EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a group of traditional witches known as Kandelhexen are seen dancing energetically around a bonfire during their annual "witches sabbath" carnival performance in the enchanting Black Forest village of Waldkirch, Germany. The image, captured by talented photographer Kai Pfaffenbach on February 6,2016, showcases the mesmerizing beauty and mystique surrounding this age-old tradition. The unrecognizable figures dressed up in elaborate costumes and silhouetted against the night sky create an air of intrigue and fascination. Their creative use of body parts and smoke adds an oddly magical touch to the scene. As they celebrate their folk culture through dance, these mysterious characters transport us into a world where ancient traditions come alive. The flickering flames from the bonfire cast eerie shadows that seem to dance along with them, enhancing the aura of mystery surrounding this unique carnival parade. It is evident that every detail has been carefully crafted to preserve the authenticity of this traditional event. Pfaffenbach's photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into German folklore and cultural heritage. Through his lens, we witness how generations have passed down these customs from one witch to another, keeping their traditions alive amidst modern times. This powerful image reminds us of our human need for connection with our roots and highlights how celebrations like these continue to thrive even today.
