Cutting as a religion.

I just recently found out that in Africa, some of the soldiers there (and who knows who else) practice this kind of voodoo magic. One practice involves making incisions in the skin all over the body and then putting some substance in it to allow the incision to stay open. They believe this makes them invisible. Soldiers use it of course to avoid being hurt in battle.
I found this page about this type of magic, subculture etc. (may not have info about this specific practice)

Just thought you might be interested to know.
