Joseph Szimhart | Doctrine of Signatures, Biosphere 2, cave art, and the “Pa” cult. @josephszimhart9431 | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The Doctrine of Signatures or magical correspondences or sympathetic magic has informed the way humans think, heal, and experience the environment since prehistoric times. Simply put, if a flower looks like an eye, use it to make a tincture for eye disease. Use liverwort, with liver shaped leaves, to treat the liver. Yes, it is not only fake medicine, it can kill you.
I look at the emergence of prehistoric cave art, the Biosphere 2 “cult” debacle in the early 1990s, and a small cult run by Fred Saylor or “Pa” decades ago. Saylor used the Doctrine of Signatures to peddle bogus remedies internationally.
