DEATH MASKS

Times Read: 642

The creation of masks for various purposes goes far back in the history of the world. The word MASK is derived “from the Old Italic masca, which defines an evil, hideous character, specter or witch. In Latin, it was referred to as larva, which was an infernal being, similar to the scheme of Germanic cultures. It is interesting to note that Latin also has the form persona, meaning a mask, a role or a person, which evolved from the Etruscan word phersu (a mask). It is also known in French as masque, and in Italian as maschera,”1

Masks could be used for transformational purposes, hiding one’s self or scaring the enemy. One case of using masks for the purpose of transformation has been recorded by Archaeologists as follows:

“Archaeology reveals one method of mask support practiced 2,500 years or so ago in Kentucky, Ohio, and as Far East as New Jersey. Among Adena Mound Builders there, men privileged to wear the masks of wolves and pumas submitted to the removal of the upper front incisors. Into this aperture was fitted the animal palate, thinned and narrowed, but including the fore teeth and fangs. Since this denture protruded several inches beyond the human face, it must have served to position the mask and lend it ‘bite.’”2

Death Masks have been found in every geographical region of the world, at every level of society whether rich or poor. Some masks are very sophisticated being made of precious metals and encrusted with jewels while others are very simple in remembrance of the individual. “In museums one can see the masks of clay and stone, encrusted often with precious jade, which covered skeletal faces and cremation bundles in ancient Mexico, One can see the masks of gold foil that identified mummy bundles in Peru. All of these were shaped to a predetermined form, more artistic convention than individual portrait.”2

As the mask evolved it also became a common practice to use the mask for funeral purposes to send the deceased safely to the next world or merely as a souvenir to be saved in remembrance of the dead. It was also known for masks to be made of the living or the dead in some cases for the purpose of portrait painting.

Journey with me to Egypt where the art of the funerary mask was unsurpassed. Gold was believed to be the skin of the Gods, which was often found on the funerary masks they created.

“Funerary masks and other facial coverings for mummies emphasized the ancient Egyptian belief in the fragile state of transition that the dead would have to successfully transcend in their physical and spiritual journey from this world to their divine transformation in the next. Hence, whether worn by the living or the dead, masks played a similar role of magically transforming an individual from a mortal to a divine state”.3

The funerary mask had a two-fold purpose. One it was used as a protection for the head on its trip through the afterworld. The mask was often created in the likeness of a deity of note so that the deceased would be readily accepted after death.

“Those of means were provided with both a mask with gilt flesh tones and blue wigs, both associated with the glittering flesh and the lapis lazuli hair of the sun god. Specific features of a mask, including the eyes, eyebrows, forehead and other features, were directly identified with individual divinities, as explained in the Book of the Dead, Spell 151b. This allowed the deceased to arrive safely in the hereafter, and gain acceptance among the other divine immortals in the council of the great god of the dead, Osiris. Though such masks were initially made for only the royalty, later such masks were manufactured for the elite class for both males and females.”3

Early masks were sculptured from wood and put together in two pieces with wigs later attached to them. Sometimes they were created from stiffening linen and papyrus with plaster called Cartonnage. Masks became more sophisticated in later yeas as some were made of beaten metal such as the mask of Tutankhamun. Royalty often had masks created from beaten gold or silver. In the case of Tutankhamun, the mask was solid gold, 11 kilos of gold to be exact. Facial and other details were often added by paint being applied to the mask.

“The use of face coverings for the dead continued in Egypt for as long as mummification was practiced in Egypt. Regional preferences included cartonnage and plaster masks, both of equal popularity during the Ptolemaic (Greek) period. The cartonnage masks became actually only one part of a complete set of separate cartonnage pieces that covered the wrapped body. This set included a separate cartonnage breastplate and foot case. During the Roman period, plaster masks exhibit Greco-Roman influence only in their coiffures, which were patterned from styles current at the imperial court. This included both beards and mustaches for males, and elaborate coiffures on women, all highly molded relief.”3

It became quite commonplace to cast masks out of plaster or wax in Europe as a keepsake for the family of the deceased or for the purpose of having a portrait painted. It has been explained that this is the reason why the features on some portraits seem very static and strained, since they were not done from a pose of the living person portrayed in the painting. Often living masks were also created and are the only remaining vestige of a beloved ancestor or someone of historical note.

