The word bombast does come into the English language a few decades after Paracelsus' death. Seems plausible to me it could literally come from his name/style. But then again that's just dubious amateur etymology on my part. Plausible though.

Haha, the trident of boners. That was a funny story. Robert Fludd was a proponent of the weapon salve, swore by it although many people were suspicious of its diabolicalness. One thing that blows my mind about the Renaissance is that these guys could, at just about any time, be condemned for sorcery. People nowadays are afraid of being cancelled on social media, I cannot even fathom being burned alive for my beliefs. These guys were total bad asses, especially revolutionary thinkers like Paracelsus. Fearless confidence.

Great episode I had missed earlier! For the sometimes arduous task of reading a text like the 'Archidoxis magica' in blackletter / Fraktur there is a rather recent solution, as Paracelsus scholars Didier Kahn and Urs Leo Gantenbein have launched the extremely helpful THEO project, which can be found online. This open database contains very accurate digitised plain text versions of both the Huser and Sudhoff editions of Paracelsus's works, and thus also includes the 'Archidoxis magica.' The effort of reading a rather archaic form of (Swiss) German remains, of course!

Fascinating stuff! The "remote healing" associated with the weapon salve reminds me very much of some of the techniques used within "Radionics", a system developed during the late 1800s / early 1900s. A "radionics device" is like a dowsing rod that gives more specific data. They usually have an area to put a "witness" (i.e.: a photograph, a sample of hair or blood, etc. of the person that is to be diagnosed and/or healed at a distance by the one operating the device). The operator manipulates a series of dials on the device with one hand, while the other hand rests on a plate that the dials are connected to. The dials represent different characteristics of the person. The operator senses intuitively when a dial is set in a way that is reflective of that person's actual state by paying attention to what the hand on the plate feels as the other hand slowly rotates the dials. It may seem to change in temperature or texture (e.g.: "warm" or "sticky" when on an accurate setting). One can then project a healing intention upon the witness using the information from the dials as a guide. Generally, the idea is that a representation of someone can be used to derive information about them or be used to influence them in some manner. The theory behind this ranges from the type of "sympathetic magic" that was probably common during Paracelsus' time (and earlier) to the "quantum mysticism" that is more prevalent nowadays. It is not so strange if one is of the belief that all things are interconnected in some way, such as through a sort of "immanent" aspect of the "divine" (like "Panentheism"), or through a "quantum potential" (such as that postulated by David Bohm).
