Rituals/ Initiations myths

Tuesday we discussed rituals and initiations for many cultures, some more intense than others, but none the less, they are still important! The rain- making ritual came up the most often, as Dr. Sexson also stated in class multiple times, similar to the way the Earth- Diver myths came up frequently in our creation myths.
