EDITORS COMMENTS
Mother Shipton, born Ursula Sontheil in 1488, is one of the most famous prophetesses in English history, hailing from the picturesque town of Knaresborough in Yorkshire. This photograph print, depicting Mother Shipton with her familiar, transports us back to the 16th century and the enchanting world of paranormal phenomena. Born with a harelip and other physical deformities, Ursula was an outcast in her community. However, her extraordinary abilities as a seer soon set her apart. Legend has it that she made her first prophecy as a child, predicting the coming of King Henry VIII. Over the years, Mother Shipton's predictions became increasingly specific and far-reaching, covering everything from natural disasters to political events. Mother Shipton's home in Knaresborough, near the Petrifying Well, became a popular pilgrimage site for those seeking answers to their questions or hoping for a glimpse into the future. Her prophecies were recorded in a book called 'Mother Shipton's Prophecies,' which was first published in 1641 and has since been reprinted numerous times. In this photograph print, Mother Shipton is shown with her familiar, a small, furry creature believed to be a badger or a weasel. According to legend, the familiar helped Mother Shipton in her prophetic visions and was a constant companion to her throughout her life. The image captures the essence of the mysterious and enigmatic Mother Shipton, a woman who defied the norms of her time and left an indelible mark on English history with her uncanny ability to predict the future.
