The Plague Doctor

The Plague Doctor




Michel de Nostredame, known as Nostradamus, was a renowned plague doctor during Black Death Years, who’s visions were ahead of his time. The costume of the Plague Doctor was used to terrify people. A person dressed as the Plague Doctor was an unmistakable sign of imminent death. The first epidemic of the plague dates back to the 6th century. Breaking out in Eastern Roman Empire under Emperor Justinian’s rule. The emperor died of the plague himself, and the epidemic became known as Plague of Justinian. The largest epidemic of the deadly disease, the Black Death took place between 1348-1351, arrived in Europe from the East. The plague was spread all over Europe very quickly with the help of medieval ships and their rat infestations.

The costume of the Plague Doctor appeared, doctors were supposed to wear these costumes when visiting plague patients. The mask is in the shape of a birds beak, and the leather hat was supposed to make a person look like an Egyptian divinity to scare off the disease. The beak however, was actually a protective device to save the doctor from the unbearable infected stench. The beak was filled with medical herbs to ease the breathing process. The doctor would also wear a long waxed raincoat and leather or thick fabric clothes to help avoid bites from the flea’s and physical contact.

There is also evidence that there is a connection between the Black Death and the end of the world 2012. There was a prediction by Nostradamus that does seem to give proof to many people who combine his predictions with the 2012 date. Some of those predictions included World War III, the coming of the Antichrist and several natural disasters. He predicted the 2012 doomsday to begin with several natural disasters. Also, the prediction of a planet hitting Earth. There is a planet named X, but Nostradamus did not name it. Experts have found that there is a planet heading near the Earth. Nostradamus also predicted a disastrous war for December 21st, 2012.

In relation to all of this we have a movement of people currently on a revolutionary journey to change our world for the better. Connecting to the awakening of people in the last few years. Specifically connected to the “death” of Michael Jackson. Some believe he “died” in order to bring awareness and awakening to the masses. So that upon his rising from the dead will signify that a deeper message needs to be received in order for the people to change before it is to late to save our world.

Behind the mask: the plague doctor

 It is an image that many recognize but most know nothing about. The plague mask—with its elongated beak and dark, soulless eyes—has been replicated in costume shops around the world [see left]. Indeed, so prevalent are these masks at parties and balls, one might be tempted to think it is a design entirely imagined by Italian mask-makers for the Venetian Carnival. But where did this mask originate and what purpose did it serve during plague outbreaks?

A plague doctor would have worn a beak doctor costume in his role as a specialized doctor. He was known then as a “Beak Doctor”. The protective suit consisted of a heavy fabric overcoat that was waxed, a mask of glassed eye openings and a cone shaped like a beak to hold scented substances. Some of the scented materials were amber, balm-mint leaves, camphor, cloves, laudanum, myrrh, rose petals, and storax.A wooden cane pointer was used to help examine the patient without touching. 

A wide-brimmed black hat worn close to the head. At the time, a wide-brimmed black hat would have been identified a person as a doctor, much the same as how nowadays a hat may identify chefs, soldiers, and workers. The wide-brimmed hat may have also been used as partial shielding from infection. 

A primitive gas mask in the shape of a bird’s beak. A common belief at the time was that the plague was spread by birds. There may have been a belief that by dressing in a bird-like mask, the wearer could draw the plague away from the patient and onto the garment the plague doctor wore. The mask also included red glass eyepieces, which were thought to make the wearer impervious to evil. The beak of the mask was often filled with strongly aromatic herbs and spices to overpower the miasmas or “bad air” which was also thought to carry the plague. At the very least, it may have dulled the smell of unburied corpses, sputum, and ruptured bouboules in plague victims. 

A long, black overcoat. The overcoat worn by the plague doctor was tucked in behind the beak mask at the neckline to minimize skin exposure. It extended to the feet, and was often coated head to toe in suet or wax. A coating of suet may have been used with the thought that the plague could be drawn away from the flesh of the infected victim and either trapped by the suet, or repelled by the wax. The coating of wax likely served as protection against respiratory droplet contamination, but it was not known at the time if coughing carried the plague. It was likely that the overcoat was waxed to simply prevent sputum or other bodily fluids from clinging to it

A wooden cane. The cane was used to both direct family members to move the patient, other individuals nearby, and possibly to examine patients without directly touching them

It is not known how often or widespread plague doctors were, or how effective they were in treatment of the disease. It is likely that while the plague doctor's clothing offered some protection to the wearer, the plague doctors themselves may have actually contributed more to the spreading of the disease than its treatment,in that the plague doctor unknowingly served as a vector for infected fleas to move from host to host
Plague doctors could not generally interact with the general public because of the nature of their business and the possiblility of spreading the disease

What's Beyonce really saying?

Beyonce performed many songs and had different clothes on at this night, but this white dress made think and the song she performed was "End of Time"
 
 
 
Three pyramids like in Egypt.
King Tuthankhamun died at young age and there are rumors he was assassinated by a blow to his head. Other rumors say he died from diseases. He was buried in a tomb to small for his status (The golden coffin of Michael Jackson is told to be to small for him). King Tuthankhamun is also rumored to have used a mask because of his face disease.
The pyramid can also be the symbol of illuminati
 
 
 
Beyonce have a symbol on her dress. It can be a sunflower and it can be the symbol of Maya. A third possibility is that it is a sun.
Beyonce is dressed like an ancient Godess and below we see the picture of a statue on stage. It is Anubis - the protector of dead and enbalming!
The dress Beyonce is wearing reminds of the dress Madonna had at the superbowl 2012:

Labyrinth of love and hope

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Why are you beset with gloom?
love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls
It is sunrise, with Hope
I cling to expectations, until
darkness comes to reclaim me
Now if you listen closely
I'll tell you what I know
'Cause nobody, But nobody
Can make it out here alone
unasked and unheeded upon the ghosted land
Each day is exploding brightly
Under the gaze Of dead masters I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
the caged bird sings of freedom
please take each others hands and let's come together
and let's deal with each other with love
Let us come together and revise our spirits,
Let us come together and cleanse our souls
let's leave the preening
And stop impostering our own history
despite the history of pain
We are a going-on people
I will rise again

Deep Inside


Deep in the recesses of my mind
There is a collaboration of time
Where only I can find
The mountains I have to climb
Hidden far away for others to see
Because others cannot assist
I am the only one..just me
Though it is with them I co-exist
They sit alongside me always
Without the ability to know
The darkness that exists in the hallways
No matter how much light I show
I master all of my thoughts
Into one little box
As my stomach turns into knots
As the time ticks away on the clocks
The sooner I concur what I must
I will unravel the mystery
And sweep away the dust
Revealing my life history
With love and support
I can make a new start
I will no longer fall short
Or suffer of a bleeding heart
You need not know what is wrong
Just always be there
With you I can be strong
But beware
If you look inside
The truth you will see
You will find the old me that died
But then you will see the real me.
