                    Initiation     kate bodyinmotion

November 19, 2007

 Malawi, along with neighbors Zambia and Mozambique, have male secret societies called the Gule Wamkulu. It is the members of these secret societies that dress in costume, unknown men inside, to attend rites representing Mother Earth, the British Colonialist, and…the fire dancer?

 The fire dancer, Maninja, attends initiation rites demonstrating the dangers of playing with fire, i.e. HIV but somehow I think there was some prior meaning.

We were told that in Malawi, between colonization, Westernization, and urbanization, these rites aren’t practiced so much anyone. But not three days later, driving through the Zambia bush, we saw the fire dancer running along the side of the road to a ceremony.

True adventures and non-adventures of an aid worker. Have lived in France, South Africa, Niger and currently the Democratic Republic of Congo, but the USA is my home. I tend to avoid preppy bars and rebel movements
