EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a time shrouded in secrecy and mysticism. In this medieval manuscript illumination from Johann Tinctoris' "Contra sectam Valdensium" we witness a midnight meeting of Waldensians, engaged in an eerie ritual worshipping the devil himself. The scene unfolds with men and women gathered around a he-goat, believed to be the embodiment of evil. Bathed in candlelight, their faces are masked by shadows as they delve into forbidden practices that challenge societal norms. Among them stands a man preparing to kiss the goat's anus—an act symbolizing complete submission to darkness. This image offers a glimpse into the obscure world of occultism prevalent during that era. The carousel collection showcases European witchcraft at its most enigmatic and unsettling form. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals have been drawn towards exploring forbidden knowledge and pushing boundaries beyond conventional beliefs. As we contemplate this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bradley Smith for Granger Art on Demand, it is essential to acknowledge its historical significance rather than endorsing or promoting any commercial use. Let us immerse ourselves in understanding these ancient rituals while appreciating how far humanity has evolved since then—emerging from the clutches of superstition towards enlightenment and reason.
