Much Belated Hagging Out

Wormwood is a powerful vermifuge. At least, that’s what they say. Some say that it is a poison that kills the parasites and others suggest that it’s more about cramping so hard you do the expelling manually.

It ejects, it scours, it cleanses. Not so “scorched and salted earth” as some herbs, but it uproots violently and throws [whatever] out in its face. Green Lady isn’t strictly a “wormwood”, though her Southernwood family is known for keeping out pests through their pungent lemon-camphor scent. Magically, however, she shares in that empire of purgation.

I should have expected that doing this Work would have side-effects. 

I did not. Because I’m kinda dumb.

I have told Green Lady’s story before. Over, and over, and over. There’s not much new to say. Our paths are probably too entangled to untangle. When I felt a call to do a specific Work I knew it would be with her. There is no other candidate for this intimate exploration except her. This is like trying a new sex act, or traveling to an unknown country: You do it with someone you trust implicitly, explicitly, and completely.

I’m not going to spell out what The Work is - it’s not quite ready to describe, if it ever is - but it begins with an infusion of plenty of Southernwood into pure grain alcohol. 

I trimmed a ton of her bitter, feathery, bits in the appropriate day and hour (she’s damned near doubled in size since then), and I lovingly air-dried them on the top of my altar, turning daily until they were crispy enough to crumble with my fingertips. And infuse I did. 

What I expected was a slow batch that took days or weeks to darken. What I got was an instantaneous flush of green so intense that it looked like ink. I didn’t realize it was possible for chlorophyll to just… do that. I’ve paid for watercolor paints less intense.

(She won’t let me take a photo, but I want you to imagine a small sample of Moldavite-green liquid in a large vintage glass canning jar.)

In a previous “infusing” Hagging Out, the one where I re-batched my altar oil, I explained how she holds an untarnished moment for me. She’s got a little piece of the parts of me from Before. She kept it for me, the way I kept a bit of her.

It was then that I started this Work without even realizing it. I hadn’t quite kicked the hornet’s nest yet, but I was certainly lining up the punt. I began to kick up the Weird just to see if-… see what-… 

Okay, let’s be brutally honest: To see if I was still me. If the woo was still there. If the connections I’d worked so hard to establish were still alive. I’d been in a fallow period with my practice since my mother died.  I kicked things up to see what was left in the smoking crater. And if the crater was as bad as I thought and, well…

It wasn’t bad at all, really. The crater was me, not around me. The destruction was upstairs, not out there. They had all been patiently waiting for me to perk up. 

But then (because I am me) I went “You know what’d be a great idea? If I didn’t ease back into things at all, and instead walked directly up to the most monumental Work possible, and started a hockey brawl with it.” And then I intentionally, willfully, wantonly, attempted to throw hands with the Numinous. Within a day the synchronicities started to happen. The weird ones. The ones where you can’t be shocked or skeptical you just sort of go “Well, that’s… a thing that happened.” And it kept happening. People I hadn’t thought of or spoken to in literally 20+ years started sliding across my Tumblr dashboard or showing up as moderators on facebook groups being suggested to me. But did I stop? God no, why would I do that?

Buy the ticket and take the ride. And the ride has been intense. Better I avoid toeing up to that topic, honestly.

Since this has been two years in a row of revisiting this particular relationship in this particular way, I’ve decided to enshrine it. Whatever moon is full earliest in June is Green Lady’s Moon. The new moon begins the process of reconnection with the plant world, strengthening of ties, etc. The full moon will be for re-establishing connection with myself and my personal ties in Ritual. And the waning moon… Purgation. Heaving whatever isn't working, and is just "taking" out the door, kicking it in the ass for good measure. 

This entry is heavily redacted. If the tone seems weird that’s because it’s been edited, edited, and edited again.

Raghuvan, teri raah nihare

Chapter 1

co-writing with @dumdaradumdaradum

The carriage came to a halt from the train station, right outside of the Alluri house. The place looked more beautiful than a bride on her wedding, as if the stars were shining in sunlight. As if flowers from Indra’s garden were used to decorate the edges of the house itself. A sweet smoky aroma spread around the house, camphor used to make the air pure for his arrival. For someone who lived alone, Ram’s uncle sure did a lot on Ram’s arrival. Despite the echoes bouncing off the pillars and walls, Ram and his uncle never felt the loneliness- the entire village was their family, and helped Babai to make the place pretty. 

As Ram stepped down the carriage, he was welcomed with a bright face of his uncle and his arms open. Ram hugged the old man, bending down to touch the elderly’s feet. Babai took a good glance at his nephew, taking in the ten years in one sight. 

Ram’s hair was black and soft, curling upwards and bouncing like waves of the ocean, yet his haircut was short and boyish. His height was tall, and he built muscular power like a volcano. But the brown eyes held gravity stronger than earth, pulling you in. His eyelashes longer, reminding one of rivers that flow. Ram’s arms looked like they held power enough to divert the directions of the world, a fire in his heart. Fighting a mighty beast would closely resemble fighting Alluri Ramaraju. Despite the screams of violence in his demeanor, his attire leaned more to dark academia. Suspenders hooked to the trouser loops, a chain with a watch attached in his pocket. His shirt was loose. His pants were checked, even in the 1900's.  

