Re: Stonekings Covering
In many cultures, particularly Semitic ones, there is a tradition that the wearing of headgear is a sign of humility. By not "showing yourself" you are assuming a humble posture. With your head covered and bowed (in prayer or submission) you are gesturing that you pose no threat to those around you. It is considered a sign of humility.
I suppose that it's because we humans have so many apparently contradicting customs for how we show submission that we usually assume a "shoot first, ask questions later" policy.
