Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:00:02 AM)
*She then added in writing* Here is some food for thought as you heard the many different spirits and the many differences between them.. We all are led by different totems have different ideals be they pack, tribe or friends.. *she motioned to leafwatcher knowing of her mouse and keening with his wind spirit* When these shrines are errected

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:00:20 AM)
She fell back into silence, then.

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:04:13 AM)
~still writing~it is important all work at honoring the many spirits, in ways they are capable. remember kinfolk are not ritualists, but alowing a kinfolk to leave food for racoons or even crows, a kinfolk is capable of leaving shiney quarters, a kinfolk is able to honor with knowledge of a spirit with falconry, a kinfolk can do many things besides preforming a ritual that can help us keep up this chimerage, tieing the feet of a mouse and leaving it on a stone might not be to difficult for some.. Hanging up wind chimes or even playing frizbee with a friend on a summer breeze to honor the wind spirits with play, i know plenty of kinfolk who could break a bar stool at a local pub and cause a bit of destruction and truly enjoy doing it esspecialy when knowing the meaning behind it..

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:05:37 AM)
*He nods as he reads the whiteboard, saying little to avoid giveing anything away and considering a moment, understanding the wisdom in the words*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:05:57 AM)
*She left that on the board as her face turned to gaze at her students.. to see the facial expressions some might have.. she knew not all felt kinfolk should have such a honor, but she was curious to see what ones thought it was to high a honor for a kin to show respect in small ways*

Aarron St. James (May 28, 2011 12:07:19 AM)
*his facial expression was that of a mild agreement, if anything at all, after all, as a thuerge it made his job that much easier if someone was helping to keep the spirits happy and he didn't have to do it all on his own all the time*

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:07:24 AM)
Emilia's face was expressionless. She was only Cliath, so being ignored by the elders was nothing new to her.

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:07:36 AM)
*The idea of kinfolk honoring sprirts isn't shocking to him, perhaps because he was trained among Shadow Lords that considered every kin a tool to be used.. makeing one perform chimerage no more an honor then a hammer is honored to drive a nail. Still, he sees the wisdom in her ideas and nods to Hilma*

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 12:07:54 AM)
*he listens and notes in his head all that is said.. done.. *

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:08:03 AM)
(i missed emilias post so give me a sec to rectify that)

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:08:48 AM)
*she then nodded to emilia to speak*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:09:04 AM)
*and offered the marker if the woman needed to write it down*

Summerlynn Fields (May 28, 2011 12:09:05 AM)
*She smiled and nodded a few times as well thinking of ways to get her kinfolk invoved.*

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:09:53 AM)
* she continues to write in her book*

Leafwatcher (May 28, 2011 12:10:52 AM)
*'Rain' gives her pocket a pat. The talk of tying up mice for Owl has left a bit of a bad taste, for several reasons. Still, she'll not comment unless asked or the depopulation of mice becomes severe. Neither of which are likely.*

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:11:19 AM)
Sorrow was far from against having his kin involved, and regularly relied on them for many of the things he wished to honour the spirits with.

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:12:20 AM)
[Somewhere in there was supposed to be an expression of approval of Hilma's suggestions, I just fail at typing thoughts properly. gah]

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:13:25 AM)
She spoke quietly, speaking on a generic level, so the marker was not needed. She chose her words carefully, being as diplomatic as she could while still getting her point across. "It is a good thing to mind the bans and taboos of spirits when doing chiminage... indeed, it is essential to do so. But if the favor from the spirit is significant, so should the chiminage go beyond the mere following of a ban or taboo. Speaking in generics, I think most spirits - not all - would appreciate a tale told in their honor at a moot, or a shrine built to them, as has been mentioned. With specific spirits, one should look beyond the obvious and seek to do chiminage beyond the bare minimum."

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:14:51 AM)
*She nodded to emilia* That is correct which brings us to the second part of tonights meeting..

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:15:19 AM)
*Star for her part was fine and approved that kin help with spirit and honouring them. though it wasn't like she had any kin so it was not her place to agree or disagree*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:15:45 AM)
As you mentioned.. *she nodded to emilia* Greet the Sun is a rite in which one could preform.. *She looked around* how many know the minor rite greet the sun?

