EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing print from Olaus Magnus Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus, we are transported back to the bustling port of Antwerp in 1562. The image captures a fascinating scene where sailors are seen engaging in an extraordinary transaction with a magician. The sailors, eager to harness the power of the winds for their upcoming voyage, have sought out this mystical figure who possesses the ability to manipulate nature's forces. The magician stands before them, his face shrouded in mystery and wisdom. In his hands, he holds knots that represent the very essence of wind itself - tied tightly as if containing its immense power within. With each knot representing a different strength or direction of wind, these enchanted bundles become valuable commodities for seafarers seeking favorable conditions on their treacherous journeys. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era when belief in witchcraft and occult practices was deeply ingrained within society. It reminds us of humanity's eternal quest to control and understand nature's elements through supernatural means.
