[b] 3. Bullet Ant Gloves

The most painful Initiation Ritual – For the Satere-Mawe tribe of the Amazon, you can’t become a man if you don’t take part in this ritual. When a young boy becomes sexually mature he goes out into the jungle with the Medicine man and other boys his age to find and gather bullet ants. The insect with the most painful sting in the world. The sting from these ants has been compared to a bullet hitting the flesh.

Te boys will gather the ants and the ants are then drugged by some herbs given to them by the Medicine Man. Later, while the ants are sleeping in their drug induced state, they are placed into a woven mesh glove with the stinger on the inside. When the ants wake up they find themselves trapped and become very angry and aggressive. The boys must put on the gloves and keep them on for about ten minutes while they do a dance to take their mind off the pain. Do you know the most shocking part of it all? here it is "the young men of the Satere-Mawe tribe must endure this pain 20 times before they can prove they are men".[/b]

Their own must be about shedding blood naa

4. Self-Flagellation

Shiite Muslims are well known for their martyrdom, and Ashura is no exception. Ashura is an event
recognized by many Muslims around the world for various reasons. For some Shiites, the day is observed in commemoration of the death of Imam
Hussein, a grandson of the prophet Muhammad, at the 7th century battle of Karbala. Hussein, along with his comrades, was repeatedly struck on the head with daggers.

Today, select men join a procession and flagellate themselves with daggers to the head, among other means, in order to pay tribute and absolve sin; people spill their own blood and those of their relatives to mourn the fact that they were not being present to
save Hussein.

These guys and blood sha.

[b] 6.

The Famadihana is a traditional festival which is celebrated in both urban and rural areas of the country especially in Madagascar; it is more popular among the tribal communities.
It is a funerary tradition, known as the turning of the bones, people bring forth the bodies of their ancestors from the family crypts and rewrap them in fresh cloth, then dance with the corpses around the tomb to live music.

In Madagascar this became a regular ritual usually once every seven years, and the custom brings together extended families in celebrations of kinship.

Actually it is occasion to give respect to the dead relative through the transfer of the bones to a permanent place of abode. The families of the razana contribute funds all year to celebratethe festival. The burial tomb is constructed; it is considered that it will place a link between the dead and the living.

The relatives of the dead dress well, go to the tomb, to see the remains of the deceased relatives and friends, all closed persons are invited to this event.People and relatives sing traditional songs and dance. The main motive behind the festival originated from the belief of the localpeople that the dead return to God and are reborn.[/b]

13. The sambian tribe: A tribe where boys below 12 are forced to drink the semen of elders

The Sambian tribe's sexual practices are more extreme than their Trobriand neighbors. Boys from Sambian society are removed from the presence of females at the age of seven, living in a community of only males for 10 years.

Their skin is pierced to remove "contamination" brought upon by interaction with women, and they consume large amounts of sugarcane to incur nose-bleeding and vomiting.

They drink the semen of their elders to retain growth, strength, and sexual potency, and when they are reintroduced to society, they continue their nose-bleeding habit to mirror their wives' menstrual cycle.

This particular tradition is a a bit too extreme. so, for the faint of heart, turn away now.

The Mardudjara Aborigines of australia shocking traditions

The Mardudjara Aborigines of Australia have one of the most shocking boyhood-to-manhood transformations out there.
At the age of 10 or 12, a boy has his front tooth knocked out and his septum pierced. He is considered symbolically dead at this point, and then he is taken into the wilderness by other men, circumcised, and then expected to ingest his foreskin without chewing. He is mute throughout the entire process.

Then his penis is cut lengthwise on the underside, He is the instructed to sit on a smoking fie for nothing less than an hour, the blood is dripped over the smoking fire to purify it, and from then on the male urinates from the underside of his penis.

Then all of the men go hunting, return to camp with food and covered in blood, and the boy is considered reborn as an adult male.

[b]15. The female Genital mutilation(FGM).

This is one of the oldest traditions still in practice till date by so many tribes across the globe.
Studies show that Africa has the greatest amount of FGM, as the World Health Organization believes that somewhere between 100 million and 140 millon women and girls about have undergone the surgery throughout the world, 92 million of them over the age of ten living in Africa.

Female Genital Mutilation has been outlawed in Britain, Canada, France, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.

The following two maps show the percentages of women and girls in Africa from the ages of 15-49 who have undergone a FGM surgery. (picture 1)


Types of FGM

There are three general types of FGM that a woman can have done to her. Girls anywhere from infancy to adulthood can have this practice done in any of the three types.

1.Sunna Circumcision (Type I)- The tip of a woman's clitoris is shaved or cut off. The word "sunna" refers to Muhammed's early tradition of the practice. This form of Female Genital Mutilation can be found in many countries in both East and West Africa, and countries in the Middle East. ( picture number 2)

2.Clitoridectomy (Type II)- This form of Female Genital Mutilation involves the partial or even entire removal of a woman's clitoris, as well as the woman's labia. Clitoridectomies most often occur in places where Infibulation (or Type III) has been banned. (picture 3)

3. Infibulation or Pharaonic Circumcision (Type III)- This most drastic form of FGM is the removal of the clitoris and labia, with the remaining skin streched across the vagina from both sides and stitched together with either thread, thorns or catgut. This leaves only a small opening through which the woman can urinate, and which menstural blood can come through. A woman with this third form of FGM has her previously sewn shut vagina opened as to allow her to have intercourse with her new husband, and then has it sewn back up in order to ensure that she is loyal to her husband. (picture 4)

Wow!

17. Crucifixion In The Philippines

One of the devotional practices held every Good Friday as part of the local observance of Holy Week in the Philippines is Crucifixion.
Penitents and devotees are willingly crucified in imitation of Jesus Christ’s suffering and death; other related practices are carrying of the wooden crosses, crawling on rough pavement, and self-flagellation.

Penitents considered these acts to be mortification of the flesh, and undertake these to ask forgiveness for sins, to fulfil a panatà (Filipino, “vow”), or to express gratitude for favours granted.

18. Sherpa Women are allowed to take Multiple Husbands

Polyandry is practiced by Sherpa women which involves marriage that includes more than two partners refers to sexual relations with multiple males within or without marriage.
This is mostly practiced in societies with very few resources, where one woman is or can be married to multiple husbands who are actually brothers. It also serves as a woman’s protection in case something happens to any of her husbands.

An interesting fact: while Polyandry is a common practice in Nepal among the Sherpas, Polygamy is prohibited.
