One of the truly unusual customs that they have is called the Walk of Acceptance. In this a young individual walks down a long line of 100 individuals. He stops at each one, professes his acceptance of their way of life before he accepts a short whip from that person. Then he uses the whip to strike his own back before returning it. This act is mostly symbolic as they seldom inflict any real injury to themselves and in most cases it results only in some mild bruising. | One of the truly unusual customs that they have is called the Walk of Acceptance.

Another custom is the 'Ur’tal' - the Emptying. With roots in Kahlto, this custom has become more commonplace with the youth of Mizar II. At the end of the day, the individual will write down a log for the day - every emotion, thought and worry they experienced - on a combustible material, be it paper or fabric. Once everything has been written down, the record is then burnt as the individual meditates before it.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/u/1/g/sb118-artemis/c/Om9grt7-iNk "A Stranger at Sea"]</ref> | Another custom is the 'Ur’tal' - the Emptying.
