Masks Magic & Meaning View Masks The Western mind calls African Masks "works of art". To many Africans, masks act as spiritual and ritual objects to explain and assuage the unreal and unknown. One cannot truly feel the power, the Magic, of the mask until seen against a roaring bonfire, in a wildly animated dance of pounding drums. The Meaning of these sacred masks represent important spirits of protection and procreation. The sacred, the ritual, the Spiritual: this is the poetic language of the mask. It is a language of complex mythological stories, rich traditions and historic legends. These traditions were not written but remembered and acted, each time differently. The stories, mask designs, costumes and dances pass through the generations as cultural treasures. Click here to read the full story Through October 31, ALL Masks are 15% OFF!
