My Favourite Mystic 30: Lydia Walker on Marie of Oignies
Manage episode 324208486 series 3238810
CW: Mentions of SA, self-mutilation, and removing teeth from a corpse
This week AJ Langley speaks to Lydia Walker (@LydiaMWalker) about Marie of Oignies (c. 1177-1213), a devout religious woman whose dedication to God earned her two hagiographers, Jacques de Vitry and Thomas of Cantimpré. We talk about the difference between the life she led and the priorities of her hagiographers, the discussion of "crusades" in her work, her vita as an exempla, and the bodily autonomy of (prospective) saints.
