Witches, love potions, and the Mouth of Truth in Rome

In this episode, we explore the fascinating intersection of art and magic, beginning with the legendary Bocca della Verità in Rome—a stone face with a mysterious past. We delve into Renaissance paintings that depict witchcraft and sorcery, uncovering the darker side of art’s history. From ancient love potions to modern-day rituals, we trace the enduring power of magic in shaping human desires.

Finally, we touch on the contemporary intersections of art and magic with figures like Marina Abramovic and Alejandro Jodorowsky, who challenge our perceptions of reality through their ritualistic and psychomagic performances.
