“There is a spiritual power in masks that transports one into realms unseen and gives voice to things unspoken… Masks make it possible to activate ancient archetypes, with the mask wearer reanimating or personifying an ancestral presence or spirit, a deity or power, an animal or a being of the eldritch world. “ - Nigel Pennick
