White and Black Magick Print - 1720 Woodcut – Two Witches Illustration, Medieval Occult Poster, Witchcraft and Demon Art #328

This White and Black Magick Print is a rare reproduction of a 1720 woodcut depicting two witches in a ritual encounter — a striking visual allegory of light and shadow, purity and corruption, white magic and black magic. Known as “Witchcraft: a white-faced witch meeting a black-faced witch with a great beast”, this medieval occult artwork captures the tension between divine power and infernal temptation — the eternal duality that defines the magical arts.

Rendered in bold monochrome, this witchcraft illustration exudes an atmosphere of mystery and forbidden knowledge. Perfect for occult enthusiasts, collectors of historical prints, and lovers of gothic or rustic decor, it serves as both an artifact of magical history and a statement piece for any space dedicated to mysticism, folklore, or esoteric art.

A Meeting of Shadows and Light

In this haunting occult woodcut, two witches — one pale, one dark — meet beneath the watchful gaze of a monstrous beast. The scene symbolizes the eternal balance between white and black magick, representing protection and destruction, healing and hexing, wisdom and temptation.

The composition embodies the duality of the human spirit and the mystical forces that shape existence. Each figure stands as an archetype:

• The White Witch, emblem of purity, celestial guidance, and natural magic.

• The Black Witch, mistress of forbidden knowledge, lunar power, and the demonic pact.
  Between them stands the Great Beast, symbol of primal energy and the untamed forces of creation.

This witchcraft artwork invites the viewer into a world of medieval superstition, alchemical symbolism, and ritual drama — where every shadow hides a story and every symbol carries hidden power.

Symbolism and Esoteric Meaning

• The Two Witches – Embody the eternal polarity of light and darkness, mirroring the magical balance between good and evil.
• The Beast – Represents the raw forces of chaos and transformation that both witches seek to command.
• The Meeting – Symbolizes initiation, the crossing of worlds, and the unity of opposites — a concept central to alchemy and occult philosophy.
• The Monochrome Contrast – The stark black-and-white palette mirrors the moral and spiritual tension within the magical path.
• The Medieval Style – Connects the artwork to the historical witch trials and the age of hidden grimoires and secret rites.

Historical and Cultural Context

Created in 1720, this witchcraft woodcut reflects a time when Europe still trembled under the legacy of the witch hunts, yet fascination with occult science, alchemy, and demonology grew stronger than ever. Artists of the early Enlightenment began to portray witches not only as symbols of evil, but as figures of mystery, rebellion, and forbidden wisdom.

This rare image bridges the worlds of folklore and philosophy, showing how magic was perceived as both sacred and dangerous — a duality that continues to define modern witchcraft and occult tradition.

Today, this White and Black Magick Print stands as both a historical relic and a spiritual statement, admired by pagans, historians, and artists alike.
