People of the Puritan persuasion were know to be great visionaries, often seeing well into the future through intuition and “feelings they got in their bones.”
One notable Puritan, Goodman Scholl was well known for using his feet as a conduit for his prophesies. In particular, the gout in his left foot would cause him to see through the pain in his big toe, which he referred to as his “Tophet”.....
