I don't think the shaman stirs the lye pot or de-fats the sheep; I think his calling has to do with summoning blessings on what he decides to bless--houses, animals, motorcycles, cars, recently purchased land, a business, a teen-ager's new braces, the tribe's latest private plane. . . .Bellabellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272996485620573797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022375001701209500.post-38144776704250510482010-05-03T14:42:38.899-07:002010-05-03T14:42:38.899-07:00Ann writes:

I have never had a bar of blessed soap, unless you count that bless-ed soap I dropped that time when I banged my head on the shower stall bending over to pick it up. Actually I don't think I called it bless-ed either.<br /> <br />I like soap. I like really smelly soap. I like French milled soap made from olive oil, soap that smells of lemons or roses or lavender or all of the above. <br /> <br />But blessed? The Navajos use yucca root for hair washing. And God knows they grow nice hair. That is a blessing I think. <br /> <br />Is this soap made from sheep fat and ashes? Yucca? Are you supposed to use it all over your body, or do you avoid using holy soap on your hoo hoo?<br /> <br />Please tell me.Bellabellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272996485620573797noreply@blogger.com