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:16:18 AM)
*He shakes his head, then looks around to see if anyone else dose*

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:16:25 AM)
*star riases her hand*

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:16:40 AM)
She lowered her gaze with a slight frown. "I fear that I do not, but I would like to learn."

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 12:16:48 AM)
i currently do not know any of the minor rites

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:17:04 AM)
He puts up a paw.

Aarron St. James (May 28, 2011 12:17:27 AM)
*he gave a small shake of his head as that had been one he had not been taught*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:17:31 AM)
*she continued to look around.. She smiled at keening then asked* does anyone else know the rite?

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:17:42 AM)
* she holds up her hand*

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:17:43 AM)
((star raised her hand))

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:17:53 AM)
((as in she knows it))

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:18:05 AM)
(yes star keening and anna know it but does anyone else?)

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:18:29 AM)
[I believe Evie and SR do, I think I taught them]

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 12:18:48 AM)
( i have no Minor Rites with Horus as of yet)

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:19:15 AM)
Should we break up into groups of four to learn then, Mistress? *He ask Hilma as he looks around, then back to the elder*

Nathaniel Hall (May 28, 2011 12:20:45 AM)
I think the term is Rhya, not mistress...

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:21:19 AM)
"She is Mistress of the Rite." She commented quietly. "It is not inappropriate."

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 12:21:41 AM)
Rhya is an honorific.. that we add to the end of Deed Names.. bu ti am sure other honorifics will work when not using deed names

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:21:48 AM)
He whuffles in amusement, dancing briefly on his paws.

Nathaniel Hall (May 28, 2011 12:21:58 AM)
*he shrugged a bit* Mistress sounds kind of bondagey..

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:22:03 AM)
* the discussion of titles raises a brow *

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:22:04 AM)
*He half responds to Nathaniel before nodding to Emilia and giveing the young Silver Fang an arch look*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:22:08 AM)
*She then motioned* those whom do not know the minor rite greet the sun please gather around redeemer over there. *She motioned to the east circle*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:22:13 AM)
The others stay here

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 12:22:23 AM)
*Horus moves to the circle.. *

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:22:38 AM)
*The dark haired wolf nods to Hilma and walks to the east circle*

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:22:40 AM)
Emilia moved to the circle.

Nathaniel Hall (May 28, 2011 12:22:41 AM)
*nate wandered off towards the circle*

Mark Renner (May 28, 2011 12:22:43 AM)
(Mark can't learn the rite he's currently in the middle of learning one )

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:22:45 AM)
*star sat down and closed her eyes to wait for the next bit of the lesson*

Summerlynn Fields (May 28, 2011 12:22:55 AM)
*She headed on over with the others to the circle, seeming slightly embaressed she did not know this simple minor rite...but hey she did have some other useful tricks*

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:22:59 AM)
* she slips her book into her bag and the bag dissapears*

Leafwatcher (May 28, 2011 12:23:06 AM)
*'Rain' appears a bit skittish, but pads along over.*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:23:25 AM)
(its a minor rite and i will witness the roll you can place it before or after the one you are currently learning just dont use it till the correct date.. Thats all i ask)

Safina Karlson (May 28, 2011 12:23:41 AM)
*moved over where directed to listening

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:23:45 AM)
((Sounds reasonble))

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:23:48 AM)
[Emilia is in the middle of learning one as well. and I will note the date, thank you!]

Aarron St. James (May 28, 2011 12:23:54 AM)
*he moved to gather around redeemer in order to learn the rite, or at least attempt to do so*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:24:23 AM)
*She looked to see if star and anna where the only ones left whom did allready know it*

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:24:29 AM)
* she folds her hands in front of her as she watches the others always interested in observing others teaching rites to others and their style*

Mark Renner (May 28, 2011 12:25:09 AM)
*Mark goes and learns the rite*

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:25:25 AM)
*star tried to relax as she listened and waited*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:27:16 AM)
*She looked at Anna and Star* do either of you know the rite of adoration?

