Explanation:

Increase rites are very common, most of which are linked with the cult totems. Rituals performed to maintain the numbers of a specific species that are carried out by men having close relation with that totem, sometimes with the help of others performing in subordinate roles. Totemic increase rituals were carried out throughout Aboriginal Australia. The intricacy of the rituals varied from one place to the other. While in some areas with a simple ritual, the performers may do not have to be painted or beautified, and no special things were used but the intichiuma of the Aranda and neighbouring tribes are somewhat best known increase rituals according to Spencer & Gillen. During these rituals the participants visit the witchetty grub totem drawings at Emily Gap near Alice Spring and other sacred or significant site where unique rituals are carried out.
