Coming of Age

• Walkabout In the walkabout, adolescent Aborigine boys

are sent to live in the wilderness for as long as six months. It's not just about camping - they go on a spiritual journey to trace their ancestor's song lines, which include navigation instructions and other ancient wisdoms encoded in songs.

14

• Initiation with Bullet Ants To become men in Amazon's Satere Mawé tribe, boys as

young as twelve have to first wear ceremonial gloves filled with stinging bullet ants. They're called not bullet ants without a very good reason: being stung by these suckers feels very much like getting shot. Each ant packs neurotoxins that cause pain 30 times more agonizing than the sting of a common wasp. And if you think that's bad enough, wearing the gloves once just doesn't cut it - you have to wear it for 10 minutes 20 times to become a man ...

15

• Land Diving In the tiny South Pacific island of Pentecost, boys as young as

five years old engage in a tradition that can be best described as the ancient precursor to modern day's bungee jumping.

In Naghol (N'gol) or the land diving ritual, suicidally brave men jump from makeshift rickety towers as high as 100 feet up in the air with vines tied around their ankles. Land diving is kind of a multipurpose ritual: a rite of passage, a way to appease the gods to ensure a good yam harvest, and now, a tourist attraction.

16

• Igbo tribe This tribe in Nigeria once had a traditional coming-of-age ritual for both boys and girls. The "...male initiates spent the night with the Otu Umunne fathers at a designated location, while the

female initiates did the same with the Otu Umunne mothers" elsewhere. The children are taught teamwork, leadership, values, responsibilities, moral decisions, freedom, and valuing their heritage. Candles are lit, and prayers recited.

17

• Buddhism - Shinbyu Theravada boys, typically just under the age of 20 years old,

undergo a ceremony, where they are initiated into the Temple as Novice Monks. They will typically stay in the monastery for between 3 days and 3 years, most commonly for one 3-month "rainy season retreat", held annually from late July to early October. During this period the boys experience the rigors of an orthodox Buddhist monastic lifestyle – a lifestyle that involves celibacy, formal voluntary poverty, absolute nonviolence, and daily fasting between noon and the following day's sunrise.

Exercise 5• Describe these ceremonies.
