I knew a nun whose Mother Superior jokingly refered to the smell of unwashed bodies in her convent as the odour of sanctity. I am drawn to this particular miraculous manifestation, as one that would be hard to fake and a particular blessing. http://www.paranormality.com/odour_of_sanctity.shtml

You know, that's really interesting! Linda once mentioned that people used to smell like that before they invented perfumes to mimic what they to smelled like. The same with makeup - we used to have more colour. I think we really do smell awesome when the weather and emotions are great. But in these times, it seems the "bad" smells of society increase - such as BO or breath. Some beutiful people do smell and taste great too.

That's really nice. The sense of smell is often associated with "paranormal" encounters, too. Our sense of smell is very powerful and can often conjure up memories, good and bad.

Does anyone think there'd be any meaning behind a foul odor issuing from a person ... apart from ordinary reasons, like physical uncleanliness, bad eating habits, etc?

Eleanore, I do think that there is some meaning to that! Someone pure of Heart, just smells good, if someone is dark, they give off a bad smell, and I do not mean B.O. I mean they smell like they are rotting, I have encountered that before.

It works both ways. Dark people who are attuned to spiritual smell have reverse impressions. Purity to them is what darkness is to us.
