Completion of initiation in the traditional societies

This article describes the features of the completion of initiation, the opposite to the original, a way of the existence of the initiated, who has turned from a victim into a sacrifice maker. The individual who completes initiation is a winner or plays the role of a winner in a battle with a ritual enemy, who assimilates in one form or another after victory. Passing initiation together individuals become social brothers being a part of a cohesive group such as “partnership.” As a rule, the passage of initiation is accompanied by acquisition of the spiritual patronage, which is associated, at least in some cultures, with the cult of the relics sympathetically linked to the spiritual patron. The ritual feast completes the initiation and it is the beginning of the existence of the initiated in a new social status.
