    Still, chanting at a magical fairy when you are 12 doesn’t make anyone a man. It’s an outdated tribal rite of passage at best, and a superstition with potential for horrendous implications in general.

      Definitely a tribal rite of passage in need of updating to remain relevant. I do take umbrage with the chanting at a magical fairy. That’s far more a chrisitian thing. But what are the horrendous implications?

        My guy it’s just a ritual to signify the progression of age and a child becoming old enough to take on more responsibility and exert more autonomy of their choices.

        You’re way overthinking and projecting way too much on this.

        Yes, religion sucks and is unnecessary, but this particular ritual is little more than an acknowledgement of growing older. It’s basically “Jewish sweet 16.”
