EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "The Hare-Witch of Berry," captures the enigmatic and mysterious figure of a woman believed to be a hare-witch from central France, dating back to 1852. Hare-witches, also known as "Verrattes" or "Verrues," were believed to be malevolent humans who had disguised themselves as hares in order to deceive and harm the local communities in the Berry region. The history of hare-witches is deeply rooted in French folklore, with tales of their mischief and malevolence passed down through generations. According to local legends, these witches would transform into hares during the night, causing chaos and destruction in the fields and forests. They were often blamed for the loss of livestock, spoiled crops, and even the unexplained deaths of villagers. Despite their fearsome reputation, hare-witches were not always viewed with outright hostility. Some villagers believed that they could use the witches' powers for their own benefit, such as asking for protection from other malevolent spirits or seeking their help in finding lost items. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the beliefs and superstitions that once held sway over the people of central France. The woman in the image, with her disheveled hair and wild expression, seems to embody the wild, untamed power of the hare-witch, a force both feared and revered in equal measure. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to a world where the boundaries between reality and myth were blurred, and where the natural world held both wonder and terror in equal measure. The hare-witch of Berry remains an enduring symbol of the power of folklore to shape our understanding of the world around us, and to remind us of the enduring mysteries that lie hidden in the shadows of history.
