Gotta agree with y' there Tuesday. But the benefit these tribal doods have above us Westerners in relation to 'individuation' are their 'rites of passage.' Our culture doesn't have them anymore. I imagine y' know: rites of passage are powerful psychological events, death-experiences no less. The xtian church with its fear of death stopped such rites. We need them - for without them the ego grows, unchallenged, not knowing its place, 'I/me/mine' can get way-too-big and power-freaks blossom.

One thing we can be pretty sure of, is that rites of passage occurred in pre-xtian Britain, just as it did in just about every other traditional culture on Earth. And where did such rites sometimes take place? Megalithic sites.
