hi all,

during the community session today, a few people asked about the "saar" thing i mentioned in my reading.

here is some info about it:

i have always felt this was a radical act of feminist liberation in otherwise uber patriarchal societies. in the practice there is a lot of scents, oil burnings, specific dresses, and beautiful jewelry (similar to what maryam and sukina wear).

i have never participated, so my knowledge is only external.
