The Taboos

This small group holds a taboo, a strict prohibition on contact with, or action toward, something set apart as sacred or dangerous, whose violation is held to bring pollution or harm. The concept, named from a Polynesian word, is found across the world's traditions.

The browser will find the taboo the atlas classes here. The entry describes it in its own terms, noting the tradition in which it holds.
