Strange ‘Men’ Among the Oats
Strange ‘Men’ Among the Oats
For more high strange visit www.churchofmabusradio.com
In the year 1559. In Marchia (within Wales) fell out a very strange thing, which many of great account and credit did affirm truly so to happen. In harvest time, on a sudden appeared some men in the fields, at first fifteen, at last twelve, all of an unwonted magnitude and an odious shape, both first and last were without heads. All these having siccles did on a cluster reap down the Oats, that the hone of the Iron was easily heard, yet all this while no Oats were cut. Immediately the report of this marvellous sight came to the Court, and many, both of the Courtiers and Citizens went forth, and were eyewitnesses of this miraculous Vision. Many also going nearer to them, aske of them who they were and what would they have? To which they made no reply, but fel stoutly to their work which had begun. Some also did dare to lay hands upon them, and to hold them, but they quickly escaped out of their hand. Whereupon it evidently appeared to all that there were then present, that they were Spirits. That Illustrious Prince of Marchia having convocated many of his most eminent Divines, desire to know of them what they though of this strange prodigy: Most of them were of opinion, that it was the omen of an ensuing Plague.

Those large-scale agri-farms that look nothing like the pastoral quiet images we associate with our food use a delayed drying processes, which cause the mold, giving oats a darker color and less authentic taste. Marketing efforts by some oat companies have even trained American consumers to associate healthy oats with a darker color, when in fact, the lighter and whiter the color of the oat, the less likely that it has been exposed to a fungus. Scandinavian farmers know this, and they adhere to strict drying methods that ensure oats are properly dried to avoid any introduction of molds or fungus.
corn fields, hm.
Similar to nuts, oats actually contain oil (the good kind, of course!), which makes oats at risk for mold, and they can turn rancid if not harvested and dried correctly, which is especially common with U.S. and Canadian grown oats.

Convulsive ergotism is characterized by nervous dysfunction, where the victim is twisting and contorting their body in pain, trembling and shaking, and wryneck, a more or less fixed twisting of the neck, which seems to simulate convulsions or fits. In some cases, this is accompanied by muscle spasms, confusions, delusions and hallucinations, as well as a number of other symptoms.