Ram reached in his newly cleaned room, keeping his suitcase down. The jangu after him arrived too, carrying other stuff and waited for Ram’s next instruction. The room was definitely better than his Delhi hostel. It was very spacious, and homely. He looked outside the window, the flowing currents of Ganga visible from his balcony. The sweet music of her waves sent Ram in a salvated state as he peered at the young boys taking a bath nearby and having fun. He remembered his time in Delhi, when often his anxious heart took him near the shore of the Yamuna and he’d sit there, lost in the flowing water. 

Ram’s daydream broke when he heard a sweet voice across one of the small tributaries. He called for the jangu. “Haan anna?” Yes, brother? the jangu said, standing next to Ram. “Wahan kya hai?” What's there? Ram asked, pointing at the glass dome building near the edge of the tributary. “Sita Mahal” the jangu said and Ram was surprised. “Sita Mahal?” he asked, looking back at the building. 

“Haan. Acchi jagah nahi hai, ladkiyan naachti hai wahan. Wahan pe har shanivaar raat ko sirf aadhe ghante ke liye Sita naachti hai, bolte hai ki jaise apsara dekh li ho. Unhi ne Sita Mahal shuru kiya tha, 5 saal pehle. Par bahaut ladkiyo ko unke gharwaale ghar se nikaal dete hai, kyuki woh shaadi nahi karna chahti. Sita unhe apne paas rakh ke kathak aur sangeet padhati hai. Fir bhi, jis tarah ke log wahan ghoomte hai, shareef log nahi jaate wahan.” yes. It’s not a good place, girls dance there. Every Saturday night, Sita dances there for only half an hour and it’s as if you’ve seen a fairy. She built up the place herself, around 5 years ago. But many times, families of young girls disown them for not wanting to get married. Sita gives them shelter and teaches them the art of dance and music. Still, the crowd isn’t good, and definitely not fit for nobles. 

Ram looked at his jangu, squinting. “Tu gaya hai?” Have you been there? ram asked, smirking. His jangu stuttered and Ram laughed, swinging an arm around the young boy. “Aaj raat chalenge hum.” we’ll visit her tonight. 

-

It was about 9 pm when Ram started leaving for the infamous place with the jangu. Before he could even step out of threshold, Babai called for him. “Where are you going so late?” Babai asked, to which Ram turned around and smiled. “Uh, just nearby for a stroll” he lied. Babai was confused, nothing was open this late. He looked at the jangu. “Where are you going?” he asked, sternly. jangu stuttered again “si-sita m-” “SITA MAHAL?” Babai exclaimed, shocked. Ram closed his eyes in frustration. “You do know that us nob-” “us nobles don’t go there i know” Ram finished babai’s sentence. “But Babai, it’s just one night. How doe-” 

“No,” Babai said firmly and walked towards Ram, keeping a hand on his shoulder. “Ramaraju, I know I can’t control your decisions- I don’t have the right to. But this is for our reputation, if you weren’t getting married soon, I would have let you go” Babai said and Ram nodded, soon catching the end of what Babai said. 

“Wait, marriage?” Ram exclaimed and babai smiled. “Yes, I have tied your marriage with a girl from this village only. Her name is Adikavya, and she would be a good match for you.” He said, patting Ram’s back. “But babai, i’ve just come here! I need time to settle-” “Ram, you will change your thoughts once you meet her. She is the prettiest girl in the whole Banaras, and the most cultured. She comes from a family like ours, and she will make a great wife for you. I’ve just let them know that they can send Adikavya here tomorrow to meet you. She has heard a lot about you, and she didn’t say no to the wedding. Now go upstairs and go to sleep, I won’t hear anything from you” Babai completed and left Ram alone in the hall. 

-

“Kaisi dikhti hai woh?” How does she look like?  Ram laid on the bed, the gentle wind and waves from ganga lulling him to relaxation. From the distance, he could hear another gentle voice of sita mahal, where he should have been. 

“Kaun? Sita?” Who? Sita?  his jangu replied, doing something in the corner of the room. 

“Nahi, adikavya” No, Adikavya Ram said, feeling her name on his lips. It wasn’t usual that he came to know a name so auspicious everyday. 

