+ | While the Master of Ceremonies has been responsible for codifying tradition in the architecture of this Ceremony, it is the High Priestess who, by intuitive and munificent example, sees the flow of Proceedings on their right course. Quality and Tragicomic Control serve important regulatory functions, but should not impede the flow set going by the High Priestess, who has the final word in all matters of dispute concerning proper conduct and protocol of the Proceedings. | ||

- | - Embracing the Depths | + | |
- | - Renewal and Metempsychosis | + | == Fumigation == |
- | | + | |
+ | Silent, ~15–20 m\\ | ||
+ | Chymical Indication: Tincture of Tartar | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Space is dimly illuminated with multitudinous waxen candles, flickering in the corners and upon certain protuberances; | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Brazier of Consumption has been set in Luciferic disequilibrium, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Disseminating from the Singular Circle with burning incenses, Celebrants silently fumigate the Space' | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Bonfire of the Demons == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pärt, ~25 m | ||
+ | |||
+ | Celebrants reassemble at the Brazier of Consumption. A chthonic drum intones the sombre sacrifice of Demons which is at hand. Celebrants take Combustibles and sacrifice them upon the Brazier. The Elixir of Mogwana White may also be reverted to. Multicoloured fiery brocades may rise from the embers and coruscate throughout the space, but the vacuum in the human eye will draw them in and quell them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Consuming and Embracing the Demons. Deliverance and Transmutation of the Bonds of the Demons. Embracing the Depths. Renunciation and Inner Purification == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Silent, ~10 m | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Demons are but lost facets on the Wheel. We begin to merge and writhe with them. By merging with them, we dissolve their bonds and transmute them. The ecstasy of sundering, the agony of reuniting. We honour the infinite, let ourselves fall and fall into the infinite depths. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | == Renewal and Metempsychosis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The intensity of the previous Observance has conveyed Celebrants through a metempsychosis of renewal and transmogrification, |
