D: #Mask



Today's Old Irish or other terms comes from a great Druid Scholar and the FBg Druid.
Subject: Druids using Mask, Guise, Guising, Disguise.
Hope to Druidic Literature references blog later on.

Searles O'Dubhain Here are two words for masks to be found in eDIL,. These are derived from the traditional tales and illustrate the magical use of masks in irish culture:
énchendach
Meaning: bird-covering, feather mantle:; bird-cap; a mask worn in totemistic ceremonies;
féth
Meaning: A magic mist, veil, which renders those under it invisible; a mask,
vizard, hood; a disguise that rendered the wearer unknown or invisible;
The definitions at eDIL for these words contain references to where thewords are used. Research into these could prove useful to any CR.
