EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from Olaus Magnus Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus takes us back to the Renaissance era, where mysticism and occult practices were shrouded in secrecy. Titled "WITCHES BREWING UP STORM" it depicts a scene of both awe and trepidation. In the midst of a raging storm at sea, a ship is seen capsize as waves crash against its hull. The sky is darkened by ominous clouds, while hail pelts down mercilessly. Amidst this chaos, a group of witches stands on the ocean's surface, their evil intentions evident in their mystical brew. The witches are surrounded by elements symbolizing their power over nature - an eerie goat representing sacrifice and transformation, and an ocean teeming with hidden depths waiting to be unleashed upon unsuspecting sailors. Their spellbinding presence suggests that they have conjured this tempestuous storm through ancient incantations. This woodcut serves as a reminder of the adversities faced by seafarers during those times when superstition reigned supreme. It transports us into a world where belief in magic was intertwined with everyday life. Through intricate details and expert craftsmanship, Sarin Images has captured the essence of this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but marvel at the artistry involved in creating such an evocative image. It invites us to contemplate not only the power wielded by these mysterious witches but also our own fascination with mysticism throughout history
