Reading "Three Books of Occult Philosophy," in ancient rational feces is the source of life not blood. Thinking about it, feces makes more sense than blood. In fact, how did people decide blood holds human life-force?
By simple scientific observation it is easy to equate fecal matter to life. When a person dies they evacuate their bowels. They also evacuate their bladder; however, piss is not fertilizer, yet fecal matter is excellent fertilizer.
There are several associations to believe feces is life force; except, constipation will kill people. Fecal matter makes plants grow. Myriads of animals are attracted to feces. In addition, people who did not evacuate their bowels came back to life. Scientists say they were not dead. Ancient people did not understand crypt diseases and comas make people appear dead. They did not come back to life. Therefore, they were not dead. Does holding it in have something to do with spontaneous recovery and becoming undead? Perhaps we have everything wrong.
Feces are made from eating food. Meanwhile, there are no indicators for blood contains life force. Blood does not leave the body along with several other organs. Were their maniacal studies; wherein, people observed someone bleeding to death before relieving themselves? Even then, relieving themselves proved death.
We can feel our hearts pumping. Without a heart a person dies; however, removal of most organs has the same effect. Women menstruate without dying. One solution for this realizing blood is life source relates to preparing food. It was believed animals sought vengeance on their murderer by making them ill. Draining blood from animals prevents delusions or death; therefore, animal souls are carried through blood.
People have to prepare food so they do not suffer food poisoning, like trichinosis. Except for the unfortunate Black Plague, after reading the book, I am fairly sure people wanted to keep fecal matter nearby and benefit from its life force. Even after discovering the Black Plaque was carried through ticks associated to rats, they probably decided rodents are attracted to feces and that is why we should clean our homes and bath regularly.
It is wild reading old books and thinking about historical life. A spell to protect a woman's virginity involved soaking linens in fecal matter and remains of a deceased man. Then the linens are wrapped around the virgin. It was amazing how no man would sleep with her. Agrippa died a pauper. I can imagine the argument for denying payment. "He was supposed to help keep her virginity until marriage, not make her completely unable to marry!" I am positive the spell causes infection. If only he knew about caprylic acid, he would have been a wealthy man.
Chapters describe bathing and wearing cleaning clothes as a type of witchery causing "viz." Viz is a special type of energy. Apparently, bathing in fumes of special salts and wearing shiny trinkets enhances likability. They even tested a charm by having a person sit in public with a ring. When the charm was showing, people treated them kindly. When only the band was showing, people ignored them.
It turns out we all practice magic. The whole world is tainted with witchery. Perhaps we are all removing life force attracting rodents into homes and increasing viz so evil spirits are unable to cause harm. This is what the Bible was insinuating by recommending cleaning our homes and bathing. Viz is holy energy.
Though understanding feces is bit life force, I purpose we reconsider everything. Harness life force by running sewers to a giant blender which will infuse water with life force; thereby, growing fruits and vegetables in lots dedicated to one type of edible plant. Life force is relative to the plants need to feed everyone. As population grows or diminishes, we will all have enough life force to attract bugs to break down feces into usable food for plants.