“Since the 13th century, death masks have aided the sculptors of tomb effigies, but in medieval France and England actual death masks were used for the royal funeral effigies that lay in state. Only English examples exist, however; those in France were destroyed during the French Revolution. The mask of Henry VII is probably the finest in existence, and that of Edward III is the earliest European example; the latter records the facial distortion due to his fatal stroke. Other well-known masks are those of Isaac Newton, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Napoleon Bonaparte.”3

Generally the face was posed and then some form of lubricant was placed on the face. This could be something as simple as applying water all over the face. Then the wax or plaster was applied and taken off after it had hardened as a template. In some cases the whole head would be cast to form a three-dimensional representation of the head of the subject. Since the body decays many families and especially in Europe where the practice goes back centuries consider these masks as family heirlooms which were passed down from generation to generation.

This practice lost some of its popularity at the advent of photography but it is said that it is coming back into vogue. It is even used at times for the investigation of criminal cases. Plaster castings of heads of murder victims are created to try to identify the deceased person in question. One such case that remains unsolved was called, The Kinsbury Run Murders. The murders took place in Cleveland, Ohio.

Here are some death masks of victims that were never identified.

The murders began in September of 1934. As suddenly as they started, they came to an end. The reason the murders suddenly stopped has remained a mystery. The case began when the torso of a woman’s body floated to shore from the waters of Lake Eerie. Since this victim was never identified she became known as The Lady of the Lake. At the end of the killing spree, thirteen men and women had been killed. Some say the actual count could be as many as forty. The killer had the habit of dismembering his victims and was dubbed, The Torso Murderer.

Thousands of people looked at the death masks on display but not one of them could identify who the victims were. The masks can still be viewed at the Cleveland Police Historical Society. Here is a small excerpt from an article about the case.

“August 18, 1938: At 12:40 A.M., Eliot Ness and a group of thirty-five police officers and detectives, raid the hobo jungles of the Run. Eleven squad cars, two police vans and three fire trucks descend on the largest cluster of makeshift shacks where the Cuyahoga River twists behind Public Square. Ness’s raiders worked their way south through the Run eventually gathering up sixty-three men. At dawn, police and fireman searched the deserted shanties for clues. Then, on orders from Safety Director Ness, the shacks were set on fire and burned to the ground.

It is against this backdrop that one of the most prolific and gruesome serial killers of all time carried out his acts of horror, distracting the citizens of our city from the much needed pride and prosperity of the times. Thirteen people were brutally murdered over the course of four years beginning in 1934-all of them decapitated-most of them while they were still alive. Although then Safety Director Eliot Ness claimed to have solved the crimes, no suspect was identified, and no one was brought to trial. The murders ended as abruptly as they had begun. To this day the Kingsbury Run Murders remain one of the most sensational and intriguing unsolved crimes in our nation's history.

The press severely criticized Ness for his actions. The public was afraid and frustrated. Critics said the raid would do nothing to solve the murders. They were right, but for whatever reason, they did stop.”6

Erzsébet Báthory
13:16 Nov 28 2010
Times Read: 648

One of the first things I want to mention is that there is no tie to Elizabeth Bathory regarding the book Dracula. Raymond T. McNally has made claims in a book he has written unsubstantiated and possibly has never seen the actual notes that belonged to Abraham Stoker. If he did he is the only one who has come to these conclusions. People have jumped on the band wagon as if everything he has written is gospel. If Stoker was going to tie her into it he would have placed the location of the book at the very beginning in Transylvania. He did not do so and it was originally set in Austria. He changed the locale just prior to printing to Transylvania and the name of the book was changed to Dracula. She is mentioned as being Hungarian and Vlad Tepes as being Romanian but that would only mean the family may have spoken that language, both having been born in Transylvania. You can read more about this erroneous extrapolation concerning Elizabeth Bathory. HERE:

