Are You Coming Into Manhood?
During adolescence, you go through a big transition ... and start taking on the responsibilities of an adult in your culture and society.
The formal process for this transition, where the wisdom of your tribe, congregation or culture is passed on goes by many different names ...
- Isuthu (Swahili)
- Bar Mitzvah (Hebrew)
- Hain (Selk'nam)
- Jeraeil (Kurnai)
- Jibauk (Kunlin)
But they all work at helping you come into manhood ... and take your place in society. From passing on the myths and secret knowledge of manhood and the male energy of creation ... to gaining access to insights about making a career, a home and a family -- the elders work to transmit to your the values and knowledge you need to succeed and thrive.