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:27:40 AM)
(star how many levels of ritual do you have? rituals 1 or rituals 2 or what?)

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:27:52 AM)
" i do not honoured elder"

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:28:05 AM)
((2))

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:28:30 AM)
* she nods to Hilma*

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:28:45 AM)
He looks to his students, dripping flakes of snow and chips of ice as he settles down again. He flicks and ear and sits on his haunches. ~ws~ "This is very simple. When the dawn comes, you look to the rising Sun and sing his praises like so." And with that he tilts his head back to howl a warm greeting that spoke of praise and thanks for the things which Helios grants them. For the Wendigo, this was clearly a very heartfelt thing, expressed with his howling in a haunting manner.

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:29:51 AM)
*She then looks to anna* if you would please teach it to star over there.. *She motioned to the north circle*

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:31:49 AM)
*He inclines his head, nodding and foucseing on learning the rite*

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:32:23 AM)
*Star would stand and walk over to the spot she had been told to go. She wiated quietly and listened quietly, her focus on the one teaching her*

Summerlynn Fields (May 28, 2011 12:33:47 AM)
*She nodded her head with a tumbling mess of blonde hair* Got cha, wake up with the birds then just howl out my lovely morning song! Would it it be approriate to Sing the Mr. Shiney sun song? Have you heard that? I can sing it. *She said with a grin*

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:34:26 AM)
Those who knew how to greet the moon would recognise a certain similarity in the performance, and intention. When he had howled his heartfelt praises, he looks back to the gathered students with an expression of curiosity, letting that sink in a moment before continuing. ~ws~ "If one can do this every morning for nine days in a row, they discover it is easier to identify Wyrm taint."

Nathaniel Hall (May 28, 2011 12:34:53 AM)
How ever you give greeting to Helios , im sure he'd like a song

Wilhelm Faust (May 28, 2011 12:36:12 AM)
*He nods* A worthy goal. The shamanistic magic of garou seems to cut to the spriit of the matter, rather then the exact wording, rather often.. On days when the sun can't be seen, do you greet the moon at dawn by the clock, or the first time you see the sun?

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:36:17 AM)
* she looks to Star and back to Hilma and heads to the circle she indicated and sits lotus style and pulls off a braclet she wears * This braclet I wear honors my promise to Earth.....the rite of Adoration gives you the chance to show the sprit you wish to honor them with a shrine

Aarron St. James (May 28, 2011 12:36:21 AM)
*he seemed to study Keening rather intently and like a mental patient with a moment of clarity, the knowledge of the Rite seemed to just sort of click in the large Thuerge's head and he grinned like a cat with a canary* Oh, that's easy. Even I ain't gonna screw this one up.

Star That sings of life (May 28, 2011 12:37:07 AM)
*star listened and was purely focused on anna*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:37:22 AM)
*The rites mistress was watching them all.. Rather enigmaticly.. *

Safina Karlson (May 28, 2011 12:37:40 AM)
*sticks close to her alpha for her chance to learn*

Emilia da Silva (May 28, 2011 12:37:46 AM)
She listened intently to the Wendigo. "Is it necessary to howl? I mean, is the Lupus form a requirement, or are there other ways to perform the Rite?"

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 12:38:18 AM)
*he stands to the side and watches*

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 12:39:09 AM)
Building a shine is personal and you can decorate in anyway you wish that tells the spirit this is for you....this is what I give you.....and place something personal...a small sacrifice......as I have a shrine for Earth at my home I place my braclet on the shrine I have made or rock and earth and whsiper my words to the wind so it will carry to earth......you may say whatever you wish that you think will honor them

Nathaniel Hall (May 28, 2011 12:39:14 AM)
( how Demon the fallen views WtA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXpdmKELE1k )

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:40:05 AM)
~ws~ "Is sun not there behind clouds? Do Garou keep to clocks?" He whuffles in amusement, shaking his fur out. He looks to Emilia with a flick of his ear. "No. As long as it comes from the depths of your heart, praising Helios for his greatness, it does not matter what form you choose."