http://bathory.org/miller02.html

Elizabeth Bathory was born in Transylvania in 1560, to a wealthy and prestigious, noble family line. She was the daughter of Baron and Baroness George and Anna Bathory, as well as the niece of Stephen Bathory (István Báthory), once a Prince of Transylvania who later became the King of Poland. At this time, Transylvania was part of Hungary. The Bathorys were a very respected and powerful Christian family. Among their family members were warlords, those in political office and even members who had religious vocations. Her parents were related through family lines. Often relatives married to keep the lineage “pure” as they saw it and most often to keep the wealth in the family, which is most likely the case. Elizabeth was well educated for a woman of her time. She actually spoke three languages; Greek, Hungarian and German fluently and could also read and write Latin. For a woman of her time and a noble, she was exceptional when even some of the other nobles, including the males, couldn’t read or write their own first language.

She became engaged to Count Ferenc Nadasdy at the early age of eleven which was considered a prestigious match for the Count after all he was a warrior and had fought in many battles. Although he had this type of background, he was not as highly educated as Elizabeth. It was the Count’s mother that wanted the match with the Bathory family and it was she that arranged for them to be engaged. It is not exactly known how much older he was than Elizabeth but it was anywhere from five to fifteen years.

Elizabeth became pregnant in 1574 and the father was a peasant. Right here should quell any stories floating around that she was a lesbian. She was therefore isolated and she birthed a daughter, who was given to peasants to raise since the birth was out of wedlock and she had been promised to Nadasdy.

A lavish wedding was held for the marriage of Elizabeth to Forenc the following year. Among their invited guests was the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximillian II but unfortunately he had to send his regrets along with many presents sent in his absence. He stated it was far too dangerous for him to travel to the wedding.

“After her marriage, Elizabeth was established as mistress of the Nadasdy estate around Castle Sarvar. Here the Nadasdys enjoyed a reputation as harsh masters, and while much of Elizabeth's cruelty is doubtless due to her own nature, Ferenc is said to have shown her some of his own favoured ways of punishing his servants. There are also tales of the couple engaging in diabolic rites and patronising various occultists and satanists. It is unusual, although far from unheard of, for retellers of the story to claim that Ferenc was unaware of his wife's perversions.” 1

Elizabeth was not so fortunate in having children. It wasn’t until ten years later that she began having children. She had three daughters and one son. For all intents and purposes, it has been reported she was a great wife to her husband that is when he happened to be home which wasn’t often.

Elizabeth’s husband was gone for long periods of time, off fighting in some battle because in his heart he was always the warrior. She was left alone to manage the home. She is known to have taken young lovers, one of which she ran off with and later returned to her husband. She also had an openly bi-sexual Aunt Klara she would visit frequently which gave rise to suspecting Elizabeth had this same nature. There are those that believe her brutality stemmed from having many seizures. It is thought she had bouts of epilepsy which led to rages. It is also believed this might have been due to inbreeding. She witnessed some cruel punishments given out to people who had committed crimes such as petty theft and was not affected by it according to sources. The BBC had this to say about Bathory witnessing family punishments:

“She was also able to witness the brutal justice handed down by her family's officers on their estates at Ecsel. One anecdote describes an incident in which a gypsy, accused of theft, was sewn up in the belly of a dying horse with only his head exposed, and left to die. Such tales afford a grisly reminder that her own acts - while excessive even by the standards of the time - were not so very far removed from deeds which would have been considered quite normal.”1

Whether it was out of boredom or the long absences of her husband, it appears for whatever reasons, it led to Elizabeth Bathory engaging in the torture of young girls in their home. These were girls that had come there as servants or been enticed there with the prospect of work. She had the help of her wet-nurse, another woman and a male servant, and others over time. Supposedly one mode of torture she indulged was beating the girls with barbed wire or a cudgel and then have them dragged outside into the snow unclothed. Then to compound the beating, they were subjected to having water thrown on them. This of course caused them to freeze to death. It doesn’t sound like a case of vampirism but sadism.

Bathory’s husband died in 1604, from an infected wound which gave Elizabeth the opportunity of returning to the Viennese court and spending a great deal of time in her Castle located in Chachtise.

