AN OBSERVATION BY MADDY
“In our modern day culture,
there appears to be a distinct lack of ways in which to mark
Rites of Passage.
There comes, at certain points on the journey through life,
a Threshold,
accompanied by an instinctual feeling that this should be
remembered or celebrated in some way,
but which often remains unacknowledged within the
Western World.
Below are some of the events, that I consider to be
RITES OF PASSAGE:
BIRTH
ONSET OF THE MENSES
BREAKING OF THE VOICE
WEDDING/HANDFASTING
MOTHERHOOD/FATHERHOOD/PARENTHOOD
THE MENOPAUSE
ELDERHOOD
GRANDPARENTHOOD
BECOMING SPIRIT/DEATH
There are bound to be other milestones on the journey.
Perhaps on a more personal level and which signify
a new phase in someone’s life.
Experiences that you may feel are just as important,
to you, your family or friends,
and should also be recognized”.
