24. Eliade gives many examples of the use of iron in shamanic initiation rites. For example: “Thecandidate’s limbs are removed and disjointed with an iron hook; the bones are cleaned, the fleshscraped, the body fluids thrown away, and the eyes torn from its sockets” (Eliade, 1988, 36). It isimportant to distinguish the strategic and subordinate use of metal in ‘the primitive socius’ from the war machine’s necessary and intrinsic relation to metallurgy. “AXIOM III. The Nomad war machineis the form of expression, of which itinerant metallurgy is the correlative form of content” (ATP 415).The war machine populates the metal body, while the primitive socius accesses it only intermittentlythrough the lone journeys of the shaman.
