The Initiation pathway is the first doorway we step through inside...

The Dassanech man dressed for the Dimi ritual—the initiation ceremony that marks the passage to adulthood and celebrates fertility—typically wears highly symbolic attire. The initiate wears traditional furs or fabrics, beaded necklaces, and sometimes a headdress made of feathers or animal skin. He also carries a ceremonial staff or spear, and his body may be decorated with clay or ash. The entire ensemble represents strength, maturity, and a connection to the ancestors during Dimi. #fblifestylet
