As someone who’s always had a lifelong fear of snakes, it took a lot for me to book an appointment with one of America’s only self-styled snake priestesses, who conducts snake ceremonies and snake massages with her massive boa constrictors that are designed as healing treatments. But I really wanted to get over my fear of snakes, and so I bit the bullet and I really couldn’t believe what happened next. Make sure to visit Serpentessa.com to learn more about her treatments!

📰 Indian-American gay couples find new forms of union amid stigma(恥辱)
🀄 同性戀在印度社會是丟臉的事，印裔美國同志伴侶在當中尋求新的結合方式

When Sameer Samudra and Amit Gokhale decided to marry according to Hindu custom, the couple faced an unexpected(意想不到的) hiccup(麻煩): they couldn't find a priest(神父) to do the ceremony.

📌 當 Sameer Samudra 和 Amit Gokhale 決定按照印度教習俗結婚時，這對新人遇到了意想不到的麻煩：他們找不到牧師來主持婚禮。

"We wanted a Hindu wedding, but so many pandits (印度教士) [priests] said no. I was agonized(極痛苦的) when one of them quoted(報價) an exorbitant(過高的) amount(金額) just because I am gay!" said Sameer, who lives in North Carolina.

📌 “我們想要一場印度教婚禮，但有很多教士 [牧師] 說不。當他們中的一個人僅僅因為我是同性戀而提出過高金額時，我感到非常痛苦！” 住在北卡羅來納州的薩米爾說。

Unwilling to have "the energy of a reluctant(不情願的) priest" at their wedding, the couple improvised(即興發揮).
"One of our friends learnt the basics of being a priest and we chose Hindu rituals(儀式) that made sense for a same-sex wedding," Sameer said.

📌 這對新人不願意在他們的婚禮上擁有“不情願的神父的能量”，他們即興發揮。
“我們的一個朋友學習了成為牧師的基本知識，我們選擇了對同性婚禮有道理的印度教儀式，”薩米爾說。

So many Indian-American couples dream of a big fat Bollywood-style wedding, complete with traditional rituals. But that's easier said than done for gay couples - even in the US where same-sex unions were legalized(合法化) in 2015.

📌 很多的印度裔美國夫婦都夢想著舉行一場盛大的寶萊塢式婚禮，並配有傳統儀式，但對於同性戀伴侶來說，說起來容易，做起來難——即使在 2015 年同性結合合法化的美國也是如此。

More than 300,000 gay couples have wed in the country since then. But Indian-Americans say that they are often ostracized(排斥) by those who have the holy(神聖的) task of solemnizing(隆重慶祝) their unions.

📌 從那時起，該國已有超過 300,000 對同性戀伴侶結婚，但印度裔美國人說，他們經常被那些肩負著舉行結合儀式的神聖任務的人排斥。

Temples refusing to host same-sex weddings, priests hanging up on their phone calls or unwilling to tweak(稍稍調整) the ceremony to suit them and, in some cases, not even showing up on the day of the wedding - these experiences have driven Indian-American gay couples to fall back on friends and well-wishers to create unique ceremonies rooted in their culture.

📌 寺廟拒絕舉辦同性婚禮、神父掛斷電話或稍稍調整儀式以適應他們，在某些情況下，甚至在婚禮當天都不露面——這些經歷推動了這些新人依靠的朋友和祝福者，創造植根於他們文化的獨特儀式。

Sapna Pandya, for instance, became a priest herself although female priests are virtually(實際上) unheard of in Hinduism.

📌 例如，Sapna Pandya 自己成為了一名神父，儘管在印度教中幾乎聞所未聞的女神父。

She did it because of the opposition she and her Pakistani(巴基斯坦的) Muslim wife, Seher, faced when they wanted to get married the traditional way.

📌 她這樣做，是因為她和她的巴基斯坦穆斯林妻子 Seher，在想以傳統方式結婚時面臨反對。

"I didn't feel comfortable going to the temple to see a priest. My wife didn't feel comfortable going to the mosque(清真寺) and asking an imam(伊斯蘭領袖尊稱). So, we wrote our own ceremony," Sapna said.
They chose Hindu mantras(真言) and verses from the Koran(古蘭經) that symbolized companionship.

📌 “我不喜歡去寺廟找一位神父。我的妻子不喜歡去清真寺問伊瑪目，所以，我們編寫了自己的儀式。”Sapna 說。他們選擇了象徵伴侣關係的印度教真言和古蘭經中的經文。

Coming of Age Day 成人の日

In Japan, we have a special day called Seijin no hi. Usually, there is a ceremony and everything for all the 20-year-olds in Japan at the different districts but this year due to COVID, most of those ceremonies got cancelled. Instead, I spent time with my friends and family.

I wore my moms beautiful Furisode, which is a type of Kimono that only young people can wear. Once they are married, they cannot wear them. It has really long sleeves compared to the Kimono that older people wear.

So hope you enjoy the video!

#七夕 #做十六歲 #台南 #成年禮
#衛斯理探索台南 #WesDaviesExploreTainan

又來到一年一度的七夕，今年我決定在這特別的日子裡，去見證一個較少被注意到，但文化上具有不凡意義的活動【台南府城做十六歲】，這不僅是個浪漫的節日，也是每個人生命中重要的里程碑，在這一天，台南十六歲的孩子們，會在寺廟、宗祠或在家中舉辦成年禮，透過獨有的七娘媽禮俗，成為一個社會中的大人。這部影片中，我會走過台南的大街小巷，帶你們一起見證這特有的台南成年禮傳統，同時訪問一些孩子們對成為"大人"的想法，又是一次很特別的體驗。

有任何問題或想法，歡迎在留言區一起討論分享~

It's the Cishi Love Festival once again, and this year I decided to take a look at one of the little-known, but culturally significant events in Tainan, "The birthday Ceremony of Qiniangma and the Celebration of Turning 16". On this special day, the youth of the city will gather at temples and family homes across the city to perform a special ritual which signifies to the community that they have now turned from children to adults. There are many ceremonies and rituals associated with this, and I was fascinated to explore the city during this unique time. Let me know if you have any questions down below!
