The Space is dimly illuminated with multitudinous waxen candles, flickering in the corners and upon certain protuberances; draped white and red fairy lights swaddle the air, while a hanging garden of silvery green has been arranged. | The Space is dimly illuminated by draped white and red fairy lights swaddling the air, while a hanging garden of silvery green has been arranged. |

The Brazier of Consumption has been set in Luciferic disequilibrium, the Celebrants have assembled in the Singular Circle, from where they proceed to kindle incense of cedar and thyme from the Brazier. | The Brazier of Consumption has been set in Luciferic disequilibrium, the Celebrants have assembled in the Singular Circle, from where they proceed to light multitudinous waxen candles, and set them, flickering, in the corners and upon certain protuberances; two red candles are ignited as an offering to the Twin Red Satyrs; then incense of cedar and thyme is kindled from the Brazier. |

Disseminating from the Singular Circle with burning incenses, Celebrants silently fumigate the Space's endlessly recursive corners, in grave manner and with solemn intent. As this Observance proceeds, it may happen that certain more excitable Celebrants begin to vociferously wheeze, or yelp, or emit startling shrieks and whines. They should not be castigated, but gently brought back to the Singular Circle for the next Observance. | Disseminating from the Singular Circle with burning incenses, Celebrants silently fumigate the Space's endlessly recursive corners, in grave manner and with solemn intent.

The intensity of the previous Observance has conveyed Celebrants through a metempsychosis of renewal and transmogrification, and the energy released in this renewal has built up an irresistible urge to dance. Celebrants are now required to party. | The intensity of the previous Observance has conveyed Celebrants through a metempsychosis of renewal and transmogrification, and the energy released in this renewal has built up an irresistible urge to dance. Celebrants are now required to party, for such indicators as Saturnalia and Bacchanalia prevail, and Solvent Spirits are to be consumed in proper quantities. |
