EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, a prominent figure in the world of ritual magic during the late 19th century. Dressed in ceremonial regalia, Mathers exudes an air of mystique and power as he stands before us. The artist, Moina Mathers, skillfully captures his enigmatic presence through her use of oil on paper. Mathers was deeply involved with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society dedicated to exploring esoteric knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. This affiliation is evident in his attire, adorned with symbols such as swords, crosses, and even the Star of David. These elements represent various aspects of different mystical traditions that influenced Mathers' practice. The painting itself transports us to a bygone era known as fin de siècle when occult movements were gaining popularity among intellectuals and artists alike. It offers a glimpse into the world of secret societies and their intricate rituals. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the profound influence that these esoteric practices had on art and culture during this period. The crosier held by Mathers symbolizes his role as a leader within this Hebrew cult or sect known for its Rosicrucian beliefs. Overall, this print serves not only as a visual representation but also as a gateway into understanding the fascinating intersection between spirituality and artistry at the turn of the 20th century.
