| Waiting for the Hunt Train |
I love doing hunts but I'm pretty picky about which ones I do. There are a few coming up I'm excited about and one of them is The Penitent Hunt, put on by Tash Porthos of [dirty.little.secret]
The theme sounds religious but can be interpreted many ways.
For you Catholics in the know (and others who just ... know, for whatever reason) this hunt starts on Ash Wednesday, the day of penitence after the decadence and build up of the holiday/Carnivale/Mardi Gras season when observant Catholics go to Mass to receive a cross of ash to wear on their foreheads for the day. This hunt is about the 40 days of the Lenten season after Fat Tuesday, ending on Easter Sunday.
I'm more spiritual than "religious," per se but I love the many themes creators have the potential of pulling out of this. Some of the buzz words for the hunt include: lent, catholic, penitence, penitent, communion, confession, regret, guilt, redemption, renewal, denial, sacrifice, secret indulgences, resolutions. Ironically, a bit like the standard Christian holidays we endure and then go through New Year's with resolutions, whether we keep them, break them or don't make any at all.
Tash would like to make it clear that, "This is not a religious hunt nor is it a persecution of the Catholic Faith. This hunt merely takes its theme from the long-standing traditions of the Lenten season. No judgement or persecution, religious or otherwise, will be tolerated in this hunt nor will any persecution be tolerated of this hunt."
