I always wonder how the executioner’s hold the crown without poking themselves. Also, mmmmmm, what an expression.
Well, it is difficult to scream with one’s mouth closed

You read the executioners’ thoughts! They hate getting pricked. Watch out for the next picture in a couple of days....I always wonder how the executioner’s hold the crown without poking themselves. Also, mmmmmm, what an expression.

The hoisting
=========
The soldiers pull on the ropes that are tied to either end of @malins 's patibulum and are attached to a pulley on top of the stipes.
The wooden beam starts to rise along the upright.
She shrieks in pain as her naked, tortured body pulls on her nailed wrists.
A soldier comes behind her to support her hanging body, ostensibly to alleviate her pain.
However, he grabs and fondles her breasts, twisting the erect nipples.
Another grabs her trembling legs and slides his hand between her legs.
He laughs, exclaiming to his fellow soldiers "The whore is wet - unbelievable, as she is being raised, she is still insatiable!"
@malins 's face is a mask of agony. Despite all this she has not lost consciousness.
ou wLong may she reign on her throne of pain!
Will this ever end? They kept finding new ways to cause me painThe coronation of Kathy
================
The high priestess, @Kathy , accused of being a witch, is cut down from the whipping post.
After she has regained her senses (somewhat), she is paraded in front of the soldiers, her naked body throbbing with pain. She tries to cover herself as best as she can.
Then the crown is presented to her.
Her horrified eyes track the thorny bundle as it is shown to her and then put on her head. The thorns have dried blood, so she must not be the first unfortunate wearer of this crown of mockery.
The soldier is wearing a pair of thick gloves. They play this game a lot with the condemned and he is tired of ending up with bleeding fingers every time.
He presses the crown on her head - twigs snap and thorns get entangled in @Kathy 's copious black curly hair.
The woman gasps in shock as she feels the crown pulling her hair, and abrading and wounding her scalp.
The brutes let go of me and the other soldiers start hauling me up.Her body displayed to the crowd
======================
Bit by bit, the patibulum is raised, with @malins hanging from it by her nailed wrists like a piece of bloodied meat.
Thank you, that is a lovely account. The reader is with you all the way from when your feet leave the ground and you dangle helplessly from your nailed wrists...The brutes let go of me and the other soldiers start hauling me up.
It's not a continuous raising ...
the ropes slacken a bit each time they take a new grip, and then they yank me another bit higher ...
heave ho ... up with her ... all the force going through my nailed wrists ...
(I should be thankful for the thick ropes with which I'm still bound to the crossbar,
they hold part of the weight ... I'll cling to the hope that maybe they'll forget to cut them away when I'm up...)
I've got my feet under me now, supporting myself as the crossbar is pulled up ...
but the rough wood of the beam tears at my lacerated backside...
further they pull...
... then comes the moment where my legs are almost all stretched out ...
... then I'm on my tiptoes ...
...gleeful cruel laughter from the soldiers and another hard pull on the ropes ...
... and that inevitable moment of dread is there ...
my feet leave the earth, I'm hanging just by my pierced wrists ...
my toes search for the ground, then I start thrashing about in panic,
I find the upright beam, try to gain traction on it, all I get for that is some splinters in my soles ...
... try to wrap my legs around it ... try to raise my legs and press my feet against it from the side ...
... all this winning me further lewd comments from the soldiers ...
it's all useless and hopeless, I'm too weak, I can't find purchase,
my feet slip away, legs hang straight down,
too weak to cry out, mouth open in silent agony, I dangle from the crossbar ...
and you are all going to watch as I struggle helplessly ...Thank you, that is a lovely account. The reader is with you all the way from when your feet leave the ground and you dangle helplessly from your nailed wrists...
they have slaves to do that job, and all the other painful and dirty work.I always wonder how the executioner’s hold the crown without poking themselves.
and who is going to do the work of gathering thorny branches, and weaving pain-crowns from them in the first place?they have slaves to do that job, and all the other painful and dirty work.
And that was then, purely by chance, the one that was placed on the head of a certain Jesus.and who is going to do the work of gathering thorny branches, and weaving pain-crowns from them in the first place?
though maybe some executioners either have leather gloves, or have the crowns made in such a way that there are places were they can be easily grasped ... at a few points the crown-weaver slaves will break away the thorns ...
a big scandal was of course that one time when a crown-weaving slave made one that had all the thorns on the inside broken off
"You want something sturdier for your feet? A little more support? How about these?", and he shows her the nails.
"But you have to ask us nicely for them.."
