“Cursed Masks” explores the captivating intersection of history and spirituality through the lens of masks believed to harbor spiritual forces or bring misfortune. Diving into cultural beliefs and folklore, the book reveals how masks, beyond their physical form, have been perceived as conduits for the occult and concealed identity. From ancient rituals to modern interpretations, masks reflect humanity's enduring fascination with hidden realms and the darker aspects of the human psyche.
The book deconstructs the idea of inherent power in masks, arguing that their perceived potency stems from deeply ingrained cultural beliefs and psychological projections. It progresses systematically, beginning with foundational concepts of mask symbolism across cultures, then moves into case studies of masks associated with malevolent forces. Finally, it culminates in an analysis of the psychological underpinnings of these beliefs, revealing how masks tap into primal fears and desires.
