Thanks, this is helpful. I do need to design a ritual for this year's Burning Man camp.
The theme is the "Temple of Salt" and I'd like to invite the public to come to the "Salt Ritual". So far I plan on having a pink rock salt statue of Lot's Wife for people to lick but the ritual needs a bit more to it and I'm very open to ideas.
Several people are going to share a salt lick? That doesn't sound sanitary.
Typically yes, but Burning Man is a uniquely desolate environment where germs are unable to live on surfaces and germs can never live inside of a pure salt lick.
Or, at least, Burning Man is an environment in which licking the salt lick is probably not the most unsanitary thing most people are going to do that day.
I am probably hopelessly square and un-hip, but I wouldn't want to lick a pillar of salt that hundreds of people have licked before me. Not unless I get to know them better, first.
If you're going with the Lot's wife symbology, you should arrange it so they approach the temple without looking at it. Also, something involving hospitality. And sodomy.
Well, ok, maybe not hospitality.
