EDITORS COMMENTS
The Magic Circle" is a captivating print that takes us on a journey into the mystical world of English occultism. This enigmatic artwork, created by an anonymous 20th-century English artist, draws inspiration from the Goetic Theurgy and the renowned magical textbook, "The Lesser Key of Solomon". Intricately detailed and rich in symbolism, this illustration was first published in Arthur Edward Waite's "The Book of Ceremonial Magic" in 1911. Waite, a British mystic and writer known for his deep understanding of esoteric subjects, brings to life an ancient practice through this mesmerizing image. At its center lies the magical circle itself – a sacred space used to evoke aerial spirits. Surrounding it are intricate religious symbols intertwined with elements suggestive of sexuality. The hexagram prominently displayed within the circle represents balance between opposing forces and serves as a powerful talisman. This artwork not only reflects the fascination with occultism during the Renaissance period but also offers insight into 17th-century magic practices. Its illustrations transport us back in time to explore hidden realms where religion intertwines with mysticism. "The Magic Circle" is more than just an artistic masterpiece; it serves as a window into centuries-old beliefs and rituals that continue to captivate our imagination today. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this spellbinding piece for all enthusiasts of history, religion, and magic to admire.
