Essence: ritualistic abstinence.Working seriously and denying your own needs
They have a tendency to work very hard and to deny themselves all sorts of basic needs. As if they have to fulfil their duty whatever the cost.
Ascetic ritualsA typical situation is that of ascetic rituals. By repeating fixed patterns and abstaining from eating, drinking or having sex, they hope to get into a trance. The trance is meant to make contact with the spirit world, to receive messages and to bring sacrifices for the sake of the family and the well being of the tribe.
Rigid abstinenceThe self imposed abstinence can get too a bit too rigid, they don’t know when to stop anymore. They carry on against better judgment, thus endangering their own health. They are afraid of being criticised and left behind on their own if they don’t go on.
Protecting people who are deprivedA variation on this theme is that they want to offer protection to those who are having a hard time. They feel something should be done for the hungry or handicapped or deprived in this world.
Work is hard and starkIn the final stages they are completely exhausted. The hardships and exertions often cause cramp in their calves, stomach or other parts of the body. They become totally apathetic, don’t want anything, except to be dead, at least there will be no more demands then. Failing that the least you can do for them is to leave them alone to rest and sleep.
