Today was the initiation ceremony for our newest Elder, Kwanita.
It was a great ceremony, and while some missed Bubba’s holding one of his great speeches others though that the speech elder Catten made was equally good!

Naked Wednesday was in honour of inti this time. We all met in the beautiful cave, Summer had decorated for the event.
Once everyone had settled, it was time to get our hair painted in the red colour of the sun.
After most had their hair coloured red, it was time for a series of rituals. Atan said a prayer and then Summer and Whisper put Bubba’s wedding bowl together again so he could remarry.
Belleniko entertained with stories of Bubba’s marriage before we head to the Xoco sacred circle to continue the celebration.
Thank you everyone for participating!
Monday we had Stephen and Daniel return to build an outhouse, according to the Shamans specifications.
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.
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.
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!
This Wednesday we continued the butterfly hunt from two Wednesdays ago. We captured many butterflies and released them all to the gods after the hunt.
This Wednesday we had a new year ritual. It was a lot of fun for everyone, except the poor goat!
Bubba Oh: “My Tapi Family!”
Bubba Oh
Bubba Oh: “Friends!”
Bubba Oh: “Citizens of the jungle!”
Bubba Oh: “Carnival is soon upon us! And Carnival brings the new year.”
Bubba Oh: “It has always been a Tapirapé custom to greet the new year, and honor the Gods with a sacrifice”
Bubba Oh: “To give thanks for our prosperity and to ensure the Gods favor for the comming year”
Bubba Oh: “We Tapi are obedient to the Gods, andd we have always honored them and their Seeker daughters”
Bubba Oh: “Today we offer up the healthy and well groomed goat!”
Bubba Oh: “May its strong loins please Mama Allpa!”
Bubba Oh: “May it’s well kept fur please Mama Cocha!”
Bubba Oh: “May it death please Supay!”
Bubba Oh: Raises his hands
Bubba Oh: “Tapirapé! May the new year bring us prosperity!”
Bubba Oh: The elder leaves the dais
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
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.”
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
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 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
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.
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.
As per traiditon we bathed first, then followed by a prayer by the shaman and then Belleniko had an activity for us to do.
This Wednesdays activity was a butterfly hunt, where we learned the skills we will need for another Naked Wednesday. More on that to come.
This Wednesday, the jungle took to the skies as sister Belleniko treated us all to an exciting Balloon Race for naked Wednesday.
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.
Thank you everyone that helped make all this possible. See you in the new year for many more fun roleplays.
Today was the blessing for Kwanita and Dom’s baby, Wakiza. It was a great ceremony by the water with both family and friends attending.
Bubba Oh: Looks to the parents and the child
Bubba Oh: Looks to all the assembled
Bubba Oh: “Now Tapis! Xocos! Guests”
Bubba Oh: “A human life is like the mighty river, that nourishes us all! It starts like a little stream in the mountains – born from dew”
Bubba Oh: “It flows and gathers strength with time!”
Bubba Oh: So your life and Doms life started Dear sister Kwanita!”
Bubba Oh: “Like the mighty river we are all standing by – yours and Dominics flowed past the love temple!”
Bubba Oh: “And you two have now sprouted a little stream!”
Bubba Oh: “And today we are gathered here to witness this new life, this new river – this new Tapi receive his name!”
Bubba Oh: “His little stream – his water of life will mix with ours! It will wind and flow like the mighty Amazon!”
Bubba Oh: “May he bring joy and pleasure – wisdom and fecundity – like this our river! And may we too contribute to the flow of his life!”
Bubba Oh: “I have no more words… May the mighty river and Mama Cocha guide us all!”
Bubba Oh: nods thoughtfully and steps away!
