ill., ril. Iniziando i lettori all'antica arte della stregoneria, questo corposo volume li trasporterà in un mondo affascinante e complesso, ripercorrendo l'avvincente storia di una tradizione secolare dai miti delle culture arcaiche che avevano per protagoniste divinità femminili fino alle sue declinazioni più moderne per mano di artiste e attiviste. Fondato su leggende, miti e folclore, l'archetipo della strega si è sviluppato a partire dalla vicenda di Ulisse e Circe, dalle storie dell'incantatrice della mitologia gallese Ceridwen e dal mito di Ecate, spietata signora della notte e della luna. In Witchcraft ne seguiremo le numerose incarnazioni nel corso dei secoli, vedendola di volta in volta tramutarsi in madre, ninfa e megera seduttrice e distruttrice. Curato da Jessica Hundley in collaborazione con Pam Grossman - scrittrice, studiosa e praticante - questa avvincente cronistoria per immagini, finora unica nel suo genere, è un viaggio approfondito nella complessa simbologia delle tradizioni magiche così come sono state rappresentate nella storia dell'arte. Nel corso del tempo, infatti, la figura della strega è stata fonte d'ispirazione di grandi artisti, dalle oscure seduzioni di Francisco Goya e Albrecht Dürer alla ricercatezza del peana e alla rielaborazione del femminino magico operata dal circolo surrealista di Remedios Varo, Leonora Carrington e Leonor Fini. Ma la strega è stata anche protagonista di leggende popolari e tragedie letterarie, dalle mele avvelenate dei fratelli Grimm alle tre streghe riunite intorno al calderone nel Macbeth di Shakespeare, fino alla malvagia Strega dell'Ovest di L. Frank Baum, indimenticabile antagonista di Dorothy nel romanzo Il meraviglioso mago di Oz. Nel corso di questo affascinante viaggio per immagini, assisteremo anche alla metamorfosi della strega da oggetto di persecuzione a simbolo contemporaneo di emancipazione femminile, coraggiosa provocazione ed efficace anticonformismo. Corredato di testi illuminanti scritti da praticanti contemporanee quali Kristen J. Sollée e Judika Illes come pure di interviste ad autrici e studiose quali Madeline Miller e Juliet Diaz, Witchcraft presenta un'ampia gamma di tradizioni culturali che considerano le arti magiche sinonimo di ricerca spirituale e catarsi creativa. La Biblioteca esoterica esplora il modo in cui centinaia di artisti hanno dato forma al misticismo, traducendo l'arcano e l'oscuro in opere d'arte visionarie e immortali. Ogni tema è illustrato attraverso immagini moderne e di archivio provenienti da collezioni private, biblioteche e musei di tutto il mondo. Il risultato è una storia visiva completa, uno studio sul richiamo primordiale esercitato da sogni e incubi e dei modi creativi in cui l'uomo cerca di connettersi con il divino.

Einband minimal oben eingerissen, papierbedingt leicht gebräunt, leicht berieben, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand - VORBEMERKUNG -- Die hier gesammelten vier Abhandlungen sind eine Umarbeitung und Erweiterung von Vorträgen, welche in den Jahren 1951 bis 1956 in der »Zeitwende«, in »Wort und Wahrheit«, desgleichen in der »Neuen Schweizer Rundschau« und im »Merkur« erschienen sind. Ihr gemeinsames Anliegen ist die geschichtliche Erörterung und die sachliche Klärung des Verhältnisses der Philosophie zur christlichen Theologie. Das Wissen der Philosophie hat aber als skeptisch untersuchendes Fragen von sich aus kein Verhältnis zur Antwort des christlichen Glaubens. Es ist das geschichtliche Faktum des Glaubens an Gottes Offenbarung in Christus, welches die philosophische Skepsis in ein Verhältnis zum Glauben setzt, der seinerseits nicht umhin kann, sich mit der Skepsis des Wissens auseinanderzusetzen, sofern er sich selber durchdenkt. Alle vier Abhandlungen orientieren sich deshalb an christlichen Denkern, obwohl ihre Absicht eine philosophische ist. Kein Mensch ist von Natur aus ein gläubiger Christ, wohl aber alles, was ist, bedenkend.
