EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image from the early 17th century captures the mystical bond between witches and their familiars. The witches, dressed in traditional robes and pointed hats, gather around a bubbling cauldron, their faces illuminated by the flickering light of the fire. Among them, a familiar, in the form of a black cat, gazes intently at the brew, its tail twitching with excitement. But the most intriguing figure in this scene is the witch in the foreground, her face obscured by her hat, who holds the reins of a broomstick. The broomstick, an iconic symbol of witchcraft, is not only being ridden by this witch but also by her familiar, perched atop it with its paws gripping the handle. The familiar's wings, unfurled and spread wide, allow it to fly effortlessly through the night sky. The idea of witches' familiars, animals believed to be magical companions, has been a part of folklore and mythology for centuries. These animals were believed to assist witches in their magical practices and could take on various forms, including cats, dogs, rats, and even birds. However, the depiction of a familiar flying on a broomstick is a rare and intriguing one. It is unclear whether this image is meant to be taken literally or is simply a representation of the deep connection and magical abilities believed to exist between witches and their familiars. Regardless, it remains an intriguing and captivating glimpse into the world of early modern witchcraft.
