Fetish Mask Culture and History
My Fetish Mask
| Fetish Mask a Brief History Modern day masks are worn traditionally as Halloween Masks, Masked Balls, Fantasy Masks as well as Masked Art. The earliest know reference to Masks is approximately 12,000 B.C. found in a prehistoric cave in France. The cave drawing depicted a man wearing a deer head. History is filled with masks of all shapes, sizes and purpose. They are used in tribal rituals, pagan ceremonies, and theatrical productions. The masks have origins ranging from classical myths and legends to day-to-day objects of whimsy and Art. Pagan ceremonies often accompanied using Masks for concealment from persecution and to portray the gods they worshiped. Often these religions were misunderstood and were portrayed as demonic by those who were ignorant of what was actually believed and practiced with regard to what today is regarded as Wicca (White Witches), sorcerers and priests. Both the ancient Greeks and Japanese used masks in theatrical productions utilizing men to play women characters as women were not allowed to participate in theatrical productions. In addition the ancient Greeks put on masked plays of mythology and fantasy portraying the gods of Olympus. Dark Side of the Mask Masks came into prevalent use to disguise the wearer while torturing victims and executions. During the middle ages masks struck terror in the hearts of those unfortunate enough to be caught up in criminal activities, enemies of the King and those on the wrong political or religious side of the inquisition. During the inquisition the Catholic Church persecuted among others worshipers of the sacred feminine burning thousands of women at the stake. During the 16th though the 20th centuries executioners used masks for disguise while guillotining, hanging or public quartering and dismemberment of prisoners. These hooded Masks are still worn today in some parts of the world where people are executed by beheading or hanged. |
