Some would call Hildegard of Bingen who lived in early medieval period a polymath or a Renaissance woman who was ahead of her time. But I would call her a true psychic, who also had unusual telepathic abilities. In the barbaric times of the eleventh century, Seeking the answers, Popes of Rome, kings, queens, statesmen and clerics and even some canonized in future Catholic saints visited her just to hear her predictions and prophecies. Here is what I found during my research for a local web analytics company.
She was quite a popular figure of her times, like a big rock star, if we compare her to our modern times. All we have to say is that she was the only woman in Middle Ages who had her preaching tours! She was not just a visionary, she was also a famous composer, artist, author, counselor, linguist, naturalist, scientist, philosopher, physician, herbalist, poet, activist of her times.
There was something unusual about her right from the start. She was born in 1098, and since childhood started to experience visions. And when she was just a little kid, Hildegard astonished her parents with her psychic powers. She told her parents that a pregnant cow would give a birth to a calf. She described it in details, including spots on its forehead.
Hildegard was the tenth child from the family of free nobles in Germany. She did not have a robust health. Since her childhood till the end of her days, Hildegard could predict many things or simply describe something that would only happen in future. Many centuries later we can only guess whether Hildegard was a true psychic or had just some telepathic abilities. Her parents were smart enough to offer her to a church under the care of a highly popular nun Jutta. One can say that Hildegard got extremely lucky, because any other wrong move of her parents could lead her directly to be burnt in a fire and accused to be a witch.
