121 vision quest
Известен примерно у половины индейских племен, особенно у живших в районе Великих равнин [ Plains Indians]. Преследует цель заручиться поддержкой духа-покровителя [medicine animal, medicine]. По обряду, юноша уединяется на несколько дней без еды и питья в месте, якобы посещаемом духами, обычно в горах или у озера, где он молится, прося их о покровительстве. Обычно юноша впервые совершает этот обряд в период полового созревания, но иногда и в пятилетнем возрастеEnglish-Russian dictionary of regional studies > vision quest
