- More about Masks for the Gods: A Worldwide Pictorial Study
This book studies masks in worldwide mythology and religion, the stories they tell, and the ceremonies danced for the gods of a variety of cultures. Masks are odd; they are worn to cover faces, for people to pretend they are someone or something different, and they can be grotesque or beautiful. They are of communal importance, and that purpose cannot be detached from the related rituals. Legend and folklore tell many curious tales of the inspiration of spirits, sacrifice to deities, and dance in relation to the creation of masks. The motivation of the creator of the mask is influenced by the wants and needs of the community, but the creator is an artist who carves and lives the story of the mask.
