EDITORS COMMENTS
Depart for Sabbat: Witches Prepare the Magic Potion for their Night Flight" (16th Century) This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the ancient ritual of witchcraft as witches prepare for their nighttime journey to the Sabbat. The Sabbat, a gathering of witches, was believed to occur on certain nights of the year, when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds was thought to be at its thinnest. The witches in this print are seen meticulously preparing a magic potion, which would enable them to ride their broomsticks to the Sabbat. The cauldron bubbles over with an otherworldly brew, filled with herbs, roots, and mysterious ingredients. The witches, dressed in traditional robes and pointed hats, stir the potion with long wooden spoons, their faces focused and determined. The paranormal atmosphere is heightened by the flickering candlelight and the ominous, stormy sky beyond the window. The historical context of this image is the 16th century, a time when witchcraft was deeply rooted in European folklore and belief. The depiction of witches riding broomsticks to the Sabbat is a common motif in early modern literature and art, and is believed to have originated from the shape of certain herbs, such as mugwort, which were used in witchcraft and resembled the branches of a broom. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of witchcraft and the magical beliefs of the past. The witches' preparations for the Sabbat are a testament to their deep connection to the natural world and their belief in the power of magic to transcend the boundaries of the physical realm.
