EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable moment in the life of an Egyptian Dervish during the 19th century. The image showcases the dervish fearlessly indulging in a rather unusual meal - scorpions. With his long, flowing beard and intense gaze, he exudes an air of mysticism and spiritual devotion. The dervish sits cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a basket filled with these venomous creatures. His hands delicately hold one scorpion as if it were a precious morsel. Despite their dangerous nature, this brave soul appears unafraid, challenging societal norms and embracing his ascetic lifestyle. Intriguingly, behind him lies another symbol of danger - a cobra snake coiled up in its own basket. This juxtaposition highlights both the physical dangers faced by this mendicant beggar as well as his unwavering faith that protects him from harm. As we delve into this mesmerizing scene captured by El Mundo Ilustrado in Barcelona back in 1880, we are transported to a world where poverty intertwines with spirituality. This portrayal sheds light on the Sufi tradition within Islam and offers us insight into their practices that often defy conventional understanding. Through this thought-provoking print, we are reminded of the diversity within religious traditions and how individuals express their devotion uniquely across cultures and time periods. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece capturing historical significance and an invitation to explore different facets of human existence through
