#HildegardOfBingen: "Divinity is in its omniscience & omnipotence like a wheel...a whole that can neither be understood, nor divided, nor begun nor ended...God hugs you. You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God." bit.ly/453ossb
#HildegardOfBingen 's #Antichrist painting shows 5 vices behind chaos & destructn: 1) ppl biting at their own condition (voting agst their interests); 2) ppl choosing war; 3) ppl eager for luxury living; 4) rulers creating sadness & uncleanness in self & others; 5) ppl robbing others. bit.ly/4csjUhz
#HildegardOfBingen: "Who is the Trinity? You are music. You are life. You are alive in everything, and yet you are unknown to us....God says: I am the supreme fire; not deadly, but rather, enkindl[ing] every spark of life."
How would you listen for the song of God? bit.ly/453ossb
#HildegardOfBingen: "I, the fiery life of divine wisdom, I ignite the beauty of the plains, I sparkle the waters, I burn in the sun, & the moon, & the stars. With wisdom I order all rightly. Above all, I determine truth." #Wisdom ignites all & honors the Whole, not just the parts. bit.ly/453ossb
#HildegardofBingen: "Holy Spirit, you are the mighty way in which everything that is in the heavens, on the earth, & under the earth, is penetrated w/ connectedness, is penetrated w/ relatedness." bit.ly/453ossb
#HildegardofBingen: "God has gifted creation w/ everything that is necessary...Nothing necessary for life is lacking."
Life is what matters. All else is detail. W/in the gift of life is our creativity & imagination to overcome adversity, to forge new directions & relationships. bit.ly/453ossb

In this picture the heavenly choirs are arranged in nine concentric rings around an empty circle in the middle. The outer two are visibly angelic with wings and a human type face. In the inner rings some show faces but are less distinct. The rings differ in colour from fiery orange and red to pale and then dark blue. For a full description of Hildegard's vision see her own words in Scivias Book One, Vision Six.
On the feast of St Michael & All Angels, here's the celestial hierarchy from Hildegard of Bingen's Scivias. "And all these armies were singing with marvellous voices all kinds of music about the wonders that God works in blessed souls, and by this God was magnificently glorified."

Eurostar train at Brussels Midi station
Outside of German ICE train with quiet coach sign. This is an outline of a person head with a finger to their lips and the word Psst
Inside of a German regional express train. This is a low floor section with huge windows. Through the window is a view of the Rhein with a rocky outcrop on the far bank. This compartment has fold down seats and can accommodate up to twelve bicycles. One bike can be seen in the picture.
Night time view from hotel bedroom. In the foreground is on the left a large dark tree. On the right is a grey building with some windows lit up. Above the town can be seen a castle, Burg Klopp, which is illuminated and stands out against the dark sky.
Arrived safely in Bingen am Rhein where I am spending a few days on the trail of #HildegardofBingen By train from St Pancras via Brussels, Cologne and Koblenz. My room doesn't face the river but I have a good view of the Burg Klopp above the town.

Happy Feast Day of Saint Hildegard of Bingen! She was one of the most inspiring women to me when I started my journey as an herbalist 30 some odd years ago. Now that I’m older, her wisdom brings solace in difficult times. #hildegardofbingen #herbalist #healing #doctorofthechurch #femalesaint

This illustration, a later (C20th?) copy of a C12th artwork, has a distinct circular or "mandala" shape, superimposed over a narrow vertical gold rectangle with a decorative border in mostly white. It depicts the nine choirs of angels in concentric circles around a pale void, symbolizing spiritual hierarchy and harmony within the universe. resembling a Eucharistic Host. They are like concentric ripples in a pond, with faces of red, white and green.

Picture from the facsimile of the lost Rupertsberg Codex. This shows Hildegard, dressed in a nun's habit, sitting within the arch of a building. She is writing with a stylus on a wax tablet. Tongues of flame representing the Holy Spirit descend upon her head and face. To the right of the arch, looking in through a window, is Hildegard's secretary, the monk Volmar, clutching a book.
Happy Hildegard of Bingen day to all who take her as an inspiration. Polymath, visionary, prophet, composer, writer on nature and medicine, advocate of measure, balance and wholeness, her voice is needed now more than ever in our fractured world #HildegardofBingen
