    Cerain clans in many cultures around he word had totem animaseir heads displayed on banners their skins or masks representing theseanimals wo by warriors and reigious eaders These animals weretaboo so sacred that they were not eaten or hunted

    Much later in history these sacred animas became mascots Emperorskept ie eagles and lions as a sign of their personal connection with adeity and power Today we still find sports teams with actua animamascos or a person dressed up as an animal and representing a mascot

    The words "mascot and "mask come om the ancient Sumerian andAkkadian m (ancestral ghosts) the Sufi ara1 (a reeler with

    the spirit) and he French c (a masked sorceress) and ct(witchcra). In the later period of French history e sacred animal ande mask which represented it had come to be connected with "witches A witch in this case meant anyone following the old reigions

    People once belieed at the wearer of a mask could become possessedby the spirit which the mask represented. The Scandinaians called amask m or m (hemet) The word rm is seen in one of he tites of

    e god Odhinn rmnr Many orseermanic egends tell of specialhelmes hat gae he wearer temporary entrance into Oherworldrealms Helmes were closely tied to he powers of the gdess He ruerof e Underword Some of the names of hemes listed in ancient legends are rimhelm (Odhinn's Mask/Hel's Hemet) Hildegri (Hel'sMask) Helkappe (Hel's Cap) or Takappe (Cap of Darkness)

    Today people wear masks at parties and masquerades at Haloween andMardi ras wiout reaizing the power connection they hae wihspiriual entities deiy or animal Most people hae forgotten theancient wers behind the mask and go for the isua eect rather thane connection wi at wer It would be wise to chse a mask care

    lly wih l knowledge of what powers one is caing upon

    Later legends tell of animals interacting with a hero or heroine Some

    stories tell of a misguided person who tried to take adantage of an animal and paid the price for meddling. Seeral cultus' stories tel of horses at caied away a person to strange and exotic Otheord realms

    It cld well that ur wrd "maara, or eye-makep came m thi wd. Wmen in Indiaand ther cuntries khl t otine their eyes in the lief that this actn pec hewerer. It culd the remnan of an ancient gdess cutom takn the pace m

    Freyja unclasps the feathered cloak with one hand and hands itto you She asks you if you are prepared to lea the powerbehind magick. When you answer yes, she tells you to put onthe cloak1

    As you fasten the clasp at the neck of the cloak, you begin tofeel strange curren of energy pulsing gently through you Thecolors in the landscape around you become more vivid; the goddess begins to glow with a golden aura The falcon cries loudly,and Freyja holds up her arm to allow it to soar into the sky

    "The power behind magick is the will and the mind, Freyjatells you What you wil can be done What you visualizestrongly will come to pass You must dare to do these things ifyou wish to practice true magick

    She steps foard and taps you on the forehead between youreyes "Fly with the falcon, child of magick If you can ly andspeak with the falcon, it will show you wondrous things

    You spread your arms under the falcon cape and feel yourself

    swiftly rising to join the circling bird above The air currentswhitle through your feathers as you glide beside it Everythingbelow you is small but in sharp focus With your mind you beginto communicate with the falcon, and are surprised to find thatyou can understand it

    The bird oers to take you to watch other magicians in theworld, both in this time and in ancient times When you agree,

    it dives suddenly toward the circle below You follow it, thewind whistling over your outstretched arms Just before the twoof you reach the very top of the stones, there a gentle pop, andyou find yourself in another place

    You are standing in an ancient Peian temple, the falcon sittingbeside you on a carved chet A Persian magi is performing aspellworking You watch and listen closely the old man fin

    ishes, there is a sudden gust of wind that lifts both you and thebird toward the ceiling There is another pop, and you are gliding once more in the sky
