Since the existence of human civilization, many rituals have been done. Starting from simple rituals such as worship to a terrible ritual that concerns a person's life. Some rituals have not been done, but it turns out there are weird and taboo rituals that are still done until now. Here are strange cultural rituals that still occur and exist until now.

Timite

Fire Walk Rite

Timiti is a ritual walking on fire in Hindu festivals dating from Tamil Nadu, South India. Maybe you've seen it in Indonesia, whether it's in the movie or in real because this ritual also exist in Indonesia.

This ritual is also still happening in the celebrated Nine Emperor Gods festival in Penang, Malaysia. One of the rituals of purification includes walking on fire with bare feet. They believe that fire will cleanse uncleanness and fight evil from their bodies. So walking on fire symbolizes the power of men and how strongly they desire to free themselves from evil.

Child Sacrifice Uganda

The human sacrifice ever made by the Aztecs is an act of lawlessness over humanity today. But in the early 21st century, Uganda re-emerged this by sacrificing small children. Government investigations found that this ritual was more frequent than was imagined.

This is apparently done by politicians and rich people as a belief in the practice of voodoo and traditional religions (formerly). It has become a commercial undertaking. Although many people criticize this, this ritual is still done because of the lack of official financing to oppose this. Actually child sacrifice is not a cultural ritual, it is called so as a tool for the government not to take action and defense for people who do it.
