I just saw something on Taboo (Channel 5) which is highly gross! I'm not trying to be a racist against religion, but whatever I saw was highly eerie and definately not the faint hearted. I went online to find some pictures to post here for a better explanation of whatever I saw. I almost puke watching this!

Have anyone of you heard of Crocodile Scarring? *View this video: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/places/regions-places/australia-and-oceania/newguinea-crocscars-pp.html*

More about Crocodile scarring:
This is what a believer in Crocodile Scarring said, "In Papua New Guinea, scarification is usually related to initiation. In the middle Sepik region, it is believed that migrating ancestral crocodiles established human populations. During the wagan initiation ceremony which celebrates the return of the ancestral crocodile, young men from this region are initiated into manhood. The skin on the chest, back and buttocks of the initiate is cut with a bamboo sliver to test their physical strength and self-discipline. The scars, when healed, represent the teeth marks of the crocodile that has swallowed the initiates who are reborn as crocodile-men.

The ceremonies and the initiation scars, or marks, were part of my induction into manhood and training in the ways of Sharmanic healing and medicine."




What do you think of it? You can go google more about it.

Work was getting better today. And slight quarrells arose among my colleagues. Quite scary as I don't see this for such a long time. I miss my clique in my "2nd home"! ): I'm going for training tomorrow after work and training on Saturday night! :D I'm feeling so super elated!!
