Departure for the Sabbath - A Glimpse into the Enchanting World of Witchcraft
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the mystical realm of witchcraft and superstition. Inspired by Ulrich Molior's 15th-century illustration from "Von den Unholden oder Hexen" this engraving takes us on a mesmerizing journey through history. The scene unfolds with an air of secrecy as witches prepare to embark on their nocturnal Sabbath ritual. Animal-headed figures take flight, defying gravity and conventional norms. The donkey, anthropomorphized with human-like features, stands out among them – perhaps symbolizing transformation or hidden powers. Intriguingly, an eagle soars above the witches, hinting at supernatural forces at play. Its presence adds an extra layer of mystery and power to this enchanting tableau. Every detail in this composition is meticulously crafted – from the pitchforks held by some witches to their eerie expressions that blend curiosity and determination. This image evokes both fascination and trepidation as we contemplate ancient beliefs surrounding sorcery and occult practices. As part of a late 19th-century publication on the History of Magic, this artwork serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with the unknown. It invites us to explore our own relationship with superstitions while marveling at how these age-old traditions continue to captivate our imagination today.
