FOUR THIEVES WINE -- FOUR THIEVES VINEGAR
This formula dates from the fifteenth century, when it was developed as a healing formula.
As an inoculation against epidemic diseases it actually works. Its use in magic came about
much later, as with many other substances it became useful in the magical arts.
While the Bubonic plague raged through southern France in the 1450s the number of bodies
so overwhelmed the grave diggers that they called upon the municipal authorities for assistance.
Four thieves who had been jailed together were released on the condition that they assist in
burying the dead. They agreed, and served so well at their gruesome task that they were later
pardoned on the condition that they left town.
One of the magistrates asked them how they had managed to appear to remain so healthy,
even though they have been burying those who had did of the plague.
They told him the secret of the four thieves vinegar, which was made from
bottles of cheep wine, which begins to turn to vinegar in a few days if left opened.
They filled the wine bottles with garlic, and allowed it to stand for a while, and then drank a
wineglass (2 Oz) with every meal. They continued this for a bit over the three or four months
that they had been engaged in burying the dead.
Four Thieves Vinegar is made in the following way:
Burgundy (red) wine is divided between two bottles, and both bottles
are filled with peeled, and occasionally crushed, garlic cloves.
The bottles are placed in the refrigerator or spring house for a week.
Then two ounces of the wine (possibly on the way to becoming vinegar) are taken twice or
three times a day. During the 1917 flu epidemic my grandfather used it on all his family,
beginning as soon as he heard of the epidemic. None of the family became ill, although
the neighbors on both sides of them had deaths in their families. In magic it is used for
getting rid of people. It works there as well. put about two ounces in a bath, soaking
for about five minutes in the tub. It has a variety of other uses, in both magic and healing, as well.
