1626 Bits Gallows Graves Handy Magic Magical Rites Robbing Witchcraft Witches Paranormal


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from the Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the dark and intriguing world of 17th-century witchcraft. The photograph, titled "Robbing Graves (Witches rob graves and gallows for little bits of this and that which will come in handy for their magical rites)," offers a chilling glimpse into the superstitions and beliefs of the time. Witches, shrouded in mystery and fear, are depicted in this image as they clandestinely dig up graves and search for valuable items. The historical context of this photograph is the year 1626, a time when the fear of witches and their supposed powers was at an all-time high. The belief was that the bones, soil, and even the clothes of the deceased could be used in witchcraft rituals to gain power or to inflict harm on others. The gallows in the background serve as a grim reminder of the harsh consequences that awaited those accused and convicted of witchcraft. The witches, however, were not deterred by the risk of being caught. They believed that the rewards of their illicit activities would be worth the danger. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the paranormal beliefs of the past. It offers a glimpse into the world of witchcraft and the lengths to which those who practiced it would go to acquire the necessary items for their magical rites. The image is both historical and paranormal in nature, and it continues to capture the imagination and fascination of people today. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history and the darker side of human beliefs and practices. It is a testament to the power of the human imagination and the enduring allure of the unknown. The "little bits" of history and folklore that this image reveals are invaluable, and they continue to inspire and intrigue us to this day.
