#Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper & Col-o-ring #FountainPen Jinhao 80 - dk. green, EF #ink Diamine Three Kings Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: ‘The Meditrinalia was a festival for tasting the new wine, which was, in effect, grape juice. There seems to be a medicinal component behind the practice of mixing old wine with the new, and the name for the festival, according to Varro, came from the verb mederi, to heal. Although it could have been named for Meditrina, a forgotten goddess without a temple in Rome, or for the place of the ceremony, the wine press. The day was also devoted to Jupiter, as the ruling deity. To honor the day in a way somewhat related to the Roman fashion, mix a glass half and half with grape juice and wine. If you’d like to pour a libation to Jupiter before tasting it, have a bowl or receptacle on your shrine or altar, and pour a little more than half into it. You can recite or read Orphic Hymn XV, To Jupiter, if you would like. Then, drink the remaining mixture with these words from Varro: “Novum vetus vinum bibo, novo veteri morbo medeor.” Or, in English: “Wine new and old I drink, of illness new and old I’m cured.” If you don’t truck with Jupiter, this is also the day honoring the Wine Press in the French Republican calendar. You can instead pour your libations out for the small gods or spirits of the vine and for those who harvest the grapes and make the wine. Walt Whitman’s poem “The Return of the Heroes” from Leaves of Grass would be an excellent accompaniment, or you can choose another poem or song to honor this gift. And if you don’t drink alcohol at all, you can simply honor the grapes and the last harvests of the year with grape juice and water.’ — Victoria Raschke, A Witch’s Book of Days, 2026. Below the text is a card with a digital collage of a roost of crows in a tree; a dark green fountain pen; a swatch of dark gold ink; and a small square bottle of same.

Meditrinalia. Taste the new wine against the old, say the old healing words. That is a version compare, not a tasting menu for the feed. Old vs new, one sip each, notes in the book. Rome had diff tooling. It came in cups. Old or new: which do you trust?

#otd #Meditrinalia was celebrated in honour of the new #vintage. Romans drank a mix of new & old wine believing it to promote good health. At #Trimontium, vessels were found that would have held wine, a staple in the fort diet.

#Notebook Chronicle Go-To w/ Mohawk paper, dotted & Col-o-ring swatch booklet #FountainPen Sailor hocoro - grey, F #30inks30days Diamine Bah Humbug Open notebook with handwritten text from the post at the top of the page with additional text: “A country name for the aspen is the Shivver-tree, a name which in some districts is also given to the poplar. The leaves of both trees tremble at the slightest stirring of air, so that they seem to move without ceasing when all around is still. Because of this, both trees were formerly credited with the power to cure agues and fevers. A very old magical tradition held that ailments could most efficaciously be treated by something that resembled their effects; and since ague causes the patient to shake and tremble, he was likely to be healed by the shaking tree. In his Folk-Lore of the Northern Counties, William Henderson relates the story of a Lincolnshire girl who was thus cured of ague. She was advised to pin a lock of her hair to an aspen, saying as she did so, ‘Aspen-tree, aspen-tree, I prithee to shake and shiver instead of me.’ As was usual in such charms, her journey home had then to be made in complete silence, otherwise the magic would not work. She followed the advice given, and many years later, when she was an old woman, she told Henderson’s informant that she had never been troubled with ague again. Another method was to bore a small hole in the tree-trunk, insert the patient’s nail-parings, and close the hole securely. As the bark grew once more over the opening, so the disease would disappear.” — Christina Hole, ed, Encyclopedia of Superstitions, (1961), 1974.

Sejas Deus sejas Deusa, Tu que tens a tutela da Meditrinalia, tal como é correto oferecer-Te uma libação com vinho novo e antigo, em nome disto serás honrada por esta oferenda de vinho novo e antigo.

Happy Kalends of #October! 🍂 Named for octo (“8”), it was the 8th month in Rome’s earliest 10-month calendar. Protected by #Mars, it marked the end of military & farming seasons & hosted many festivals: Mundus Patet, Meditrinalia, Augustalia, & games like the Ludi Capitolini & Ludi Victoriae Sullae.
