EDITORS COMMENTS
The Devil Baptises a New Recruit (Devil baptises a new recruit), 1626 Description: This intriguing and enigmatic image, entitled "The Devil baptises a new recruit," depicts a scene from the world of witchcraft and the Sabbat, a nocturnal gathering believed to be attended by witches and their supernatural allies. The year is 1626, a time when the fear of the unknown and the belief in the existence of the supernatural were deeply ingrained in European society. In the center of the print, the Devil, with his horns, goatee, and cloven hooves, stands in the role of a priest, performing a baptismal ritual on a new recruit. The recruit, dressed in a white robe, bows his head in submission as the Devil pours water over his head. The scene is set in a dark, moonlit forest, with twisted trees and ominous clouds looming in the background. The print, which originated from a European woodcut, is a powerful reminder of the belief in the supernatural and the role of the Devil in early modern European folklore. It also reflects the deep-seated fears and anxieties of the time, when the line between the natural and the supernatural was not clearly defined, and the unknown was often seen as a threat. Despite the dark and ominous nature of the scene, the print is also a testament to the enduring power of folklore and mythology in shaping our understanding of the world around us. It invites us to explore the complex and often contradictory beliefs of the past, and to reflect on the ways in which they continue to influence our modern-day perceptions of the supernatural and the unknown.
