The Rite of MajQa was a Klingon ritual that involved lengthy meditations in the Caves of No'Mat, where prolonged heat exposure leads to hallucinations. The ritual was generally undertaken for the first time at a young age. The participant in the ritual sought to gain a vision of his past or future; visions of family were considered particularly powerful and important.

Worf undertook the Rite of MajQa as a youth when his foster parents arranged for him to travel to Qo'noS. (TNG: "Birthright, Part I")

According to the script, MajQa was pronounced as " mazh-KA". [1]
