EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sacrificing to Bel" takes us back in time to the ancient civilizations of Babylonia and Assyria. The frontispiece, beautifully depicted through a colour litho technique by Evelyn Paul, showcases a momentous ritual that was central to the religious beliefs of these cultures. In this scene, we witness an elaborate ceremony taking place within the sacred chamber of a Babylonian temple. Priests dressed in ornate robes stand before a magnificent altar adorned with symbols representing their lord and god, Bel. As they perform their duties with utmost reverence, the air is filled with an aura of devotion and spirituality. The atmosphere is joyous as people from all walks of life come together to celebrate this significant event. Festivities are in full swing as men and women rejoice in honor of their deity Marduk. The room is illuminated by the warm glow emanating from a Menora, casting enchanting shadows on the faces of those gathered. This image captures not only the grandeur but also the deep sense of faith that permeated every aspect of life during this period. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have sought solace and meaning through rituals and celebrations dedicated to higher powers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from 1916 by Lewis Spence's Myths and Legends collection, we are transported into an ancient world where belief systems shaped entire civilizations. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with mythology and our innate desire for spiritual connection across
