Sanyelle struggles to remember the finer points of early Christian asceticism, but here is a relevant quote regarding this remarkably joyous sounding tradition!
"Asceticism may be defined as the voluntary abstention for philosophical or religious reasons from physical goods that are central to the well-being of humankind. The goods are primarily those closely associated with the satisfaction of bodily needs and the survival of the community: food, drink, sexual relations, sleep, and material possessions. Scholars do not wholly agree on the reasoning that distinguishes ascetic behavior from other forms of abstention." -Finn, 2012
The card that Sanyelle pulled for the collective reading was The Alchemist from the Threads of Fate Oracle deck.
The card that Ruth pulled was The Wheel of Fortune from Faye Orlove’s Goddess Tarot deck.
