In this our post-post-modern age of "enlightenment", "advancement" and "rational thinking" that we generally follow as Westerners (you know, aside from the 31% of present day Americans who, according to Wikipedia, believe in Creationism. That's over 100 million people.) it is encouraging that many communities in Europe, the heart of Western Civilization, still dress up every year to follow the old ways of scaring away misfortune and blessing crops, babies and churches. Here in Australia, people have done an excellent job of homogenizing to the point where people only really get excited about immigrants, sport and century old wars that happened somewhere else. Watch this video. It is scary, it is gorgeous, it is disturbing and it is inspiring. Can't wait to get hold of the book myself.
