Reply to "Puna"

Well Daddy I think you would have liked the Hawai'ian version of the baths. A traditional swet hut with about 15 people sitting around the stone pit piled with 10 hunks of lavastone all glowing orange from being next to a huge bonfire for about three hours. I felt like I was being roasted. Kaliko did the pre-entry invocation in a driving warm rain. Inside there were numerous rounds of chants and group response calls, a novitiate, suitably the nakedest youngest person, dropping fat grains of salt on the rocks. I probably lost eight pounds. Afterwards it was a dousing with cold water, a huge communal dinner and rounds and rounds of local smoke. Tell Empress they really roll here.
