Podcast: Anne Zieglerin & the Lion's Blood - Paul Ferguson - 10-21-2023
In 1573, an alchemist named Anna Zieglerin gave her patron, the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, the recipe for something she called “the lion’s blood” which she claimed could “stimulate the growth of plants, create gemstones, transform lead into the coveted philosophers’ stone—and would serve a critical role in preparing for the Last Days.” And that was not all that it could do. “Anna proposed that the lion’s blood, paired with her own body, could even generate life, repopulating and redeeming the corrupt world in its final moments.”
