She says she doesn’t want to buy underwear at the store that was made by a 5-year-old child in China who works 15-hour days without breaks. She’s going to give me some tips. So, I may start out by making some less-sacred underwear. She suggests cutting up old T-shirts for the first few pairs.

“The saffron robes of Tibetan monks and black habits of nuns are outer signs of their devotion. But among religious devotees there’s also a tradition of wearing hidden clothing that’s charged with symbolic meaning—in other words, sacred underwear.
Some Mormons, for instance, regularly slip on a white neck-to-knee garment that’s meant to remind them of their pact with God. Orthodox Jewish men may wear tsitsit, a fringed cloth, beneath their basic black. For especially devout Catholics, the sacred underwear is called a scapular.
French philosopher Blaise Pascal had his own non-denominational version. At the height of an intense epiphany, he scrawled prayerful poems on a parchment, and forever after wore it under his clothes.
We recommend the practice to you: Design or find your own sacred underwear. You could draw magical glyphs on your briefs. Stuff a talisman in your bra. Write a prayer on an undershirt or slip. Or do whatever captivates your imagination. This will be a secret sign (between you and the Divine Wow alone) of your spiritual intention. Except for the two of you, no one else will know.”
Sounds like a fun project. So yea, this will just be between me and god… and all of you.
