EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of deep concentration between two Old Prophets in Africa, circa 1868. Their furrowed brows and intense gaze suggest the gravity of the situation at hand, as they delve into the mysteries of the paranormal world. The belief in prophets and their abilities to uncover the truth through divine intervention was deeply rooted in the tribal cultures of Africa, with the Zulu people being one of the most renowned practitioners. The prophets in this image may be seeking to uncover the presence of witchcraft that has been cast upon an individual or the tribe. Witchcraft, a complex and multifaceted belief system, was believed to be a powerful force that could bring both good and evil. The prophets' role was to discern the intentions behind the use of this magic and to offer protection or remedies to those affected. The paraphernalia surrounding the prophets - the animal skins, the bones, and the various tools - serve as a reminder of the deep connection between the natural world and the spiritual realm. The prophets' inquiries were not a series of guesses, but rather a deeply held belief in the ability to communicate with the spirits and the divine. The photograph offers a glimpse into a world where the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual were not clearly defined, and where the power of belief could shape the course of one's life. This powerful image invites us to reflect on the enduring nature of human belief systems, and the role they play in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
