EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Consulting a Sorcerer" takes us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into an intriguing moment of Native American history. Engraved by Theodore de Bry in Frankfurt and published in 1591, this colored engraving depicts an intense scene of consultation between Chief Outina and a sorcerer. As we observe the image closely, Chief Outina can be seen kneeling on a shield while engaging in deep conversation with the sorcerer. The chief's face is filled with anticipation as he seeks guidance from the mystical realm. The sorcerer, adorned in traditional attire, chants ancient incantations that are believed to reveal crucial information about their enemy's size and strength. This historical artwork provides valuable insights into the spiritual practices of Native American tribes during that era. It showcases their strong belief in magic and divination as means to gain strategic advantages over adversaries. With warriors standing nearby, attentively listening to every word spoken by their leader and the sorcerer, one can sense both tension and hope within this sacred gathering. Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues masterfully captures this significant moment through his detailed depiction of each character involved. Through this print, we not only witness a fascinating interaction but also gain appreciation for the rich cultural heritage preserved within indigenous communities. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of our collective human fascination with mysticism throughout history—a testament to our eternal quest for knowledge beyond what meets the eye.
