Katy Soar
Picture Sergeant Howie running across Summerisle, chased by strangers wearing animal masks. In folk horror fiction, masks are worn to perform strange rituals whose origins are often lost in the mists of time. Although these fictional rituals inevitably have a sinister purpose, the correlation between mask and ritual is almost universal and has long been studied by anthropologists. Today, despite claims that they have become mostly art objects, masks are still used ritually. Some of the most striking examples can be found in the context of contemporary Witchcraft and Wicca, where they continue to be used to create experiences of the mysterium tremendum
