The Story Of Natuzza Evolo: Calabrian Mystic

Natuzza was a Calabrian mystic who acted as a medium and healer, showed evidence of stigmata, and could “bi-locate” — be in two different places at once. She is also connected with “hemography,” which is when blood stains miraculously transform into symbols, shapes, and even words, particularly Christian ones like crosses.

Natuzza was born in 1924 in Paravati, a tiny hamlet near Mileto in Calabria. Her given name is Fortunata, from which the diminutive “Natuzza” comes. Natuzza’s father had left for Argentina a few months before she was born, and he never returned, leaving Natuzza’s mother alone to care for her newborn as well as her other children.

Natuzza never learned to read or write and helped support her mother and siblings by working for local families. She allegedly began having her first visions as a small child — Jesus, it is said, appeared to her as a boy who played with her and one of her brothers — but her brushes with the dead didn’t become popular knowledge around town until she began experiencing them as a young teen at work.

And it wasn’t just apparitions with Natuzza, even as a child. At her First Holy Communion, her mouth reportedly filled with blood when the wafer symbolizing the body of Christ was placed inside. At her Confirmation, a large stain of blood in the form of a cross formed on the back of her shirt.

Because of Natuzza’s experiences with the paranormal, as a young woman she was closed in an asylum with a diagnosis of "hysterical syndrome" for a few months by the local priest and was not permitted to enter a convent to become a nun.

Natuzza became known for the appearance on her body of blood-coloured images and words around the time of Easter and these caused her great psychological and physical pain. Some of the words were found to be Hebrew and Aramaic which was strange because she could not read or write, even in her native Italian. For decades devout Catholics from Calabria, then the rest of Italy and other parts of the world, began coming to her to ask for advice and prayers and to ask her for information about the souls of their relatives.

In addition to seeing Jesus, Natuzza also claimed to have also seen and communicated with the Virgin Mary, angels, and the dead, particularly souls in purgatory, throughout her life.

Natuzza was also considered a healer, credited with being able to look at a person and tell them what was ailing them, physically — using formal, medical terminology — as well as suggest treatments. She could also see the future and sometimes spoke in languages she didn’t know (remember, again, she was illiterate). In fact, some of her blood stains even transformed into phrases in foreign languages.

However, Natuzza never accepted money for what she did or was accused of participating in anything fraudulent based on her abilities, which, in the eyes and hearts of many, lend credence to her and her followers’ claims.

"It's a question of removing the suggestive religious context from the event. It doesn't allow rational reading since it cloaks it in mythology and unprovable hypotheses," says the Italian Committee for the Checking of Pseudoscientific Claims, or CICAP.

The group believes the so-called stigmata cases are really examples of Gardner-Diamond syndrome, "a skin condition that, although rare, is well documented in medical literature." The syndrome gives rise to a series of periodic, painful and bleeding bruises of unclear origin, combined with psychiatric disorders such as self-harm.

Although she’s relatively unknown internationally, Italians have been fascinated by Natuzza for generations as she has been a popular subject of books and various Italian television programs.

After Natuzza passed away on All Saints’ Day in 2009, about 30,000 people traveled from all over Italy and beyond for her funeral in rural Calabria. One-hundred priests and six Italian bishops were also in attendance.

Any tips on or recommended sources to research about astral projection/travel? :)

Thank you for your time!

Here are a few resources that helped me! Astral Dynamics Astral Travel for Beginners Erin Pavlina

My note: not everyone is going to have a similar experience astral projecting/traveling. For me, it was really hard while others seemed to have it easier.

That being said, there is one element that's helped me in understanding the astral a little better, as well, that I feel isn't talked about as much, and that is that the astral is more of a spectrum than an on and off switch. That's why bilocating is a thing; you're 50% here and 50% in the astral. Dream traveling is closer to projection because you're unconscious here but not necessarily out of body. Your consciousness is what travels, not your astral body, if that makes sense.

if I were to "rate" the spectrum from physical to astral, it would be: - 0%: physical state (those not in tune with anything from the astral, including clairsenses) - 10% clairsenses - 25-30%: remote viewing - 45% mental plane (magic in your headspace) - 50%: bilocating - 75%: dream travel/astral travel - 100%: astral projection

Furthermore, the points before bilocating or whatever else aren't "pre-requisites." You don't have to master remote viewing before astral projection, and you don't have to master being in the mental plane before dream traveling (although, it would help). It's like if someone says you have a "70% chance of rain," it doesn't really have to be 10% raining or 40% raining beforehand; it can just come in thunder-storming. Some people have more of an affinity to dream travel or project than they do with clairsenses, for example.

Basically, there's going to be a lot of information regarding astral travel, methods used, safety precautions, etc., but it's not as daunting as you may think. Exercise safety, of course, but perhaps you are already more in tune with the astral than you think!

On this day:

THE MINISTRY OF MARIA DE AGREDA

On January 18, 1650, the Spanish Inquisition arrived at a Franciscan convent to question Mother Maria de Agreda about her bilocation to the New World thirty years earlier. Armed with an eighty-item questionnaire, they drilled her for ten days about the more than five hundred times that she apparently appeared before the Indians in North and Central America, encouraging them to find missionaries and seek out baptism. At the close of the interrogation, the questioners requested a souvenir and reverently took their leave.

Born in 1602, Maria took religious vows at sixteen. Two years later her ecstasies began. Other nuns would often peek beneath her veil at the luminosity surrounding her when she was in a trance state, or push her levitating form next to the window for outsiders to gaze upon. During her astral travels, Maria noticed passing over the ocean, different kinds of weather, and lightness and darkness. She wrote about her experiences, including seeing the earth as a revolving sphere, but was advised to burn her journal lest she be thought of as a witch.

In 1623, Franciscan priest Alonso de Benavides returned to Spain from New Mexico with stories of Indians claiming to have been taught by a "lady in blue," who was dressed similarly to the picture he had of a nun, but who was younger and more beautiful. She spoke to each of the tribes in their own language, teaching them during the day and disappearing at night. Upon hearing the stories of Maria, he interviewed her, and she reminded him of details of the New World that he had forgotten. When he asked about the rosaries and chalice that the natives used for mass, she said God had allowed her to bring those things to the natives from Spain.

I need to stop doubting myself for when I see things in the astral.

Last night someone approached our house. I go to take a look, he looks a lot like V. I start freaking out because clearly I'm not seeing right, there's no way someone who looks like V is at out house- and there goes my cousin tackling him out of love. Ah. So I was seeing right.

A quick PSA after an argument somewhere the other day.

If you push one species' term or specific umbrella term as a syncretism for all species, get off my blog

AND if you disregard the right to personhood for beings by calling them creatures, animals, beasts, or similar, get off my blog.

I stand for the right to personhood which includes the right to acknowledged individuality and differing natures. I'm an infernal chimera, and should be acknowledged as such, as each type of fae, angels, dragons, infernal and all others do.

We are beings worthy of being respected as people just like humans. If you are specieist I want you out of my fucking sight. This includes specieist towards humans.

Bilocation

Bilocation, a fascinating phenomenon that has captured the imagination of humans for centuries, refers to the alleged ability of an individual to be present in two different locations simultaneously. It is a concept that has been widely discussed in various cultures, religions, and even scientific circles. In this article, we delve into the intriguing world of bilocation, exploring its…

Y'know, I think it'd be funny if there was a clone of Padre Pio in Clone High, and he mentioned that he was gonna be in a Place, but then everyone saw him in a different place, except he never left his house.

It could end up being that he was accidentally Cloned Twice, but I think it'd be funny if he could just do that, since the Original could Bilocate.
