Initiation rites in African traditional Religion?

This Amazon tribe performs an initiation ritual where young men really place their hands into mittens filled with hundreds of bullet ants. The bite is approximately 20 times more painful than being stung by a wasp. The tribal men will gather the ants and submerge them into a solution that temporarily knocks them out. The ants are then woven into the mittens. Upon waking up, the men will place their hands into the mittens and dance for 10 minutes. The ant's sting prevents the body from protecting itself from pain. In Brazil's Amazon jungle, coming of age involves putting a type of liquid from a root directly into their eyes. This is a extremely painful experience, but it helps to improve their vision and enhance the senses. they go out hunting at night, using their very sharp eye sight to hunt. In the African Okrika tribe, girls from the age of 14 to 16 enter into "fattening rooms" where they are fed and pampered to fatten them. They are taught by the elderly women of the tribe to sing the traditional Iria songs. It is believed among these people that young girls form romantic attachments to water spirits.
