You know, I was going to gather together a cool little gallery of witches as they’ve been depicted through history. There is a vast array of artwork out there reflecting human belief through the ages.  The artwork is as fascinating to me as the diverse and complex beliefs that spawned it.

I hadn’t gotten too far into my collecting when I scaled back to this.  This isn’t my favorite piece of art depicting witches or Witches’ Sabbaths.  I say that now, and yet the more I look at it, the more it drags me in.  It was that little girl in the front (with the withered arms) that got me first.  And then as I was scrolling about the enlarged print, those two guys to the far left gave me some heeby jeebies.  The detail is amazing; the oddities remind me of Hieronymus Bosch, whose artwork I adore.
