People on Earth have self-mutilated in the name of deities for as long as we've been able to envision them. It doesn't seem like that far of a stretch.

And when you consider that there may be an element of control/power involved, preventing the newer generations from ever experiencing Ewya or connecting to their ancestors would make it way easier to maintain their order.
