EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut from Sebastian Munster's Cosmographia universalis, we are transported back to the year 1544 and witness a scene of dark magic and mystery. A witch, cloaked in shadows and surrounded by an aura of power, stands before Marcomir, King of the Franks. With a flick of her fingers and an incantation on her lips, she summons forth a monstrous creature from the depths of the unknown.
The monster that materializes before them is like nothing seen before - a fantastical being with twisted limbs, sharp claws, and eyes that gleam with otherworldly intelligence. Its presence fills the air with a sense of foreboding and wonder as those gathered watch in awe at its monstrous form.
This moment is steeped in prophecy and occult significance, as it is said that the witch's summoning was meant to reveal secrets hidden within the fabric of time itself. The king's expression betrays both fear and fascination as he witnesses this incredible display of power.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the enduring allure of tales about witches, monsters, and magic. It serves as a reminder that there are forces beyond our understanding at work in the world - forces that can shape destinies and alter reality itself.
