EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Instructing Witches: The Devil instructs his followers in the ways of unrighteousness," is a fascinating glimpse into the dark and mysterious world of witchcraft as it was perceived during the early modern period. Dating back to 1626, this engraving is a historical record of the beliefs and fears that once gripped European society. The central figure in the print is the Devil himself, depicted as a horned and clawed creature, seated atop a rocky outcropping. Surrounding him are a group of witches, all eagerly listening to his instructions. Their wild, unkempt hair and disheveled clothing are indicative of their supposed connection to the natural world and their rejection of conventional society. The scene depicted in the print is believed to represent a Sabbat, or witches' gathering. According to popular belief, these gatherings were occasions for the witches to pay homage to the Devil and engage in various acts of unrighteousness. The Devil is shown holding a staff, which he uses to guide and instruct the witches in the ways of darkness. The print is a powerful reminder of the deep-rooted fears and superstitions that once dominated European society. It reflects the belief that witchcraft was a real and present danger, and that the Devil was a very real and malevolent force. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring power of folklore and mythology, and the way in which they can shape our perceptions of the world around us. Despite the fact that this print is over 400 years old, it continues to captivate and intrigue us. Its haunting imagery and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of art or historical records.
