Stigmata: Hemography

Stigmata: Hemography

For those of you paying attention during our stigmata series, you may remember the word Hemography being briefly described in the short profile on Natuzzo Evolvo and her Stigmata case.

Hemography whilst being associated closely to the Stigmata, is not solely associated with it, but is a paranormal phenomenon all of its own, although it remains one of the lesser known phenomena because it does not receive the same media attention as say, UFO, Hauntings or Near Death experiences, it is still a subject that can be studied by paranormal investigators and scientists alike to try and ascertain its validity as a real and actual event.

So what exactly is Hemography I hear you ask? Well, to put it simply, it is the formation of letters or symbols on walls, cloth, bandages etc, with human blood, done from an unknown or supernatural force.

With Natuzzo Evolvo it involved the bandages that wrapped the wounds of her stigmata, when taken off her wounds the bloodstains would form hieroglyphs of Christian symbols of Jesus, the rosary or other Catholic religious symbolism.

In other documented cases words have been written in blood, in one long string of documented events the words “God is Nowhere” was seen to be written in blood, but more recently this phrase has changed to “God is Now Here”, but who the writer is, none of the people investigating is really sure, but what they do know is that humans are not the ones writing the phrases, it seems to come from an unseen supernatural force, maybe even multiple forces, if they are good, evil or neutral is also unknown.

Hemography is still a relatively unknown phenomenon, and as such has had little or no research done upon it, it has had some exposure through the Television show “supernatural” in recent years, but many people believe it to be a fictional, “made up for television phenomena”, rather than something that is very real in the physical world.

Maybe this article has sparked your interest and you might like to look a little deeper into the phenomena, as per usual with all our Eidolon Paranormal post, we encourage that you investigate for yourself, below is a couple of links to get you started

Below are links to a few case file studies on the phenomena

Stigmata: Heather Woods

Stigmata of Heather Woods

A remarkable case of Stigmata is that of Heather Woods, why is it so remarkable?

Because this is one of the best-documented cases of The Stigmata in modern, if not all times.

Researchers John and Anne Spencer have put a great deal of their own and time and money into documenting Heather's particular case.

The couple's study has seen them live for three days with Heather as well as accumulate 12 hours of videotaped interviews, over 130, 000 words of dictated memories, access to all of Heather's private diaries where she had written about messages from God, her pain and other writings about her stigmata, as well as having access to all of Heather's writings that she claims are channelled messages from God.

Heather came from a background of child abuse, she was removed from her parents at a very young age, and subsequently abused by her carers, this led the researchers not to trust her psychological health as many people who suffer such trauma at an early age have psychological issues in their adulthood.

Abandonment issues often show themselves in ones adult lives as attention-seeking behaviours, of which Stigmata would certainly fit the bill.

Heather would fall into trance-like states, and begin writing at incredible speeds and drawing pictures of her visions, at the same time her stigmata would appear. She believed wholeheartedly that her writings and vision were given to her by God.

Her writings read like sermons and her pictures would always be of Jesus either being baptised or being crucified.

Heather stated that when she had the Stigmata she felt like she was “inside Christ” upon the cross, and felt herself with him at many times throughout Jesus life in the biblical times. She also felt herself with John the Baptist, she described it as 'It was as if I was there. I could see the water dripping from him, sparkling in the sunlight.'

Unfortunately by the time Heather was 44 she had been in and out of surgery for various organ failures and had most removed, she also suffered from cancer, and her body was a wreck, but she still maintained a sense of dignity, and some witness claim, “holiness” about her in her meetings with people and interviews with the media.

Heather was featured in a 1994 Easter documentary in the USA and is also the subject of at least two books.

Stigmata: Natuzza Evolo

The Stigmata of Natuzza Evolo

Studied by doctors, scientists and the Catholic clergy, the stigmata of Natuzza Evolo has fascinated investigators for many years.
 Natuzza not only has stigmata, but her blood and sweat have been seen to deliver another supernatural phenomenon, that of Hemography. Hemography is the belief that the blood, sweat and tears of stigmatic people can create religious symbols and words upon cloth or clothing

Natuzza was born in Paravati, Italy, before she was born her father fled to Argentina, and was never heard of again, Her Mother, Maria, had to take on many different jobs to feed and house her family, and as soon as Natuzza was of age, she too had to work, because of this, she was never schooled and never learnt to read and write.

It is said, even at this early age, Natuzza had visions of Lord Jesus and of Our Lady, The Virgin Mary.

In 1944 she met and married Pasquale Nicole, and together they had five children.

A book has been written about the life of Natuzza by Professor Valerio Marinelli, in the book her early life is recorded, as are her visions, and a lot of interviews are conducted with people who honestly believe they were healed by Natuzza after she prayed for them.

Natuzza became famous after blood coloured images and words appeared on her body around Easter, some of the words were found to be Hebrew and Aramaic, both languages far from the understanding of this humble uneducated Italian woman.

Natuzza felt incredible physical pain when the images and words would appear,  which no drug could relieve either pain. 

For decades after her stigmata were revealed, pilgrims would descend on Calabria, at the southern tip of Italy, and ask her for advice and prayers, offers of hope, and intercession for the souls of their dead relatives.

In May 1987, with permission of Monsignor Domenico Cortese, the Bishop of Mileto-Nicotera-Tropea, Natuzza founded an association named "Fondazione Cuore Immacolato di Maria Rifugio Delle Anime" ("Immaculate Heart of Mary, Refuge of Souls Foundation.") The Foundation was later formally approved by the Bishop. 

Natuzza died on Sunday the first of November 2009 of Renal failure, Church Bells rang out at her death (allowed by the Parish Priest) and thousands of Catholics came to pay their respects, from this a cult has risen and it is expected the beatification process will begin very soon.
