Uncover the Mysteries of African Ritual Masks
That African mask hanging on your wall might not be a piece of art. It might be a covenant.
About this video
In this video, I break down what African ritual masks actually are, why they were made, how so many of them ended up scattered across living rooms in Europe and America, and why some of them are still active even after decades away from home.
If your mask has been speaking to you, appearing in your meditations, or making its presence felt in ways you cannot explain, this video is for you. I explain the cyclical nature of ritual covenants, why some masks were never meant to be seen by human eyes, and what you can do if you suspect what you own is more than decoration.
What you will learn in this video: The difference between ceremonial masks and ritual masks Why African art was not originally made for viewing How colonialism and missionary Christianity emptied our shrines What a covenant mask actually is and how it works Why your mask might be acting up right now
