EDITORS COMMENTS
Veleda, the revered prophetess of the Germanic tribe of the Bructeri, circa 70 AD. This evocative image captures the enigmatic figure of Veleda, a seeress and soothsayer, whose prophetic abilities were believed to have played a significant role in the political and military events of her time. Born into the Germanic tribe of the Bructeri, Veleda lived during the turbulent 1st century AD, an era marked by the expansion of the Roman Empire into Germania. Her tribal affiliation and prophetic gifts made her a powerful figure, both within her own community and in the wider Germanic world. Veleda's prophecies were said to have influenced the course of history, including the decision of the Bructeri to ally themselves with the Roman Empire against other Germanic tribes. Her visions were sought after by leaders and warriors alike, and her counsel was valued for its insight and accuracy. In this print, Veleda is depicted in the midst of a trance-like state, her eyes closed and her hands raised in a gesture of divination. Surrounded by symbols of her power and the natural world, she embodies the mystical connection between the human spirit and the forces of nature. Veleda's legacy as a prophetess and tribal leader continues to intrigue scholars and historians, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and spiritual practices of the ancient Germanic world. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit and the role of prophecy in shaping the course of history.
