[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3079672, member: 34175"] Here are some rituals and religious views: 1) Coming of age (The naming ceremony)- An adolescent child is brought to the village elder (or council) after fasting for three days. The elder takes the child into the sacred tecnt/hut/mound and casts a series of divination spells and performs time honored rites to discern the "true" name of the child. Upon exiting the structure the child now has their adult name and is excpeted into the tribe as an equal. 2) Long Day - A celebration of the nature god. The tribe stops work and has a series of celebratory games and feasting. (similar to a market day for a "civilized" town) If other tribes are nearby, they may join together for this one day (even warring tribes will lay down arms and feast at the same floor). 3) War rites - A tribe entering battle must first be blessed by the priests/shamansof the god of war. Each warrior is blessed to receive success in battle and deliverance if they should be slain. After battle any new warriors (first battle) are lifted up as they carry on the warrior spirit of the tribe. 4) Harvest - A day of drinking and community service. After weeks of clearing the fields and storing the goods for winter and a day of drinking and celebration is held to thank the earth gods for sustaining the life of the tribe. 5) Judgement - Any crime is brought before the elder/chief/council and judged by the tossing of the bones/runes/sticks. The divine guidance shows whether the person is guilty or innocent. Guilty verdicts result in punishment ranging from re-payment for stolen property; exile for undermining the authority of the council/elder/chief or ignoring their civic responsibilities (such as hunting or gathering); to death for more serious offences. Torture is also a good way to build role-playing opportuinites (strung up for 10 days without food or water for example). [/QUOTE]
