Powder of Sympathy

About Me



Powder of Sympathy was a remedy that by its application to a weapon, which had caused a wound, was supposed to cure or heal the injury. This method was in vogue during the reigns of James I. and Charles I., and its chief exponent was Sir Kenelm Digby. This art has been taken seriously by some authors, "If the person be wounded by any chance, he applies the salve, not to the wound, but, what is more effectual to the weapon by which he received it." It was ultimately a form of sympathetic magic.
