Finally, there is another way of looking at the mask as a means of symbolizing the transcendental source, deeper spiritual energies that via individuation form the Self in the first place, meaning that the mask becomes a variation on symbolism for the alchemical First Matter from which everything originated, otherwise also symbolized by the Hermetic androgyne Rebis (that finds another symbolic interpretation in the Greek myths of how Zeus was born and married his own mother) that is closely associated with Antimony a.k.a. Magnesia, leaden Marcasite, black earth with white eyes - all symbols that have to do with the rejection of the bodily bindings and transcendence. (via -the-black-mask) -- source link
