EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Swedish Werewolves: Men Transforming into Wolves to Serve the Devil (1555) This haunting image depicts a scene from Swedish folklore, where men willingly transform themselves into wolves to serve the Devil. The print, dating back to 1555, is a chilling reminder of the deep-rooted belief in the supernatural that once gripped the European imagination. The men in this image, their faces contorted with determination and fear, are shown in various stages of their transformation. Some have already taken on the form of wolves, their human features replaced by snarling jaws and piercing eyes. Others are in the midst of the metamorphosis, their limbs elongating into paws, their skin rippling with the power of the beast within. At the center of the image, the Devil stands tall, his horns reaching for the heavens, his eyes gleaming with malevolent delight. He is the Master, the one who commands these men to transform and do his bidding. The chain that binds them to him is a stark reminder of their servitude. This historical print offers a glimpse into the darker side of Swedish folklore, a time when the line between the natural and supernatural was blurred, and the fear of the unknown was a powerful force. The belief in werewolves was widespread across Europe, but in Sweden, it held a particular significance, with numerous accounts of werewolf sightings and trials recorded in the country's history. Despite the passage of time, the image of Swedish werewolves continues to captivate and intrigue, offering a window into the beliefs and fears of a bygone era. The print serves as a reminder that the human imagination is a powerful force, capable of creating myths and legends that continue to shape our collective consciousness.
