Theologians worried that supposedly mystical women's physiological and mental frailties made them all too likely to be ruled by carnal desires and melancholic natures. Jean Chéron wrote in his Examen de la théologie mystique of 1657 that the majority of mystics were actually poor creatures suffering from melancholy. They were mostly women, he said, because women were morally and physically weak, and had a propensity to be moved by their passions. Even when determined to be authentic, mystics were thought to embody a particularly feminine paradox of power within weakness: they were ignorant of much human teaching but taught by God. In attributing their teachings directly to a divine source without human intermediary, women mystics entered into another paradox: their claims to mysticism liberated them from many of the hierarchical structures of the church, but placed their words under the surveillance and control of male directors. Many of these directors were especially concerned with how to know if mystical women were experiencing visions of saints or communication with demons.

I was wondering if your Lamb can climb walls like mountain goats? Would come in handy when prying on his followers. Or giving Nari a heart attack!

My Lamb can't but with help they would try to get past Mystic Seller, and instantly fail to no ones surprise
