Then Wednesday we went to see Belleniko’s cave. It included dancing in front of her “totem”, and some cardio training for our elder Bubba.

Carnival Month

This year we were coordinating the Carnival month in Amazon. It was a great carnival with a lot of participation from the tribe and the entire jungle.

The Float Parade Party Boat

We had the Feather Hunt, hosted by Namida, and the Masquerade hosted by the Xoco, and finally the big Float Parade and Pageant Contest.

A big thank you to all for participating from the Tapi Carnival Team!

Shaman Whispering Wind sacrifices the goat

Whispering Wind (Maryam Camino): Stands in front of the goat, closes eyes in a silent prayer and a shiver runs through her body
Whispering Wind (Maryam Camino): Takes a knife and holds the goats head firmly in one hand and in a decisive move, cuts the goats throat while saying, “Let the blood to flow freely onto the ground as a symbol of our offering to the gods.”
Whispering Wind (Maryam Camino): looks at the blood and says with gratitude, “May this blood satiate the soil of this jungle. We spill the blood to appease the evil spirits, so we can spread it around the jungle, as a symbol of protection and blessing.”

Summer with the goat’s blood
Atan with the goat’s liver

ATAN ‘IHΞYU (Aishe Aabye): /me takes the liver “let’s sacrifice the liver, the symbol of the spark of life” raises it in the air, offering it to the fire.
ATAN ‘IHΞYU (Aishe Aabye): /me starts praying, “O great gods of the jungle, we offer you this goat liver in humble appreciation of your benevolence. We thank you for all that you have given us and for your guidance.”
ATAN ‘IHΞYU (Aishe Aabye): “We ask for your blessings and protection for our tribe. May we continue to be prosperous, healthy, and safe. Guide us with your wisdom and provide us with the sustenance we need to thrive.”

Belleniko in a gruesome display, reading the goats intestine

Belleniko Resident: Oh Thou Who Art
 The creepiest, crawliest, chaotic creature that ever crept from a crypt;
Belleniko Resident: Oh Thou Who Art
 The terrifying, tenacious, turbulent, tumescent and tactless tumbler of temples;
Belleniko Resident: Oh Thou Who Art
 The horrifying, hideous, heart-freezing head-honcho of hangover hallucinations;
Belleniko Resident: Oh Thou Who Art
 The long-waiting, legendary, lethally lubricious liquescent lawgiver of laxative liturgy;
 Your servant call upon you!
Belleniko Resident: Oh Great Goat 
 Let me have a key from these bowels to foretell to this tribe any misfortune or nefariousness that will have to be faced this year
Belleniko Resident: She leans over the guts and starts to recognise a pattern 
 “Thank you Great Goat, with your blessing I can now interpret the loops of these intestines which reveal to me some certainties for this calendar year”

Belleniko Resident: shouts: here are the predictions
Belleniko Resident: – even during this year James will continue to say a lot of crap!
Belleniko Resident: – Belleniko will continue to use huge vegetables for sexual satisfaction as no one will dare fu…. her… especially after today’s performance!
Belleniko Resident: – In the fourth quarter of the year Regor will compare his male member with all the males of the tribe, discovering that he has the longest one of all
Belleniko Resident: – In June, Catten will be distracted again by the Lead Shaman’s Boobies and will fall into the river much to the delight of the crocodiles
Belleniko Resident: – next December Bubba will be a year older…  but how many do he have???
Belleniko Resident: – Naux will manage during an April Xoco Friday Party to pick the lock of Khaing’s loincloth, who will finally be pushed to show to the jubilant world her cute butterfly!
Belleniko Resident: – After the holidays, Maccus will recover from the shock of seeing his beloved goat killed by those wretched Tapis and will finally come out and mate with a black ram.
Belleniko Resident: Suddenly she rolls her eyes and lets out a heart-wrenching scream and breaks the connection with the Great Goat, collapsing into the bowels.

Naked Wednesday – The Butterfly Hunt, Part 1

This naked Wednesday was held a Thurday due to Second Life having issues. That just ment one more day spent together naked, so all in all it turned out great. 

Everyone bathed before the activity

As per traiditon we bathed first, then followed by a prayer by the shaman and then Belleniko had an activity for us to do. 

The Shaman prayed to the gods while we bathed

This Wednesdays activity was a butterfly hunt, where we learned the skills we will need for another Naked Wednesday. More on that to come.

Happy New Year!

What a 2022 we had! This was the first year with the nw tribe, and it’s been an exciting one to say the least. 

Going through the blog we have 63 entries, which is just crazy and it could have been a lot more if RL hadn’t throw a few curve balls our way. 

2023 is starting up, and we are already busy planning the big Amazon Carnival for February and Belleniko is braining storming on many naked Wednesday activities. 

Whispering Wind and Catten celebrating the new year

Thank you everyone that helped make all this possible. See you in the new year for many more fun roleplays.