“Bahaut sundar” Ram turned to the jangu now. “Unke baal lambe hai, aur sone ki chudiyaan pehenti hai. Hari ya neeli saari bahaut pehenti hai, kehti hai unhe pasand hai. Woh jab bhi aati hai, unki paayal se pata chal jaata hai. Babai aur mere liye kuch meetha leke aati hai hamesha. Unhe shaastron ke baare mein bhi bahaut pata hai, hamein padhaya bhi tha. Aur unke baalon mein gulaab laga hota hai. Bindi ekdum chamakti hui, aur maangteeka bhi lamba sa. Madhur boli, sabka khayal rakhti hai. Par didi tang bhi bahaut karti hai, ek baar mere kapde geele kar diye the saare! Mujhe toh woh acchi lagti hai, aap kal unse milna, aapko bhi bahaut acchi lagengi” Beautiful. Her hair is long, she wears golden bangles. She wears blue or green saree alot, she says she likes them. Whenever she comes here, the whole house chimes with her anklets. She always brings something for Babai and I. She is very knowledgeable about scriptures and taught us too. And, she always has a rose in her hair tucked. Her bindi shines like the moon, forehead jewelry is very long. Her voice is sweet, and she takes care of everyone. But she is very annoying- once she soaked my clothes in water! I really like her, and when you meet her tomorrow, you will like her too. He finished his little essay on her, turning to now a lost Ram. 

Ram’s mental image for Adikavya was someone so dear, he couldn’t help but keep repeating the name. He fell asleep still thinking about her, Sita's songs in the background luring him to sleep.

2. It refreshes the mind and body.

Pure botanical fragrances, especially essential oils, can give us a wide range of emotional, physical, and emotional benefits. The most refreshing of the oils are the citruses, such as lemon and grapefruit, and the conifer oils such as spruce, pine, and fir.

Refreshment can also come from relaxation and deep rest, assisted by lavender, clary sage, jatamansi, and geranium.

It can come from the spices frequently used in incense-making, such as cloves, cinnamon and camphor. Sweet fragrances are particularly important for refreshment, as the Charaka Samhita of Ayurveda tells us, sweet smells maintain youth, vigor, and give a long life. A rejuvenator, they also increase sensual enjoyment.

[thethirdromana]

Given how relevant it is to the current epoch, I did a bit of reading into treatment of typhus in the 1840s. TL;DR: oh god, poor Marian.

Content warning: discussion of grim historical medical practices.

The Woman in White was written in 1860 and set in 1849-1850, which is right at the beginning of germ theory. It was only widely accepted by the 1880s. All the doctors in the Woman in White most likely believe in miasma theory; they aren't aware that typhus is a bacterial infection.

Mr Dawson prescribes a "saline" treatment. A Short Treatise on Typhus Fever, by George Leith Roupell in 1840, recommends "saline substances" and refers to "their agency in rendering the blood florid, and duly stimulating the heart and other organs." In practice:

Salts are the combination of acids with salifiable bases; those recommended by Huxham, are carbonate of potassa or sesquicarbonate of ammonia with lemon juice and nitrate of potassa

I don't really have enough medical knowledge to judge but this doesn't seem obviously harmful? Or even if it is... not compared with some of the alternatives below.

The History, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Typhoid and of Typhus Fever by Elisha Bartlett in 1842 runs through the treatments available.

Dr Jackson of Boston suggests complete bedrest, an emetic and enema, and if "vomiting and purging" aren't followed by great relief, bloodletting. Tartarised antimony (a strong emetic) should be given every two hours in increasing doses and the bowels kept open. If the patient has diarrhoea, they should be given opium. However, if the patient has advanced to the second week of the disease, none of this will be effective. Food should be very limited and bland.

Dr Nathan Smith thinks no treatment should be given if the disease seems to be running its course naturally. (Phew). There should be bloodletting of up to half a litre of blood only in severe cases of uncommon pain in the head. He would also recommend emetics only in cases of nausea and only the use of gentle laxatives. Mercury shouldn't be used. However, the most effective thing is to uncover the patient's body and sprinkle it with pure, cold water.

Chomel in Paris mostly favours refreshing drinks, emollients, sponging the body with vinegar or water, "mucilaginous injections" several times per day, and moderate bleeding at the onset of fever. In cases of severe pain, he suggests leeches. But if the disease is severe or inflammatory, the patient should not be allowed any food (even in liquid form) and there should be more bleeding and more leeches. He also suggests "cinchona, wine, camphor and ether", thinking that cinchona is better than quinine.

(I think this suggests that Fosco is right about experts recommending "brandy, wine, ammonia and quinine".)

Louis says much the same as some of the others. He doesn't think bloodletting is particularly effective but recommends up to half a litre "once or twice" anyway. He is in favour of quinine.

Bouillard is also in favour of bloodletting:

The number of his bleedings varies from one to five or six, of from twelve to sixteen ounces each; and nearly or quite an equal quantity of blood is taken from the patient by means of leeches or cups.

Unless "ounces" means something wildly different here (and the British fluid ounce, US fluid ounce, and ounce of blood by weight aren't that different), this means a maximum blood loss of 96 ounces or... 2.8 litres?? That's about what was taken from Byron when he died, and in all likelihood it contributed to killing him.

All this leaves me with no idea what message we're supposed to take from this chapter. Mr Dawson's approach does seem to be old-fashioned compared with what Fosco proposes. Some contemporary doctors would agree with the new physician, but others would think him dangerously hands-off. Maybe we're just not supposed to know what the correct approach is.

But from the perspective of medical knowledge that there's no way Wilkie Collins could have had, Marian is lucky to be alive.
