Faces Born of Fire

What happens when fire and shadow marry? Their children are masks-and those masks hold the secret to human transformation. Deep in Korea's Gyeongsang mountains, where iron veins run through volcanic earth and every cave whispers with memory, a mythology was born that the modern world has nearly forgotten. This is the story of the Bul-tal the fire-born masks faces that emerged from smoke and ash to teach us the most dangerous and necessary truth: that we become who we truly are only when we pass through flames. Join mythologist and lecturer Jack Han in this hour-long journey through one of Korea's most extraordinary spiritual traditions. Discover the shaman So-rang, who learned to speak to fire and danced luminous through ruins. Meet the masks of resistance worn by underground revolutionaries who whispered, "e;The General burns again."e; Learn why miners bowed twice once for the living, once for the lost and what their lamp-eyed masks can teach us about honoring those who came before. This is not a lecture about ancient artifacts. This is a lecture about you about the ordeal that awaits us all, about the masks we wear and the ones we're afraid to show, about becoming luminous instead of being consumed. The fire is calling. The masks are waiting. Will you learn to speak to flames?
