Description: This richly detailed and mystical painting depicts a cluttered table filled with various occult and witchcraft-related objects. The composition is an intricate still life featuring a mix of spiritual tools, ritualistic items, and esoteric symbols, evoking the atmosphere of a sŽance or a spell-casting session.
At the center, a Ouija board and planchette suggest communication with spirits, reinforcing the supernatural theme. Nearby, a collection of tarot cards, including the Death card, hint at divination and fortune-telling. There are also rune stones, pentagrams, and crystals, often associated with mystical energy and guidance.
Scattered throughout the scene are candles of various colors, some lit or partially melted, suggesting an active ritual. There are also bundles of herbs, feathers, bones, and skulls, which are commonly used in folk magic and spiritual practices.