“It is also at this time that legend tells us that she discovered, on striking a servant girl who accidentally pulled her hair whilst combing it, that blood appeared to reduce the signs of ageing on her skin. The popular version of events tells how Elizabeth took to bathing in the blood of young girls, although of the various horrific eye-witness accounts of her crimes, none describe these blood baths.” 1

This account right here pretty much closes the case of her being a vampire because it wasn’t until this particular incident that she supposedly connected blood to maintaining youthful skin, if this indeed happened or isn’t another myth that has been attached to this lady. There were never any accounts that she drank the blood whatsoever let alone bathed in it. Many of the tales could have been extracted by torture or threat thereof. She was blatantly unhinged and a sadist. She enjoyed torturing people and for some reason young girls. It could have been related to the sacrifice of “virgin” girls that crops up in folklore associated to paganism. There is no evidence she was involved in any sort of Black Arts other than the inference that she and her husband knew others who were and had interacted with them. It is sketchy at best but the couple was definitely engaged in the seamier side of life. It appears these may have been superstitious rumors. She did believe in amulets it would seem and had one concerning cats. There were enough rumors to give pause and take some of the rumors as exaggerated but most likely many as factual happenings unsubstantiated beyond gossip.

There were always rumors about the aristocracy, that was a given, and their cruelty to peasants. The girls that Elizabeth is accused of torturing did indeed lose a lot of blood because in many cases she beat them to a pulp or pierced their bodies in cage-like devices of her creation that had spikes all around. Therefore, considering the beatings most of these girls took, it is no wonder they lost so much blood. She is accused of witchcraft but in those days all sorts of magic was referred to as witchcraft because they painted it to be the work of the devil. No one knows one way or the other but she obviously had some sort of magical belief. She was known to wear an amulet made from parchment but is said to have actually been the shriveled caul of an infant. A caul would be the covering over the head of an infant at birth. This was according to Valentine Penrose, the author of “The Bloody Countess” and Donald Glut who wrote “The Dracula Myth” in 1971. They included a chapter solely about Bathory. Most of the ideas about her bathing in blood or even drinking blood came well after her death and much of it in very modern times out of books such as these mentioned. It seemed to reinforce this idea when they made a movie called Countess Dracula.

There is no reason to believe her cohorts were not following her orders and used as scapegoats or used the circumstances to fulfill their own sadistic thirsts. People were in awe of her, her beauty and cruelty. Her family was very powerful in the area. If one didn’t do what she said they might end up being tortured or killed, which in this case was the end result. Instead of pointing the finger where it most likely should have gone these others who were servants or from her tenant farms were being represented in some cases as witches and instigators. No one knows what she offered them or if she seduced any of them.

It is presumed that her activities were either unknown or perhaps literally ignored by Count Cuyorgy Thurzo who at the time was the Palatine of Hungary, because they were cousins. It is suspected he may have known of some of her crimes but he was unable to stop her. When she had moved back to the castle she had a new friend, Anna Davula who was a well known sadist and aided in many of her worst atrocities that were perpetrated in her castle. Anna died in 1609 and it was then she had a new accomplice named, Ersi Majorova who was the widow of one of her tenant farmers. Some believe she encouraged Elizabeth to take daughters of nobles who were not wealthy. This led to an investigation and the arrest of a number of people.

Even though these new girls were also poor they came from aristocratic families and their disappearances did not go unnoticed. Count Thurzo tried to quietly arrest his cousin when the King of Hungary gave the order. This was partly to save face for his family. He went to the castle in the night during Christmas when the parliament was not in session due to the holiday. He had wanted to handle the affair as discreetly as possible. Three were arrested and one got away but was captured later. Elizabeth Bathory was not taken away from her castle but held there. They related that there was a dead girl in the hallway, some strewn around the place and others in holding cells waiting to be tortured; some of which were actually children. Those arrested were Dorothea Szentes, who was the previous wet-nurse for her children, nicknamed Dorka, Johannes Ujvary, called Ficzko, Helena Jo and Katarina Beneczky. Erszi Majorova originally escaped but was apprehended.

