And when one speaks of the traditions of Europe one will most likely find that many people will not know what to say and pretend that they didn't hear you. Much goes over all kinds of people's heads. They won't want to listen so they will filter out what you say when you speak of the traditions of Europe. This has been my experience in America since I have returned. People don't want to know about what people all over the world have in common when it comes to traditions that go back before Christianity in lands where the swastika symbol has always been, but I've seen it on ancient stuff all over Europe. People don't want to hear about that aspect of Europe, they want to hear about other things like new age or whatever.

When one speaks about masks in Europe the most common response is people looking at you weird. People don't want to know about that aspect of Europe on a deeper level, but yet that is part of the language that Pahana speaks. And I'm not even sure that he would think that he is lost. He's not lost.
