Sacred Mask Sacred Dance (Llewellyn's Craft Series)

Most people think that masks are designed to conceal, but Sacred Mask Sacred Dance reveals how masks are a tool for transformation. Evan Jones and Chas Clifton have studied the use of masks and dance in ancient rituals, and incorporated masked dances into modern workings. Their approach to incorporated masked rites into a coven's rituals reflects a concern for maintaining the well being of the group while exploring the power of the masked dance to transcend the usual state of consciousness and "awaken dormant spiritual states."