The first trial was rushed and those in custody were convicted. They had appeared to have confessed to their crimes under duress after being tortured and possibly forced to make up things that never happened. Another servant had testified at the second trial that Elizabeth had kept an accounting of all that were killed and they numbered over 650 girls. Although the list was never retrieved and produced all the servants were convicted but Katarina Beneczky. She was exonerated by the testimony of Suzanna the servant who had previously testified in court. The tremendously high number of murders claimed, have not been proven to be more than here-say because no documents were ever brought into court. Everything was from the account of one person who testified and quite possibly under the threat of being brought up under more scrutiny herself by the court.

Elizabeth was not tried for her crimes at either of these trials. She did try to escape but her cousin brought her back and made her stay in her castle at Cachtice. “While he was probably shocked by the extent of the Countess' deeds, the King's desire for justice was almost certainly in part due to a large debt incurred against Ferenc in his lifetime. Elizabeth's conviction would have allowed the King to not only write off that debt, but also to seize the Nadasdy lands, and those held by Elizabeth as a Bathory. Consequently, the Bathorys must have brought all of their considerable influence to bear to keep that from happening.”1

Elizabeth’s family boarded her up in her room at the castle with only enough room for the servants to pass food through and allow for outside light. She was known to be one of the most beautiful women of the region despite all she had done. She was still considered quite beautiful even at the age of fifty-four in August of 1614. Her son spoke for her for clemency but her daughter refused to speak to her or allow her to see her grandchildren. Her son was her only heir.

One of her guards got curious and took a peek into the room and saw her face down on the floor dead after three and a half months of confinement to her rooms. Her plates of food had gone untouched. They had wanted to bury her near the castle but those living in the area refused to let them do so, because it was known what she had done in the castle and they especially didn’t want her buried there in consecrated ground. The family thought she might have her grave vandalized so they buried her near where she was born.

Supposedly as I have mentioned previously, some of the stories told about Elizabeth Bathory are believed to be purely myth, such as the fact that she bathed in blood. According to the BBC there was no evidence ever brought forth at the time to support this later claim. When they researched her life they felt that her sexual orientation had nothing to do with any of the crimes and her behavior was solely due to her sadistic tendencies, in other words she was a psychopath. Some had to do with the attitude of the times dealing with peasants. They did not regard their lives of much consequence so it was only after she started to torture and kill nobility that something was done about her heinous deeds.

Also they have noted that her behavior could not be chalked off as some complication of her having supposed epileptic attacks. Even with her rages she still managed to torture these girls for long extended periods of time. It was cold and calculated and she derived pleasure from it. It is said she sold two castles so she could support this fiendish pastime. When her accomplices, servants and others were arrested she proclaimed her innocence but there were too many implements of torture in her dungeon for people to believe her claims not to mention all of those who witnessed the crime scene that came to make an arrest not to mention the victims, some already dead around the castle. She was saved from execution by the fact she was an aristocrat and was immune by law from prosecution. The family put on pressure that no law would be enacted to exempt this fact and strip her of her titles so as to keep the money within the family.

There is no true evidence that she ever bit anyone, nothing more than she had to change her clothing due to blood stains in any documentation there is to be found. She was not a vampire; it is what is called an urban legend. According to Katherine Ramsland, the author J. Gordon Melton stated that “no testimony was offered at Báthory's trial regarding her supposed habit of bathing in the blood of her victims. No one raised the issue and no one reported it. Yet the records of the trial were sealed at the time so as not to embarrass the Hungarian aristocracy. No one among them was even allowed to mention her name.”3 He goes on to state that it was Laszlo Turáczi who was a collector of folklore who started the rumor that Elizabeth bathed in blood. Later writings came up in more contemporary times when there were vampire scares in Europe and suddenly writers were claiming she drank blood and had to have been a vampire even though there is no shred of evidence that she ever drank blood. Another reason for this belief was the fact that in Bram Stoker’s book Dracula, when the vampire drank blood he became younger in appearance. Some have extrapolated this to the legend of Elizabeth Bathory and the idea that she bathed in blood in the hopes of retaining her youthful appearance. It wasn’t until the 70s that two authors were making the connection to vampires concerning Bathory. They know that Baring-Gould was a source of materials for the Dracula book, but her book was on werewolf legends and it is believed that this accounts for the shape shifting idea into a wolf and the fangs of the vampire Stoker created. Prior to that there was no connection of fangs to vampires. Regardless of any unfounded legends concerning the Countess, it still seems very apropos to give her the title of "The Blood Countess."

