Paracelsus, an influential medieval and early Renaissance physician, alchemist, and philosopher, observed that women's menstruation is related to the creation of phantoms or supernatural entities, linking his ideas to astral influences. Paracelsus believed that the menstrual process, imbued with significant spiritual and imaginative force, could facilitate the manifestation of phantoms—entities influenced by astral forces. His observations suggest a deep connection between physical biological processes and metaphysical phenomena, reflecting Paracelsus's holistic approach to understanding the human body and the universe. Through these observations, Paracelsus underscored the intricate interplay between the biological, the psychological, and the supernatural, thereby enriching the theoretical framework of his medical and philosophical works. Paracelsus's insights into the astral influences on the human body and mind, particularly in the context of menstruation, demonstrate his innovative and mystical approach to understanding human nature and the natural world. Paracelsus, a prominent Swiss physician, alchemist, and astrologer of the 16th century, is noted for observing that the phantoms created by women during menstruation can be attributed to the phenomenon of perverted Astral Light. According to Paracelsus, the Astral Light, believed to be a subtle form of energy influencing physical reality, can manifest in a perverted or altered state, leading to the appearance of these phantoms. Paracelsus’s observations thus connect the concept of phantoms to the idea of perverted Astral Light, suggesting a subtle spiritual or energetic explanation for these phenomena. This theory aligns with the broader esoteric and astrological beliefs of Paracelsus, integrating physical manifestations with spiritual energies.

The entities, Gaufridi and Magdalen de la Palud, and their mutual chimeras, have been described as having a significant influence on the stigmata. According to the surviving literature, there exists a reciprocal relationship between the chimeras of Gaufridi and Magdalen, suggesting an exchange of supernatural experiences that may have contributed to the development or manifestation of the stigmata. This connection implies that the chimeras, which are beings resulting from a mixture of different species, might have served as a medium for the interchange of mystical or divine experiences between Gaufridi and Magdalen. The descriptions highlight the sympathy of their supernatural encounters, where the characteristics and experiences of the chimeras appear to have had a profound impact on the stigmata, which are often associated with the reception of Christ's wounds. Thus, the mutual chimeras of Gaufridi and Magdalen de la Palud likely played a central part in fostering a shared spiritual journey and the manifestation of the stigmata.

The stigmata experienced by the nuns appears to have been influenced by the defense and exonerations practices of Father Giraud. This suggests that Father Giraud played a significant role in shaping or supporting the nuns' experiences, either through his involvement in legal or moral defense contexts. His practices likely provided a framework or inspiration for the occurrence and validation of the stigmata. In both descriptions, the emphasis is on the connection between Father Giraud’s defense and exonerations practices and the stigmata phenomenon among the nuns.
