EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated 1784, depicts the renowned French Catholic priest, Hervé Cures, also known as Pere Hervier, in the act of magnetising a hysteric woman within the sacred walls of a church. The phenomenon of magnetism, a precursor to hypnosis, had been gaining significant attention during the late 18th century, and Pere Hervier was a leading figure in its exploration. The woman, believed to be in an altered state, is shown with her eyes closed and her body contorted, seemingly under the powerful influence of Pere Hervier's magnetised hands. The presence of animals in the scene, including a dog and a cat, is indicative of the belief that magnetism could also affect animals, further fueling the intrigue surrounding this mysterious practice. The use of magnetism for healing and therapeutic purposes was not uncommon during this time, and Pere Hervier was known for his ability to induce trance-like states in his subjects. The practice was often met with skepticism and controversy, as some viewed it as a form of witchcraft or a violation of religious sanctity. However, Pere Hervier's reputation as a respected clergyman and healer helped to legitimise the practice within certain circles. This photograph, a rare and intriguing glimpse into the past, offers a fascinating insight into the history of paranormal phenomena and the role of religion in shaping our understanding of the human mind and body.
