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 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.
