Nel centro della Sardegna in molti paesi a carnevale si possono vedere maschere antiche e primordiali, più che in ogni altra parte del mondo resistono e rinascono tradizioni ataviche che risalgono a migliaia di anni fa quando quest'isola con i suoi impenetrabili boschi millenari era ancora immersa in riti pagani ancestrali descritti da Sant'Agostino (IV secolo d.c.) dove si può rintracciare una sicura testimonianza dell'esistenza di maschere ferine e animalesche: ”Quale persona sensata potrebbe credere che vi siano degli individui sani di mente che si mascherano da cervi cambiando il proprio abito con quello delle bestie? Alcuni indossano pelli di pecora e di capra, altri si adattano sul capo teste di animali, felici ed esultanti, se riescono a trasformarsi in forme bestiali tanto da non sembrare più uomini” e poi: “si vestono con abiti bestiali simili alla capra e al cervo per farsi ad immagine del Dio, e resisi somiglianti fanno un diabolico sacrificio”, ci sono altre maschere che sembrano assomigliare a quelle sarde ma quello che contraddistingue il sardo da qualsiasi altro figurante e la ruvidezza d'animo degli uomini che paiono scaturiti dalla notte dei tempi. Gli Arestes di Sorgono sono uomini vestiti di pelli, carichi di ossi animali, col volto annerito dal sughero bruciato o coperto con una maschera nera, catturano e sacrificano la vittima predestinata, che viene generalmente presentata sotto forma di capro, toro, cervo cinghiale, tutte ipostasi o manifestazioni di Dionisio (greco) Maimone o Urtzu (Sardegna) che sotto questi aspetti si manifestava. Intorno al IV secolo, esistevano dunque maschere ferine o animalesche, tenace perdurare di evidenti manifestazioni pagane. Il mascherarsi con sembianze di animali, appariva agli occhi dei padri della Chiesa e dei rappresentanti del culto cristiano come un sacrilegio. Infatti il Concilio di Auxerre (585 d.C.) emanò una disposizione che vietava queste manifestazione rituali: non licet kalendis ianuarii vetola aut cervolo facere vel strenas diabolicus. Nonostante l'opera di evangelizzazione da parte degli ordini ecclesiastici, le cerimonie rituali si ripetono nei secoli, ancorché molti popoli, pur essendosi convertiti al cristianesimo, si mascheravano in forme animalesche al giungere delle calende di gennaio, riproponendo gli antichi rituali propiziatori pur consapevoli che tale cerimonia proveniva da una religione pagana.

I swear, dear Emme, that if we visit Sardinia with a soul sensitive to certain energies, it perceives the ancestral strength.... both in people and in places, even if those places have been deprived many centuries ago of their own wild forests.
