"Wizardry: Unveiling the Mysteries of Magic and Witchcraft" Step into a world where enchantment reigns, as illustrated in Ulrich Molitor's treatise on diviner women and witchcraft. The intricate engravings depict scenes that both mesmerize and bewilder. In Andersen's "The Little Mermaid, " the sea witch utters those haunting words, "I know what you want. " A chilling reminder of the power wielded by sorcerers and sorceresses throughout history. Abraham Palingh's engraving from "La Sorcellerie demasquee" transports us to a time when even a necklace could be used as an instrument of torture against those accused of practicing magic. The suffering endured by these individuals is etched forever in our collective memory. Witness the horrifying burning of witches in Germany's county of Regenstein. Engraved with precision, this scene serves as a stark reminder of the persecution faced by countless innocent souls who were condemned for their alleged involvement in witchcraft. Yet amidst darkness, there is also light. In scenes from St Nicholas' life, we witness the resurrection of a dead child—a testament to miracles that defy explanation but are attributed to saintly powers. Palingh's engravings continue to captivate us with depictions of punishment inflicted upon sorcerers. These images serve as cautionary tales about dabbling in forbidden arts—where consequences can be severe and unforgiving. The execution of Reverend Stephen Burrows reminds us that even respected figures within society were not immune to accusations or condemnation during times plagued by hysteria surrounding witchcraft allegations. No one was safe from suspicion or persecution. Francisco Goya y Lucientes' grey wash painting reveals an unsettling anthropophagy scene—an act committed by witches who supposedly devoured children. This haunting image showcases Goya's mastery at capturing horror through his artistry, leaving viewers disturbed yet unable to look away.
