Witches

Self-published illustration book, which I have illustrated, written and laid out. Illustrations made with a pen and Indian ink. DIN A4. All illustrations are accompanied by brief text notes, without losing the prominence of the illustrations.

In it I tell the story of how the image of the witch has evolved from pre-Christian beginnings to the end of the 18th century. How at the beginning of time these women who ended up being known as witches began as healers and shamans. Those who were in charge of helping others with plants and ointments, and were in charge of communicating with the spirits of primitive cultures.

With the arrival of Christianity, these ideas became pagan and persecuted, with these women being accused of being the devil's lovers and spreading evil throughout the world. The people, although they followed the guidelines given by the Church, secretly continued to turn to these "witches" to solve earthly ills.
