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:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z%C4%81rhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KJFlDtT70ci 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.
