Mounted Rides Sabbat Skeleton Toad Witchcraft Paranormal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative and intriguing image captures the mysterious and otherworldly scene of a toad hitching a ride on an animal skeleton, en route to a witches' sabbat. The sabbat, a nocturnal gathering of witches, was believed to be a time for the supernatural community to come together for rituals, feasting, and merriment. The toad, a common familiar or companion animal for witches, is depicted here riding proudly atop the skeletal steed. In the folklore and mythology of Europe, toads were believed to have the ability to fly, and so it is no surprise to see this amphibian mounting wings or other flying creatures in various depictions of witches and their sabbats. However, in this print, the toad has instead chosen to ride on the skeletal remains of an animal, adding an extra layer of intrigue and mystery to the scene. The historical origins of the belief in witches' sabbats are shrouded in myth and legend, with many accounts being based on hearsay, superstition, and fear. Despite this, the image of the sabbat and its attendees, including the toad riding on a skeleton, continues to capture the imagination and fascinate people to this day. This print, from the extensive collection of historical and paranormal images at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich and intriguing world of witchcraft and the supernatural, transporting us back in time to an era of mystery and enchantment.
