Yaramaurd and Pythia discuss the cultures, practices, and cosmology of the Senoi Temiar people of Malaysia and their use of ritual and its correlations with theatre. After consideration of techniques we could bring into our own practices, Yara talks about methods of herbal tincture making and Pythia brings attention to the Aquilaria or lign-aloe tree and sustainability.
