THIS WEEK’S COVER
- In John Falter’s memory-evoking painting of milking time at sundown, when lights gleam in the barn and kitchen, and supper is on the stove, there is a devil trap, if you know where to look. The decoration itself is traditional in Falter’s neighborhood, which is Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and dates back to the days when a gloomy belief in “hexing,” or witchcraft, was general. The stars came into favor as an antihex mark, or witch repellent, a kind of countermeasure, like carrying a rabbit’s foot. They jinxed the hex; if you followed the archway where the barn window represented a devil’s head and the scheme to give the devil a headache. Seeing the arches originally believed—the devil would mistake a small window for a big one, and crack his head when he tried to fly inside.
