12th Century Dancing Founded Islam Medicine Members Muslim Order Performing Psychology Ritual Dervishes Ecstatic Remembering Trance
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving captures the mesmerizing ritual of Dervishes, members of a Muslim religious order founded in the 12th century. In this image, we witness their enchanting dance as they perform a sacred ceremony to remember God through self-induced ecstatic trance. The intricate details of their flowing garments and graceful movements are beautifully depicted in this print from Universal Images Group (UIG). The Dervishes' dance is not merely an artistic expression but holds deep spiritual significance within Islam. Through their rhythmic motions and repetitive rotations, these devoted individuals enter a state of self-hypnosis or trance-like ecstasy. This practice serves as a powerful tool for connecting with the divine and transcending worldly concerns. Beyond its religious connotations, this engraving also offers insights into psychology and medicine during that era. It showcases how ancient practices like self-induced trance were utilized by different cultures to explore altered states of consciousness for therapeutic purposes. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate the rich history and cultural heritage it represents. It serves as a reminder that religion can inspire profound devotion and rituals that have endured for centuries. May this image ignite our curiosity about diverse faiths while reminding us of humanity's eternal quest to connect with something greater than ourselves - whether through religion, art, or introspection.
