But I don't see the thing about masquerades with regards their connection to spirits.

Do masquerades have any connection to spirits ? As in, are they spiritual and can possess one - especially if you go close to them ?


I see it as just custume

It depends on the masquerade.

Back then I followed my cousin to go watch masquerade at Isiala Ngwa in Abia state. I saw masquerades competing on who has the strongest power. It was a festival of spiritual powers.

Forget, God did not retrieve all the devil's power before discarding him.

Some Masquerade are just for fun and entertainment.. But the real Masquerades are connected to spirits. Women are not allowed to see some specific Masquerade. While there are some Masquerades that Men are not allowed to see them.

There are also some powerful Masquerade that, normal Masquerade are not allowed to see them.

Masquerade pass Masquerade
