The Devil's Flight - A Surreal Journey into the Occult
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this woodcut illustration from the 17th century, we are transported to a realm where prophecy and witchcraft intertwine. The scene depicts an extraordinary spectacle as the devil himself takes on the form of a winged goat, soaring through the night sky. With his powerful wings spread wide, he carries a bewitching sorceress towards their unholy gathering known as the Sabbath. The artist skillfully captures both fear and fascination in this mesmerizing piece from Francesco Maria Guazzo's Compendium Maleficarum. The intricate details of the woodcut bring to life an eerie world where divination and dark rituals reign supreme. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination is ignited by questions about what awaits at their destination. What secrets will be revealed? What forbidden knowledge will be shared among these practitioners of malefic arts? This print serves as a haunting reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with the supernatural and our eternal struggle between good and evil. It invites us to explore realms beyond our comprehension while cautioning against succumbing to temptation. Through its surreal composition and rich symbolism, this artwork transports us back in time to witness an age-old battle between light and darkness that continues to captivate audiences today.
