History
The Vulcans were a telepathic humanoid species that were native to the planet Vulcan located in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Overview
A deeply spiritual practice by the Vulcans was the Tal-Shanar that they rarely showed to outsiders. (ENT: Cold Front) An obsolete ritual was the Fullara that was used to repress memories and emotions associated with a memory. (ENT: The Seventh)
A figure within Vulcan society was the pyllora that was a title given to those of their people who initiated a mind meld with a relative. These individuals acted as a guide or counsellor within a memory experienced by the Vulcan where they assisted the subject from repressing the memory. (VOY: Flashback)
Vulcans were known to practice tarul-etek that was when they showed a person horrifying images in order to provoke an emotional response to test how well the individual was capable of suppressing their emotions. (Episode: Horizon)
Suus Mahna was a martial art developed by the Vulcans that took many years to learn. (ENT: Marauders) Vulcans were aware of the existence of focal points in the bioelectric field of humanoids especially those in the brain. These were known as Qui'lari and were he equivalent of chakras from ancient India on Earth. (DS9: The Muse)
The Rite of Tal'oth was a ritual practiced by Vulcans whereby a young adult was required to survive for four months in the desert with only their ritual blade. (VOY: Displaced)
One practice in their civilization was Rumarie that was a pagan festival practiced in the 14th century. (VOY: Meld) A further event was the Kal Rekk that was a holiday that was a day of atonement to Vulcans where they engaged in solitude and silence with no season leading up to the time. (VOY: Meld)
Despite the changes in their civilization, not all Vulcans embraced the concept of logic alone and some retained the idea of experiencing emotions. Such members of their kind were referred to as v'tosh ka'tur" or "Vulcans without logic." (ENT: Fusion)
