This is a traditional Chinese Nuo opera mask (傩戏面具), heavily utilized in ancient exorcism rituals and theatrical performances across southern China.
Nuo masks represent gods, ancestral spirits, or benevolent demons. They are used to ward off evil spirits, pestilence, and bad luck while invoking blessings and prosperity.
This specific mask features the fierce, exaggerated facial characteristics typical of a martial deity or protector spirit. It features prominent bulging eyes, stylized swirling eyebrows, flared nostrils, and an open mouth displaying sharp fangs.
Master artisans hand-carved these masks out of solid wood, typically using lightweight and durable timber like poplar or willow.

Evening #BlueSky 🫖 “This has to work, it’s just GOT to” thought the priest. Did it? 😳 (Alt for more) Have a great rest of your day friends ☺️ #31DaysOfHalloween #Photography #PhotographyOfBlueSky #ClassicMono #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Exorcism #Ireland #Church #AltText #PhotographersUnited #Saturday

Our picture is a striking black-and-white photograph of a modern church building taken from a low angle, giving it an imposing and dramatic presence here in my Irish village.

The structure features smooth, pale walls that meet at a sharp corner, with a large dark cross affixed to one side. The cross has a textured, metallic look, its edges outlined by shadow.

To the right of the cross, a tall window of dark glass panes reflects fragmented lines, possibly from the interior structure. The ceiling above is ridged concrete, leaning inward to create a claustrophobic sense of enclosure.

The picture is in a classic monochrome style has finished off with a white border frame.

And now for our story

I call this, The Failed Exorcism.

The church stood silent in the storm’s electric breath, its cross catching only flickers of lightning. Inside, Father Marek’s voice trembled with each Latin syllable, his hand quivering as he pressed the crucifix to the woman’s forehead.

She writhed on the stone floor, her eyes rolled white, her mouth a hollow scream that never seemed to end. For hours they battled, prayer against whisper, faith against fury.

The air grew heavy with the smell of iron and candle wax melting too fast. Every window rattled as if unseen fists pounded from outside,or perhaps from within.

When the wind stopped, there was only the sound of breathing. Hers first. Then his. Then something else,like a sigh from the rafters, long and satisfied.

Father Marek blinked, sweat dripping from his brow. The woman lay still, her chest rising faintly. He dared to believe it was over, that the darkness had left her.

But as he gathered his Bible, her voice returned,not as a scream, but as a whisper from behind him.

“Thank you, Father,”she said, though her lips did not move.

And when he turned, he saw his own shadow stretching across the wall, the cross above it trembling ever so slightly,as if it, too, knew that faith had failed.

Sleep well friends

'Exorcising A Spirit', a humorous mid-Victorian (I think) illustration but I'm not sure of the artist nor whence it comes. Something tells me the startled lady doesn't actually need exorcising. #PhantomsFriday #Victorian #exorcism #ghosts

A priest holding up a cross, and numerous men and boys have burst through the door into a crypt focusing on a rather bemused looking lady who is sitting there.
