The
Hope diamond - the famous cursed jewel.
As the history of the "skull of the destiny",
that one of the Hope diamond seems to suggest
the possibility that the crystals have the power
to absorb the human emotions.
The diamond came acquired in the 1688 from Luigi
XIV from a French trader of name Jean-Baptiste
Tavernier, than it was told had embezzled it from
the socket of the eye of a idolo in a tempio Indian.
Endured after Tavernier it went bankrupt and in
the hope to rifare a fortune was shared to the
time of India, without but never to arrive to
us because it was dead during the travel.
Luigi made to cut the diamond to heart shape in
order to donate it to Madame de Montespan, one
of its preferred lovers, been involved in celebre
"the intrigue of the poisons" in which
a series of fattucchiere they had distributed
to checkerses of the beautiful world poisons in
order to remove of means without suspiciones cumbersome
husbands. In the matter the black magic entered
there. Abbot, a sure Guiborg was been involved
also, use to sacrifice babies on the altar constituted
from the body knot of the Montespan. Obviously
the scandal came suffocated, the lost cortigiana
the favors gives and fattucchiere, tortured in
chambre the burning were put to the rogo. Therefore
after Tavernier, the Montespan seemed to be the
second person to damage of which the "blue
of France" (like came to the called age the
jewel) had exercised its nefarious influence.
A century after the diamond came donated from
Luigi XVI to its Queen and spouse Antonietta Maria.
Its involvement in the loss of the collar of the
stone wide made to diminish its already insufficient
sympathy near the people and was sure one of the
indirect reasons that contributed to the explosion
of the French Revolution, in which the malcapitata
Queen came guillotine. The prince of Lamballe,
to which Antonietta Maria she had entrusted the
diamond, died anch' linciata she from the crowd.
The diamond was ricomparso to London, but already
wide reduced in the dimensions, passed from 112,5
to 44,5 carats, less of the half of its weight
it originates them. In 1830 she came acquired
from the banker Henry Thomas Hope for the beauty
of diciottomila pounds and from that moment in
ahead she came christens it "Hope diamond".
From that we know Mr. Hope did not bring back
some collateral effect from the possession of
the jewel, neither null of ugly she happened to
the members of its family that if they passed
it, until arrived in the hands of one singer,
gone in spouse to Lord Francis Hope. The brace
broke off endured. The woman recognized to the
moment tetra the infuence of the diamond and profetizzò
that it would have been the ruin of anyone had
possessed it. Same it died in poverty, cursing
the stone. Being annoying in ugly waters, to the
beginning of the 1900's Lord Hope determined to
sell the diamond to a French agent, Jacques Colot,
which become crazy one killed, not before but
to have in its turn sold the stone a Russian,
prince Kanitovski who, after to have donated it
to one young dancer, in raptus of madness it had
killed the first evening that the young person
had worn it. The prince came in its turn executed
from the revolutionary. Then it had been the time
of gioielliere Greek, Simon Matharides, which,
to little days from the purchase, it was hasty
from a cliff (second some relationships, came
made to fall). In 1908 the stone was acquired
from the Turkish sultano Abdul Hamid, famous like
"Abdul the damned one". Combination,
the following year came placed, and of it it suffered
to such point to drive crazy. The successive master,
Habib Bey, died drowned. Therefore the diamond,
through gioielliere French Pierre Cartier, was
ended in America, acquired from Edward Makes happy
them Madean, owner of the newspaper "Washington
Post". It had not made in time to acquire
it that the mother died it and endured after the
two faithfuls house waiter. The son, the ten-year-old
Vinson, watched R-a.vista and held under control
continuously from guards of the body, a day for
game, eluded their surveillance, was scappato
crossing of race the road in front of house. Just
in that moment an car that passed had swept up
it killing it. Then Maclean, divisosi from the
moglie Evelyn, had been been involved in a scandal
and had ended its life from alcoholic. The diamond
was ended to the moglie that wore it sovente,
sfatando with irony the ugly history that they
handed on of its invoice. But when in 1946 the
daughter killed - poisoning itself with a dose
massiccia of sleeping pill - could not itself
be made less than to observe that the day of its
wedding the young person had worn just the cursed
jewel. In 1947, to the dead women of mrs. Evelyn
Maclean, the diamond came bought gioielliere newyorkese
Harry Winston who made it its for a figure that
was said had touched the million dollars. After
to have put it in extension to New York, it had
decided to deliver it to the Smithsonian Institute.
The fact that it sent it to the institution within
a simplest parcel post them demonstrates as it
did not suspect of the curse weighing on the object.
The envelope of the shipment comes still today
conserved with to the diamond. When in 1965 it
has been tested to the ultraviolet light near
the Laboratories De Beers di Johannesburg, the
diamond has continued to luccicare and to irradiate
light like a burning coal piece for several minuteren,
an indeed only phenomenon for a diamond. In estimating
the case of the Hope diamond the skeptics that
is use the same meter of measure adopted for the
so-called maledizione of Tutankhamon Pharaoh,
emphasizing as many between the owners did not
have to endure some damage from the possession
of the object. However, for how much an just dose
of precaution is senz' other the better attitude
to adopt in cases like this, to liquidate the
issue with a rising of shoulders like a mere superstizione
parrebbe a po' too much frettoloso. T.C. Lethbridge
was convinced that serious tragedies and facts
can leave, like saying, their "print"
in the places where they are consumed, hypothesis
described for before the time to the beginning
of XX the century from Sir Oliver Lodge, that
it assumed that sure "infestazioni"
could be very explained like one risen of "recording".
