This looks like a green screen shit fest turd dunker that I will absolutely probably watch one time and hate myself for enjoying it, because I will be doing something else while it plays in the background.

Rather enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing!

I have a set of these that I 3D printed, and a few pieces of which are sat upon my desk. I marvel at them regularly.

There it is; the allegory encourages a life of self-sacrifice as the path to resist the devil’s temptations. By “cutting away” temptations and vices, one can attain spiritual freedom. Nothing like a beaver’s extreme commitment to purity to drive home a moral lesson, right? #MedievalBestiary 9/9

Then, when they see him having nothing of his own, they depart from him as if he is ‘used up’ or ‘completed.’ He, however, lives in God, and is not captured by the devil, who says, ‘I will pursue and capture them.’ The beaver is called castor from the act of castration.” #MedievalBestiary 8/9

Thus, everyone who lives according to the command of God and wishes to live chastely. It cuts away all vices from you, and every act of impurity, and casts them from you into the face of the devil. #MedievalBestiary 7/9

...and throws them into the face of the hunter, and thus escapes by fleeing. But if it becomes aware again that another hunter pursues it, it raises itself and displays its male organs to the hunter. When [the hunter] sees him lacking his testicles, he withdraws from him. #MedievalBestiary 6/9

And now, the English translation... “There is an animal called the beaver, which is exceedingly gentle, whose testicles are most useful in medicine. About which the Physiologus says: when it perceives a hunter pursuing it, it bites off its own testicles..." #MedievalBestiary 5/9

et iacit eos a te in faciem diaboli. Tunc ille vident eum nichil suorum habentem consusut/consutut? ab eo discedit. Ille vero vivit in Deo, et non capitur a diabolo, qui dicit insequar et comprehendam eos. Castor dicitur a castrando. #MedievalBestiary 4/9

Si vero rursus cognoverit ut alter venator eum insequatur, erigit se et ostendit virilia sua venatori. Quem cum viderit testiculis carere, ab eo discedit. Sic omnis qui iuxta mandatum Dei versatur et caste vult vivere. Secat a te omnia vitia, et omnem impudicitiæ actut, #MedievalBestiary 3/9

Est animal quod castor dicitur mansuetum nimium, cui testiculi medicinae sunt apossimi. De quo dicit Physiologus, quem cum venatorem se insequentem cognoverit, morsu testiculos sibi abscidit et in faciem venatoris eos iacit et sic fugiens evadit. #MedievalBestiary 2/9
