During the sacrificial period, men and women are not allowed to meet alone, have sexual intercourse, eat meat, etc. (5) Avoid worshipping gods with gender characteristics regardless of gender . For example, there is a saying among the people that “men do not worship the moon and women do not worship the kitchen god”. This is because the moon god is a goddess and the kitchen god is a male god, so people are afraid that worshipping gods by the opposite sex would be a blasphemy. |
