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.

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.
