for Per Lui magazine in 1984 and began a long career as one of the World’s top fashion photographers because of it.
