EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment of historical significance - the exorcism of the notorious Witch of Wookey in Somerset. The medieval witch, known for her dark practices and paranormal abilities, was finally confronted by a Holy Clerk from nearby Glastonbury. As the ritual unfolded, the witch's powers were no match for the holy intervention, and she was swiftly turned to stone.
The image is steeped in history and folklore, offering a glimpse into a time when beliefs in witchcraft and magic held sway over communities. The Witch of Wookey's name had struck fear into the hearts of many, but now she stands frozen in time as a testament to the power of faith and righteousness.
The scene is both eerie and mesmerizing, with shadows playing across the stone figure that once embodied evil forces. It serves as a reminder of our collective past and the enduring fascination with tales of witches and their supernatural abilities.
As we gaze upon this haunting image, we are transported back to an era where superstition reigned supreme and legends were born. The Witch of Wookey may have met her end at the hands of a holy man, but her story lives on through this remarkable photograph captured by Mary Evans Prints Online.
