EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the mystical bond between two witches and their familiar, a traditional black dog, in an engraving from circa 1600. The witches, clad in flowing robes and pointed hats, gaze intently into the flames of their cauldron, their expressions serious and focused. The black dog, perched at their feet, looks up at them with keen, intelligent eyes. In the world of witchcraft, familiars were believed to be animals that were magically bound to witches, acting as their companions, protectors, and even messengers. The black dog, in particular, was a common familiar, often associated with the darker aspects of the craft. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fabric of the witches' robes to the swirling patterns of the cauldron, transport us back to an era when the supernatural was a part of everyday life. This hauntingly beautiful print offers a glimpse into the rich and complex world of early modern witchcraft, where the natural world was infused with magic and the bond between humans and animals was thought to be far more profound than we can imagine today.
