Off the top of my head i can share info related to why young people in the Aboriginal

culture in Australia get painted on is because it is believed the ancestors are protecting

them /e.g. it is a form of spiritual protection from evil>>> that's what i was taught as a

child, as we grow older we are taught a more in-depth purpose for the ritual>>>being

painted is seen by the young ones and their family as an honor it is also is a

sacred tradition performed regularly in our culture by the elders

>>I hope this has given you a shimmer of light towards the answer to your

question : )

This knowledge was past onto me it is not from a book this is a custom practiced by my

ancestors in South Australia
