Washing is very important in Pythagorean tradition, both daily rituals and special rites of passage. On a daily basis, devotees wash their hands immediately before eating, a cleansing which is especially important hygienically because they eat with their hands. A large calabash full of water is kept by the eating spot so everyone can wash their hands before reaching into the communal plate. But washing the body has symbolic power as more than removing sweat and soil. Washing also bears the meaning of transmigration and inner purification. That is, through washing, one becomes more what one is destined to be.
