Initiation

Initiation means the introduction of an outward into a community or its ascent into another personal state of being, for example from child to adult, from novice to nun or from layman to shaman. The most important social initiation is the puberty and tribal initiation of tribal society and the initiation of the ancient mystery cults. Thus, it essentially derives from the archaic past. The initiation follows a traditional rite. The ritual for admission into a spiritual order is also called ordination. Transitions were first studied by the social sciences, first by Arnold van Gennep. In the field of puberty and tribal initiation, Mircea Eliade is considered to be a breakthrough. Initiation bezeichnet die Einführung eines Außenstehenden in eine Gemeinschaft oder seinen Aufstieg in einen anderen persönlichen Seinszustand, beispielsweise vom Kind zum Erwachsenen, von der Novizin zur Nonne oder vom Laien zum Schamanen. Die sozialgeschichtlich wichtigste Initiation ist die Pubertäts- und Stammesinitiation der Stammesgesellschaft und die daraus hervorgegangene Initiation der antiken Mysterienkulte. Sie entstammt also im Wesentlichen der archaischen Vergangenheit. Die Initiation folgt einem traditionellen Ritus. Das Ritual zur Aufnahme in einen geistlichen Orden wird auch Ordination genannt. Übergangsriten wurden in den Sozialwissenschaften grundlegend zuerst von Arnold van Gennep untersucht. Auf dem Gebiet der Pubertäts- und Stammesinitiation gilt Mircea Eliade als bahnbrechend.
