1. Blood Initiation
via news2.onlinenigeria.com
Another ritual in Papua New Guinea, this Matausa rite attempts to rid the boy of all female influences, supposedly infantilizing. He must use thin reeds to induce vomiting, emptying the contents of his stomach (a mother’s cooking, for example.) Then, similar reeds are inserted into his nose for him to further expel bad influence. After this is completed, he is stabbed several times in the tongue, letting blood and purifying him. Only after all of this is complete is the Matausa boy truly a man, with the vigor and strength of his forefathers.
