EDITORS COMMENTS

"Unveiling the Shadows: Exploring the Enigmatic Realm of Evil" Delving into the depths of darkness, we encounter a profound symbol from Japanese folklore - the three wise monkeys. These ancient figures remind us to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, cautioning against succumbing to wickedness. In our quest for understanding, we stumble upon Eliphas Levi's Baphomet - an embodiment of equilibrium amidst opposing forces. This enigmatic figure challenges our perception of good and evil, urging us to find harmony within ourselves. DANTE's Divine Comedy beckons us further into this labyrinthine exploration. The frontispiece reveals Dante himself standing alongside Baphomet - a testament to the delicate balance between light and shadow that permeates his journey through Inferno. As history unfolds before our eyes, we witness the Salem witch trials' court records bearing testimony to humanity's darkest moments. Fear and superstition intertwine as innocent lives are condemned in a whirlwind of paranoia and malevolence. Seeking solace amidst chaos, Saint John Climacus ascends his heavenly ladder in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. A beacon of hope amidst despair, he reminds us that even in times tainted by evil deeds, redemption is possible through faith and perseverance. The statue depicting Perseus slaying Medusa serves as a powerful metaphor for conquering one's inner demons. In facing adversity head-on with courage and determination, we can overcome the malevolent forces that threaten to consume us. In 1887 Michigan witnessed Devils Toboggan Slide - an ominous warning against indulgence in vice during the Temperance Movement era. This chilling broadsheet serves as a reminder that unchecked desires can lead down treacherous paths towards damnation. Novgorod Icon's Last Judgement painting portrays divine justice meted out upon sinners with unyielding severity. It compels introspection on our own actions while reminding us that evil deeds will not go unpunished.
