Today is quit a different post than my other ones. I honestly had no idea what i can possibly write about, while googling for some ideas i came across some very strange 'Cultural Practices'. Some of these actually gave me the chills, so of course i thought why not share it with the steemit community !! These are my top 3 hope you enjoy.
The Cutting of fingers (Dani Tribe)
So while we normally just grief when losing a loved one. The woman of the Dani tribe take it a bit further, when a loved one is lost they will show their grief by cutting of a segment of their finger!!
The finger is first tied with a string for 30 mins to numb them and then when it is amputated the new finger tip is burn to create new scar tissue.
After Marriage no using the toilet ?
So this one i found quit strange since going to the toilet is a very natural and normal thing, however Tidong people of Borneo are not allowed to use the bathroom for 3 days after the wedding !
This is believed to be a bonding method as well it is believed if it is not done they will suffer with infertility, death of their children as well as have a broken marriage.
Massai Tribe of Kenya
If i meet someone and and they spit at me when I said hello i will feel pretty discussed. But for this tribe spitting is a way of saying hello. When a baby is born men will also spit on him and refer to him as bad in a way to protect the baby from evil spirits.
