The Carp supposedly can talk, and tells the father where he has placed presents for the children

Abbots Bromley Horn Dance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbots_Bromley_Horn_Dance

Specifically mentioned in the 17th century but components of it go back to the early 16th and possibly further. The horns themselves have been tested and are from the 11th century.

I suppose circumcision of prepubescents.

Basically, we here in Insular SEA have a lot of dick modification practices. But circumcision is special because it marks entry to manhood ever since pre-colonial times.

Nowadays we still do it, but the fact that anesthesia and medical expertise is involved kinda lessens the trial-by-ordeal nature of the whole tradition.

Still, it colors our language. In the Philippines, "supot" (lit. Bagged) refers to someone who retains his foreskin. i.e. a coward who ran away from his circumision. Nowadays its slang for failure and inadequacy.

Totally unrelated to Jewish/Islamic practices, which is barbaric shit done to babies while our circumcision traditions are by the kid's consent. Of course, social pressure would make it seem forced.

I don't have any pictures, but I am a Native American living in the Oklahoma area. My family, as well as extended family, still attend sweat lodges and occasionally smoke peyote during the spring/fall seasons. Whenever a kid or old person gets the spooks, we sometimes burn sage in the house as a sort of comforting action. Of course nobody believes in the freaky monster shit of the past, but it makes the kids and older generation feel better.

My experiences aren't the greatest, but I thought they would fit well in this thread.

The scissors dance is performed by inhabitants of Quechua villages and communities in the south-central Andes of Peru, and now in urban settings. This competitive ritual dance is performed during dry months coinciding with the main phases of the agricultural calendar. Together with a violinist and a harpist, a dancer forms a ''cuadrilla'' (team) that represents a given village or community. To perform, two or more ''cuadrillas'' face each other, and the dancers must strike the blades together in time to the rhythm of the accompanying musicians, while performing a choreographed duel of step-dancing, acrobatics and increasingly demanding movements. The competition or ''atipanakuy'' may last up to ten hours. It's described by some as 500-year-old break dancing.
The scissor dancers descend from the "Tusuq laykas" or sorcerer dancers, who were persecuted in the colony. During colonial times they began to be known as "supaypa wawan" (son of the devil in Quechua) and take refuge in the highest areas. Eventually, the colonists accepted they return but conditioned them to dance to the saints and to the catholic God.

Iranian here, we just finished a small get-together for Shab-e Yalda, a Zoroastrian holiday marking the longest night of the year, the winter solstice.

why is it that many ancient traditions also involve being dicks to animals

maybe out of a sense of species superiority?

Every year, local communities on either side of the Apurimac River Canyon use traditional Inca engineering techniques to rebuild the Q'eswachaka Bridge. The old bridge is taken down and the new bridge is built in only three days. The bridge has been rebuilt in this same location continually since the time of the Incas.

mother son incest was apparently a big thing according to a japanese doujin artist. At the very least milfs used to take the virginities of teenage boys and old men used to do the same for girls.

Dunno how true that is. But apparently its still a meme there today.

"Kattenstoet" in Ieper, Belgium. Celebration of everything cat-related. Goes back to witch burnings era where cats were thrown off of buildings, although nowadays they just throw cat plushies. There's still a witch burning at the end, although recently there's been a shortage so now it's only every three years instead of yearly.

Some isolated regions in the countryside of Brazil still retain Medieval Portuguese traditions that were abandoned everywhere else.

"Cavalhadas", for example, are events based on medieval tournaments and their imagery is based in the Matter of France (which remains popular in these regions, unlike everywhere else in the world).

In the east of the Netherlands and the North-west of Germany they light fires during Easter. Supposedly it is a continuation of a pagan holiday. Judging on the location of easter fires it is likely Saxon
In some parts of Germany they have a variation called "Feuerrad". Here, a wheel of straw is set on fire and rolled off a hill

Now that I think about it, this was pretty fucked. I remember at the time that I was pretty pumped to get circumcised without anesthetics, the "manly" way, only for us to move somewhere less third world and get circumcised with anesthetics. Now I feel that I would pussy out.

I'll expand more on the without-anesthetic version, since your pic related is making it more gritty. Basically, they pull up your foreskin a bit, place a blade on top, just over the head, and hit it with something, making the circumcision almost instant. You're supposed to chew on guava leaves while all of this shit is happening, and jump towards a river after they strike the blade and cut off your foreskin.
