James Laidlaw critiques one theory of this practice with the example of Jain ascetics who avoid returning to the same home twice. Lewis Hyde cited a tale about two Brahmin women who became poisoned wells due to incorrectly performing this practice. One organized system for this practice involves necklaces and armbands and occurs in the Massim. That system is called the kula, and along with potlatch is the subject of a 1923 book that discusses how the title practice helps to build relationship. That work was written by Marcel Mauss and discusses how the objects of this practice are never free, but invite reciprocity. For 10 points, name this practice which, along with eating cake, might occur at a birthday party.
