Bretagne Breton Conscious Consultation Countrywoman Rochefort Terre Vieux Wise Witchcraft Naia Paranormal Sorciere
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the early 20th century, Breton Sorciere Naia, the Sorciere du Vieux Chateau of Rochefort-en-Terre in Bretagne, is seen giving a consultation to a somewhat self-conscious countrywoman. The historical setting of this photograph, taken circa 1910, transports us back in time to an era when the practice of witchcraft held a deep-rooted place in the folklore and beliefs of the Breton people. Naia, with her wise and knowing gaze, exudes an air of enchantment and mystique. Dressed in traditional Breton attire, complete with a pointed hat and long, flowing robes, she embodies the archetypal image of a witch or sorceress. Her hands, delicately placed on the table before her, suggest a connection to the natural world and the unseen forces that lie beneath. The countrywoman, who approaches Naia with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation, is a reminder of the role that the local witch or sorciere played in rural communities. In times of need, people would seek their guidance and advice, often related to matters of health, fertility, or protection. The consultation room, filled with herbs, crystals, and other mystical objects, serves as a sanctuary where the boundaries between the natural and supernatural worlds blur. The photograph, taken at the Vieux Chateau of Rochefort-en-Terre, adds an extra layer of historical significance to the scene. The castle, which dates back to the 15th century, has long been associated with tales of witchcraft and the supernatural. This image, captured over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Breton witchcraft, a practice that continues to fascinate and intrigue us to this day.
