Aqua traya

it takes a special type of poison to kill a Jedi

slow-acting, with a cumulative effect over multiple doses such that the warning from the Force about any single dose is easily missed

no one was quite sure what was causing a series of nat-born officers to sicken and die without any of the traditional signs of contagion

and then it started to effect some of the Jedi too, and no one was sure what was happening

and then the Chancellor died, and the war quickly fell apart, leaving the Jedi and Judicial investigators with much more pressingt problems to address

years later it came to light that a disillusioned clone sergeant by the name of Slick had made a deal with Asajj Ventress to buy the recipe of an old Sith poison, and had been selling the product to clones serving under ill-suited or prejudiced officers, which had eventually included one Commander Fox of the Coruscant Guard who had made his case to the sergeant personally

One of my favourite historical figures is Giulia Tofana, an Italian cosmetologist that was famous for producing a poisonous cosmetic known as "Aqua di Tofana" to help woman getting rid of their abusive husbands.

She helped over 600 woman.

GIULIA TOFANA // POISONER

“She was an Italian professional poisoner. She was famous for selling poison to women who wanted to murder their abusive husbands. Her mother was also a poisoner and was executed for poisoning with Aqua Tofano that she created herself and her daughter continued to use. Her involvement was not confirmed however it was suspected by authorities.”

Giulia Tofana was born in Palermo in the year 1620. Her mother was the infamous Thofania d'Amado, who was executed for murdering her own husband in 1633. It's been rumored that d'Amado passed down the recipe for her best-performing poison to her daughter, but even if that wasn't the case, Giulia herself was skilled in brewing all kinds of tinctures.

She moved from Sicily to Naples to Rome, expanding her black-market trade. Harboring a soft spot for women trapped in loveless, suffocating relationships, she started selling toxins to help them escape. With the help of her daughter, a group of trusted associates, and possibly a priest, Giulia launched an underground ring of criminals from her apothecary shop. To those not in the know, her business was cosmetics. She sold powders and liquids to enhance women's beauty.That front made it easier to disguise her best-selling product: Aqua Tofana.

Aqua Tofana was a coveted face cream or oil used by Italian ladies looking to preserve their youth… or procure a status of widowhood. It came in a bottle or a powder case often labeled as "Manna of St Nicholas of Bari," a popular healing ointment for blemishes. Made of a mixture of lead, arsenic, and belladonna, Aqua Tofana contained some of the same ingredients as normal cosmetics at the time, which helped it to blend in on a woman's nightstand or vanity. Husbands were none the wiser that their wife's beauty regimen was their death warrant.

Giulia was beloved by the people, especially the women, both powerful and poor, who she helped. She got word of her warrant before the authorities came knocking and was granted sanctuary by a local church until a rumor began to spread that she had poisoned the city's water supply and the government took action, apprehending her and subjecting her to horrific torture.

Giulia confessed to killing over 600 men from 1633-1651 in Rome alone, though that number could be lower given that her confession came under duress. It's believed that Tofana was executed in Campo de' Fiori in Rome in 1659, along with her daughter and a few of her most reliable associates.

A sketch of what the original Aqua Tofana bottle most likely looked like when Giulia Tofana was distributing them in 17th century Sicily. All of her poison bottles were disguised as something innocuous, such as this one labeled as a Saint's oil. This poison induced severe flu-like symptoms such as dehydration, vomiting, and upset stomach so that the death appeared to be from natural causes. It was odorless, colorless, and tasteless, so the victim would have no way of knowing if they ingested it. In just four doses ingested over a period of a few months, the victim's health would mysteriously decline, giving them time to get their affairs in order for their families and repent of their sins before finally dying.

Idc, cringe is dead. I have a Clone High oc based off Giulia Tofana. She's very bubbly and absolutely poisoned her ex-boyfriends.

Eyyyyyy new larp character!!!!

Mute Plague Doctor called Aqua tofana (after the poison).

It’s gonna be great because I won’t have to talk or do facial expressions. I’ll have to see if it works with the proper game dynamics but that’s the concept and I’m really excited to play it. Is the concept gothi but slightly to the left. Maybe.

Also I love making mood boards for my oc’s but not my photos not my art ✨

Ps. In three weeks I get to play Gothi in a proper game for the first time. I’m so excited!!!

To Aqua Tofana

I wouldn’t have expected them to ask why I did it.

I wouldn’t have expected them to... inquire 

about the circumstances behind his death.

I hid it well.

Played the part of bereaved widow

wailing and fainting atop his coffin at the funeral

pushing away comforting arms

like a woman possessed,

Without them ever knowing about the Giulia Tofana within.

I watched them pile the dirt on top of his rancid flesh

And I cried, an Oscar-worthy performance.

All while hiding the glee I felt inside

at the fact that he would never again

dictate my life.

No, they would never ask about my husband again.

They would walk on eggshells around me

afraid to even say his name for fear of...

triggering a nervous breakdown.

On the way back from the funeral,

I laughed knowing all that he had and worked for

was now mine.

If your area has a farmers' market, then one of the best ways to connect with the land is to go there and buy locally made honey. Ingesting local honey helps acclimate your body to the local flora and can therefore decrease the severity of seasonal allergies. This is also an opportunity to form relationships with your community's makers and growers.

My body reacts badly to cotton, and I live in an area surrounded by fields of the stuff, so I always go to the stall with a man who sells cotton honey. I started taking honey in my morning coffee around four years ago, and while it did take a few months, I did start to see a difference in my allergies.

Honey has been renowned since ancient times as a powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial treatment as well. It is one of the essentials I always keep stocked in my personal apothecary.
