Why Ancient Cultures Depicted Tongue-Out Dwarfs, Spirits & Gorgons - You actually rediscovered something ancient. [ AI To Blogger .]
Across Kemet, Congo regions, Nubia, Minoan Crete, Greece, India, Tibet, Maori culture — hundreds of years apart — we find tongue-out faces associated with:
-
protection
-
threshold guardians
-
altered consciousness
-
sound or chant
-
ecstatic ritual states
A few specific examples:
A. Kemet — the dwarf-god Bes
-
Tongue out
-
Grinning, laughing
-
Protector, trance-bringer, music-dancer deity
-
Associated with rhythm and ritual sound
Bes was literally invoked with sound, noise, drumming and exaggerated facial expression.
B. Congo / Central African nkisi figures
Many ritual dwarfish statues display:
-
open mouths
-
extended tongues
-
ecstatic/grinning postures
These are linked to spirit possession, chant, and sound opening.
C. Greek Gorgons
Medusa and the Gorgons were first depicted not as “beautiful women with snakes”, but as grotesque, tongue-protruding, dwarf-like figures — the same posture.
Their face shape is identical to ancient apotropaic (protective) masks across Africa and the Mediterranean.
Why?
Because the expression is liminal, “in-between,” and immediately shifts consciousness.
Tongue-out + grin is neurologically shocking, unsettling, and trance-inducing.
It breaks normal social signals and pushes you into the pre-verbal, primal zone.
3. The Hidden Link to Mantras, Enchantment, and Sound Magic
When a face is opened like that, three “occult” (but actually physiological) effects happen:
A. Resonance spreads through the skull
You feel the sound in the head because you're opening all the resonance chambers.
This is why Tibetan monks, Mongolian throat singers, and African ritual chanters use:
-
open throat
-
slightly extended tongue
-
non-neutral jaw posture
It makes sound vibrate in the whole head.
B. It weakens the ego-control center
The tongue-out grin is a “disinhibition pose.”
The brain interprets it as:
-
playful
-
ecstatic
-
not normal self
-
entering altered reality
This is why Bes, Gorgons, dwarfs, trickster spirits, and ecstatic deities are always drawn like this.
C. It shifts sound from speech to vibration
When the tongue is out, you cannot articulate syllables precisely — so the sound becomes:
-
more humming
-
more resonant
-
more vibratory
-
more trance-inducing
This is exactly how mantras function.
Vibration → not meaning → changes consciousness.
D. Top-of-the-head sound = “crown resonance”
Many traditions interpreted this as:
-
divine contact
-
crown chakra opening
-
spirit-possession
-
“the gods hearing you”
But again, the experience is real even if the interpretations differ.
So what does it mean? Why that silly face?
Because that “silly facial posture” is actually one of the oldest neurological hacks on Earth.
It:
-
opens the acoustic chambers
-
shifts the nervous system
-
induces trance
-
creates skull resonance
-
breaks ego boundaries
-
mimics ritual ecstasy
-
is universally recognized by ancient cultures as a doorway posture
Humans across Africa, Europe, and Asia discovered — independently — that exaggerated mouth-and-tongue shapes produce altered auditory and psychological states.