How does the Herd Mentality

Affect the Vampire Culture?

It looks good, it sounds good and they are professing the right things. They have a great website and they are getting to know all the right people. The word rings out, join! The problem is, does the fluff make up for being exploited by someone who is an attention seeker and nothing of what they say? Perhaps they have been known in the community prior but have tuned out for a long time for whatever reason. In the interim, their online hierarchy has learned the nature of the person and who and what they really are and who they are not so they reject them but don’t pass it around the gamut of people involved in said subculture. This person will regroup and start another organization and offer tantalizing items to attract attention and get new converts. Their whole persona takes on a new face to attract a new and even old group of people with the same erroneous ideas and fakery but to do that by appealing to the “cool” factor.

This happens all the time, but generally certain people in particular and unless people are blinded to what is going on it can only be accounted for by the “herd mentality” and a yearning to be apart of something, anything even if they know it is fake. Don’t we ever question anything or just those that tend to be conflicting to accepted viewpoints? The vampire subculture is permeated with a myriad of people pretending to be something they are not, others who want to be in the forefront which appears to be a control issue and a variety of attractors. Many are saying all they want is to help the community but it is based solely on whether those they are helping have arrived at the same conclusions concerning the vampire and the origins, feeding and general beliefs they have in common regardless of their veracity.

When you see one group using a certain type of organizational set-up, it is like dominos lined up and all of them fall in line together. It is the way to do things and the way to name things and of course we need some sort of rules. Rather than being individual certain people decide to create something and whether one likes it or not it becomes the holy writ of the culture. It is the same for anyone else in the community that writes something or creates something others think are “cool” and the queue is formed and everyone wants to follow the leader. The most interesting factor is how the individuals get deemed the leader? I call it schmoozing. Obviously they wrote books, were seen on television or created groups on any one of the social sites. They may have merely created their own website with bells and whistles.

The sad thing is that because of this mentality anyone can come onto the internet and proclaim to be a sovereign of some ancient council or order and in the know and if it sounds legitimate it is accepted every single time. The networking begins and all of a sudden this person becomes well known in the culture and voila this legitimizes them even if they are attention seekers and opportunists and nothing more. There are the rare cases where this doesn’t happen in one segment of the subculture. These zealous few are trying to warn others. The group is labeled a cult but only certain individuals pay much attention to the warnings because after all, the group is “so cool” and you know from past lives that this is the group for you.

Frederick Nietchze is the first person to coin the term “herd mentality,” which was a phrase that meant people are influenced by the larger group to think or behave in a certain way. Herds can be large or small depending on the subject but are in all cases, the many following the few or those that stand out in the crowd by providing the “bling” whether they are charlatans or sincere. This is pervasive in the vampire community and many times it is due to sex appeal. Sometimes it is because the individual becomes a celebrity in some way. There are devotee’s to the vampire culture and those that hate people of this type but in every case, there are followers regardless of the credentials of the person involved. Often, that is never asked because the superficial persona seems to fit in keeping with the culture. Therefore they get included in a long list of approved groups.

It is a sad example to the community as well as the public at large and especially when it is blatant the person, leader or Elder if they go by such a name, is pathological. They are living in a fantasy world of their own making and they are infecting those they come in contact with, with their own brand of nonsense. Yet, people line up and follow them and even venerate them somewhat. It is astonishing this goes on, on a daily basis. Some use the woes me factor that they have been mistreated and usurped by others. The real truth being that the light came on and realization that they were duped has made them furious. They wonder when the others will see the light but knowing that isn’t going to happen. Why, you ask? The reason is the word “drama.” These days, people hate the waves and it takes tidal waves to bring down a phony in the vampire subculture. Attempting such an act will only get the person trying to make people realize the nature of the situation labeled a “troublemaker.” Therefore the credibility of the vampire subculture will always be in question until such time as they stop and take another path and quit going over the cliff with the rest of the buffoons.
