What reading level is Totemica a Supplement to Totemism And Exagamy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This fanning of the phallus is apparently the inner meaning of the hitting of trees, stamping of the ground and sweeping of the auwa (totem-centre) which usually accompanies the stirring-up of the pulwaiya (totemic hero) in increase cere- monies at the totemic centre. Beside the bonefish-god stand his wife and partner in creation, who went down near by and is to be seen in another ritual covered with white clay, also riddled with spears. The white clay is perhaps symbolic of the milkwood tree w...hich is usually associated with women, as the red clay of the bonefish-god is symbolic of the bloodwood tree. Elsewhere Miss McConnel gives us another description of the same ceremony, in which she tells us that the phallus CH. X TOTEM ISM IN QUEENSLAND 211 used in the rite was made of wood. A photograph that accompanies the article shows that the bonefish hero or god, as she calls him, is personated by a living man, and that both the phallus and the spear are attached artificially to his body. In any case the ceremony seems to show that theWik-Munkan are acquainted with the nature of physical paternity.^ This ritual is the possession of the bonefish clan (Wik- Munkan tribe) and is performed especially at the Wintyanam or second initiation ceremony, when the initiates, now men, are introduced as it were to the secrets of the clan.
