Intense psychological turmoil - and encounters

[Sirius]

Interesting initiation ceremony here from an aboriginal tribe, seems like intense psychological turmoil would be involved along with an entity.  The highlighted bit is suspect and who knows what restrained the author. I tried looking for other sources.

From what I gathered the tribe actually has animal totems and would more likely commune with something like that or whatever is living in Woolshed Creek, they have a pet cryptid and it's probably involved in initiation  
 

One of Australian native is called Kurnai people, has a ritual in which children are prepared to leave their mums. The purpose of this initiation ceremony is to give a sense of being an adult to girls and boys. Because it's known that very hard for children the time when they leave their mother and children are prepared for this ritual psychologically first. Kurnais performs this ceremony in straightforward concept. During the ceremony, the mothers sit behind the candidates. The adults men who are considered as masters of this implementation, make a gap line between mothers and their children and meanwhile, the mother and the candidates try to reach each other by extending their hands. The movement of extending hands each other represents the strength of separation. Later, the candidates open their hands several times to the sky and pray to God. If their prays are accepted by God of heaven then the initiation get complited. Afterwards, candidates are taken to a sacred sanctuary where no one can able to see them. The candidates then lay there on their backs and put their hands crosswise on their chest. They can not hear and see anything outside while they are in this situation. Thereafter, the candidates fall asleep together by singing songs The next day they become an adult member of the tribe. After these ordeals, the Kurnais tribe accepts the candidates as a master member of their tribe. This ritual is crucial for Kurnais in the sense that young men and girls gain self-confidence and become independent individuals. The separation, which started first physically when the children leave their mums and ending with a spiritual separation thus, the ceremony finalised in a proper way (Eliade 1975: 7).