Lethbridge called these infestazioni "demons"
in order better to mean the disagreeable feeling
that they were in a position to provoking infesting
sure places. When it had eighteen years, a day
together with the mother was taking a walk in
the great forest of Workingham when, to the unexpected
one, both were are felt gotten depressed. Later
on they had come to know that in the pressed ones
of the place in which they had tried that inexplicable
feeling once it had been recovered the corpse
of it kills. Lethbridge was convinced that the
desperation of that man had been in some "recorded"
way from the place that, in its turn, was in a
position to transmitting it to particularly sensitive
persons. Approximately quarant’anni after,
Lethbridge and the moglie Mine were escapes a
long afternoon the beach in order to collect shells,
in locality Ladram nel Devon. While they were
walking all at once Lethbridge had newly experienced
the same feeling of "depression" and
sgomento, like when it has been forced to be left
over in means to the fog. Some minute after, Mine
had said it, she also in preda to the panic: "I
cannot more be in this place for a minute"
and therefore they were removes to you hurriedly.
The fine successive week purposely rivisitato
those drawn of beach and of new they had been
you attack from great uneasiness. That second
time, Mine had pushed end on the ciglio of a crepaccio
where to the unexpected one it had felt strong
desire to throw itself in the empty one, like
if it had been someone that urged it to make it.
Some time after Lethbridge had uncovered that
just of recent a man was kills throwing itself
it from that same point in which Mine it had been
felt threatened That one had been the reason of
the depression. The sadness of the man who had
decided to remove the life had impregnated that
place of its negative aura, ready "recorded"
also thanks to the presence of the element catalyst
of the water. (Both the days had been humid and
piovigginose and Lethbridge had noticed a small
stream that went to sfociare in sea just in the
point of the beach in which the sense of desolation
it was perceived with greater intensity). It had
not been as well as the phantom of kills to push
Mine to throw itself from the dirupo, how much
rather had been its sensitive spirit to answer
to the recorded negative suggestion from the place.
This hypothesis of the "recorded tape"
is that one that subtends to the psicometria concept,
is worth to say the ability that some particularly
sensitive persons have "to read" the
history of holding a simply tightened it object
between the hands. The clairvoyants are convinced
that the crystals posseggano to a degree the much
elevated ability to absorb: from here the great
popolarità of the balls to crystal ball,
that they must always be held covered from a drappo
dark for proteggerle from the light and the heat
(for the same principle for which a magnetic tape
does not have in the light of to be exposed the
Sun or to some cancellation). The documentation
on the so-called "maledizioni" tied
to objects that "carry misfortune" is
a lot abundant. Copy in merit, is, as an example,
the history of one cursed ship, “The the
Great Eastern” - on which they have been
written quite of the books - one great ship constructed
in XIX the century from engineer Isambard Brunel.
During the construction a rivettatore and its
apprentice disappeared and nobody more succeeded
to find them: the poveretti they had been locked
up inavvertitamente in the body of the hull. The
ship (largest never constructed until to that
moment) was remained stranded the day of launches
and three months were intentional in order to
free it. From that moment its "career"
had been studded from continuous accidents. Five
laborers were died for the explosion of one chimney.
Once in a port it had been damaged from a lightning.
A captain was drowned on one sloop together with
the cabin ship-boy. A sailor had been stritolato
from the shovels and an other had gotten lost
up sea. The long series of the disasters was continued
until the disarmament of the ship and to its dismantling,
fifteen years after the travagliato one I launch.
When the sheets came cut for the demolition, the
been astounded laborers were themselves find you
of forehead the skeletons of the poor rivettatore
and of its assistant, seals to you in the hull.
Relative history similar to ships, houses, airplane
and cursed automobiles are not available. As an
example, the car on which the archduke Ferdinand
came assassinated to Sarajevo (made that it made
to throw down Europe towards the $first World
War) provoked to the dead women of its successes
to you seven owners.
Hour, if Lethbridge has reason and the presumed
maledizione is simply rising of negative recording
of unpleasant facts, and a fact of for absolute
himself, would not be explained also because some
are sensitive to this phenomenon while others
if they cure at all neither of do not come affections.
Lethbridge asserts that sensitive individuals,
like he and the moglie - but also the rabdomanti,
as an example - is subject particularly receptive,
while many other persons lacking in this sensibility
can calmly not notice of null.
If the physical objects - as the crystals - they
are sensitive to the vibrations of the human mind,
it could some also achieve that in sure circumstances
rising of "maledizione" can is to you
impressa in intentional and deliberated way, a
po' like contraddistinguerli with one invisibile
pen. Sure the antichi Egizi believed in this phenomenon
and were convinced that theirs tombe could be
marked from the brand of one "maledizione"
to the aim of proteggerle from the intruders.
It is not said that the clergymen of the tempio
of Rama-sitra have not made the same one with
the wonderful one, but cursed, Hope diamond.
