Consider the similarities between a mask and a muzzle.
Understand that magick works on the subconscious level.
Less likely to talk/speak (out).
Physically, but also theoretically.
Subliminal messaging.
Visual reinforcement is constant.
Vulnerable, weak, scared.
The act of physically applying your own mask/muzzle (likely in a mirror - viewing) is incredibly disempowering.
This is not about health as much as people think.
