"As a final test, the living goddess must spend a night alone in a room among the heads of ritually slaughtered goats and buffaloes without showing fear."


this ritual comes from a people who used to engage in Sati, the belief that a woman should burn herself alive on her husband's funeral pyre upon his death. That ritual is now dead in Hindu society, but I feel that the more prosperous India becomes the more of their older less humane rituals will eventually leave their religion.

Thats some heavy shit. I read about the goats and buffalos. but the thing about burning your ass on the grave is hardcore. i mean to know death is coming is one thing, but to not know whether you will burn or die naturally is just insane. fuck.

I had to take a religion course last year and that shit still exists in some places. It is illegal but their was evidence sati was committed as late as 2006.
