During the Indian Navjote ceremony, the ritual rite of passage where the person is accepted into the Parsi community, a priest ties a sacred thread around the child’s waist as he or she chants the Ahuna-Vairya (ancient prayers).

Transition

“Ashforth, Kreiner, and Fugate (2000) discuss transition rituals in the context of “rites of passage” in the following excerpt: “Van Gennep (1960) defined rites of passage as rituals or ceremonies that facilitate movement of one or more individuals from one role to another. Rites may include the presence and involvement of others, the manipulation of emotionally charged symbols (e.g., settings, props, clothing), and more or less formulaic behavior. The rites signal, both to the individual and to members of the applicable role set(s), the change in roles and associated identities…Van Gennep’s (1960) rites of passage comprise three types: rites of separation, which facilitate role exit; rites of transition, which facilitate psychological (and, if appropriate, physical) movement; and rites of incorporation, which facilitate role entry…Psychological and physical movement are facilitated by rites of transition…commuting can be viewed as a rite of transition involving temporal and spatial boundaries” (pp. 478-479). (Desrochers).”

The Phenomenon of Ecstasy, photomontage by Salvador Dali (1933)

“…The image originally followed a text by Dali on the apparently irrational component of art nouveau architecture, parts of which alluded to sculptural details of girls and angels in rhapsodic abandon on the buildings of Antoni Gaudi. ‘Continuous erotic ecstasy,’ wrote the artist, leads to ‘contractions and attitudes without precedence in the history of statuary.’ He continued in a sub-section also entitled ‘Phénomène de l’extase’ that, ‘The repugnant can be transformed into the beautiful,’ through such ecstasy. The transformation of the perception of art, architecture and most other forms of modern life was thus dependent upon the continuous excitation of such ecstasy…”

— Robert James Belton, The Beribboned Bomb: The Image of Woman in Male Surrealist Art, p. 249.
