EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the mystical and enigmatic atmosphere of a Sabbat, or witches' feast, as depicted in European folklore and art of the late 16th and 17th centuries. The print, titled "Eating at Sabbat: Dining with Demons," shows a group of witches seated around a long table, deep in conversation and consumption. At the head of the table, the Devil himself sits, flanked by his demonic companions. Their faces are twisted in sinister expressions, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. The witches, dressed in traditional robes and pointed hats, appear unfazed by the presence of their supernatural guests. They continue to eat and drink, seemingly in a state of blissful enjoyment. The scene is set in a dimly lit, forested clearing, with the moon casting long shadows over the ground. The air is thick with the scent of herbs and the sound of laughter and merriment. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex world of early modern witchcraft. Sabbats were believed to be occasions when witches would gather to pay homage to the Devil and receive his guidance and protection. The exact nature of these gatherings was the subject of much fear and speculation, fueled by the widespread panic and hysteria surrounding witchcraft during this period. Despite the dark and ominous appearance of this image, it also speaks to the human desire for connection and community, even in the face of the unknown and the fearsome. The witches in this print are not cowering in fear, but rather embracing the power and mystery of the natural world and the supernatural beings that inhabit it.
