Some fun facts about St Hildegard of Bingen:

She wrote the first morality play

She also wrote so much music and poetry, much of which you can still listen to online

She had chronic illnesses and chronic pain and might have also had chronic migraines (disabled queen)

She describes humanity as inherently fragile, weak, sickly and dependent on each other and God—in other words, she makes it so that humanity’s inherent default condition is disabled (rather than able bodied/minded as modern society suggests) and THEN she adds on that humanity’s inherent default condition is union with Love itself (God) and with the earth and nature

She wrote medical textbooks of herbal medicines, some of which are still viable

She also has a cookie recipe you can find online that I plan on making soon

She might have been gay, jury’s out on whether her feelings for Richardis were motherly, platonic or romantic, but she fully raised hell when Richardis left the abbey and seems genuinely heartbroken at the loss, and describes Richardis with a lotttt of affection.

characters posters: cadence sinclair (we were liars) 

The realization of what I have done comes as a fog in my chest, cold, dark, and spreading. I grimace and hunch over. The icy fog runs from my chest through my back and up my neck. It shoots through my head and down my spine. Cold, cold, remorse. Maybe I could have found the fire extinguishers and stopped the flames somehow. Maybe, maybe. If only, if only. […] This knowledge goes from my spine down my shoulders and through my fingertips. It turns them to ice. They chip and break, tiny pieces shattering on the Windemere steps. Cracks splinter up my arms and through my shoulders and the front of my neck. My face is frozen and fractured in a witch’s snarl of grief. My throat is closed. I cannot make a sound. Here I am frozen, when I deserve to burn.

I’ve been asked a few times about a labelled Master List of sigils. There are a ton of them, I know, and it’s frustrating to look back and forth between the individual posts where they are labeled. So have this!
