EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving from 1808 depicts the intense moment when Saul, the biblical king of Israel, seeks to communicate with the deceased prophet Samuel through the Witch of Endor. In this powerful scene from I Samuel 28, we witness a forbidden act of divination known as necromancy. Saul's desperation to consult Samuel stems from his desire for guidance and prophecy during a critical time in his reign. Despite having previously banished all witches and sorcerers from his kingdom, he secretly approaches the Witch of Endor seeking her supernatural abilities. Promising not to harm her due to their clandestine agreement, Saul implores the witch to summon Samuel's spirit from beyond the grave. To everyone's astonishment, she successfully brings forth Samuel's apparition rising up from beneath the earth. The engraving masterfully captures both awe and trepidation as Saul witnesses this otherworldly encounter. The intricate details highlight every emotion etched on their faces – fear mingled with hope, uncertainty entwined with curiosity. This artwork serves as a visual reminder of humanity's eternal fascination with life after death and our ceaseless quest for answers beyond what is known. It invites us into an ancient world where kings sought divine counsel through occult practices like necromancy and augury. As we gaze upon this historical print, let us reflect on how far we have come in our understanding while acknowledging that some mysteries still remain elusive even today.
