Text
kind of obsessed with the conlang invented by 12th century composer and mystic hildegard von bingen. she called it lingua ignota and just sort of never explained why it exists or what it’s for? like. girl. why did you do this
in case you're wondering what was up with her, like, in general, she was an abbess who was (1) politically influential, (2) chronically ill, and (3) plagued by visions.
but like seriously girl WHAT was the conlang for. TELL ME

I am a person who has neither the strength nor the pride of a lion. I am soft like a fragile rib, but I have been filled with a secret inspiration.

she was a nun and a scientist and a musician and poet and invented her own language and alphabet. which i think is pretty neat.

This lil guy is a Hildegard von Bingen quote, I was to include a variety of quite a few flowers!
For anyone curious, something of this detail level would go for around $120-150 CAD

We cannot live in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening. To use our own voice. To see our own light.
— Hildegard von Bingen, from ‘Selected Writings’ (Penguin Classics; November 1, 2001) (via Alive on All Channels)

“Still, musical personalities began to emerge in this period, and Hildegard was one of the first to exhibit a recognizable voice. The contradiction that she represents—a woman presiding over the earliest stages of the male-dominated Western canon—has had a galvanic effect on contemporary female composers, who see in her the shape of sound to come.”