Mark Renner (May 28, 2011 12:40:26 AM)
(sorry guys I am fading here really fast)

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:40:35 AM)

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 12:57:27 AM)
He flicks an ear and looks to Hilma with an affirmative whuff.

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 12:57:44 AM)

*She then looked to Anna and Keening* well I could teach you both the rite but I would like to teach the rite of lesser mourning to redeemer, I had somethng planned for you Slice true, it is a more complex ritual in and of itself but I just had a feeling it would be one you would be interested in mastering

~ms~ "Grandmother-rhya. There are ways the Wendigo know which can serve this sept, if performed properly. Two relatively simple rites with lingering effects, which I can lead if you feel it is dire enough that the sept be exposed to tribal secrets."

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:10:01 AM)
*she looked at keening and heard what he said but did not respond to it just yet as she looked at anna to see if she was as interested as she seemed in learning it*(it is a level 4 rite anna and you are the only one capable of learning it that showed up today.. no one has rituals 4 that was in tonights scene, but as it will take 4 months to learn let me know if your chr would even be interested in putting that sort of effort into it)

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 1:10:26 AM)
[4 months, not 4 weeks?]

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:18:38 AM)
(horus you can try to learn the rite of lesser mourning but you do not have the rituals to learn abouyt the enchanted forest..)

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 1:19:00 AM)
( i know.. but i can use this to justify getting Rituals 4)

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 1:20:00 AM)
[sokay. LAL's in the process of learning Totem, so wouldn't have been able to learn right off the bat anyhow. Like Horus, I probably have the justification for KS to get Rituals 4, heh]

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:26:21 AM)
The execution of the rite varies greatly from sitution to situation and from tribe to tribe, but the most common version is moderately complex. The ritemas calls the participants to him, and declares the name and deeds of the one to be honored. This can take the form of a long mournful cry, or a barely audible groan. Then it is followed by a small period of silent contemplation by everyone involved as they meditate upon what is lost. Then one by one the participants approach the site of worship a dedicated shrine, a grave marker or something else representing the deceased to offer a small token or gift of remembrance. The token may be a physical object like a weapon or fetish, or a symbolic offering like a teardrop or a smear of one’s own blood. Upon the offering each one offers a remark on why they honor the deceased whether for a personal reason, or for some quality or virtue they believe the deceased embodied in their life. As the mourners settle in front of the site of worship the ritemaster leads them

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:26:54 AM)
in a sharing of tales of the deceased, where everyone shares their fond memories. After the spirit dissipates, if it shows at all, the participants give a farewell howl before breaking company or partaking in some revelry or another. followed by a chant or song led by the ritemaster, but performed by all, calling on the deceased to watch over them and lend them his strength and virtue in their continuous struggle. As the song concludes the deceased may sometimes appear for a small delicate period of time to be with those closest to him again. This is often his life. It is not unheard of for those so honored to become ancestor-spirits due to the love and respect offered them during this ritual. After the spirit dissipates, if it shows at all, the participants give a farewell howl before breaking company or partaking in some revelry or another.

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:28:53 AM)
*she was watching keenin as she was explaining the ritual to him..*(my notes got all screwey so bare with me)

Horus Alexander (May 28, 2011 1:29:26 AM)
*stands to the side.. listening and watching*

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 1:30:39 AM)
He listens intently to her explanation of the ritual's processes, ears perked though he has yet to release his touch on her mind should there be anything she wanted to say regarding his query.

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:33:22 AM)
*then she looked at him and responded in his head* I will have things prepared, trust in me if tricks need to be pulled for surpise they will be pulled im a master of being well ya know a uktena with a certain flair..

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:33:54 AM)
(keening make your roll please)

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:34:05 AM)
(you need 2 rolls for the rite)

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 1:34:56 AM)
[rolled, 1 success, then 3, go figure]

Keening Sorrow (May 28, 2011 1:36:58 AM)
He conveys in images rather than words what was required for the rites in mind- the sweat lodge which they had made use of before and was likely familiar to Hilma as being a previous suggestion of his, and a carved pole with a skull at the apex and hooks dangling from leather thongs to perform a sun-dance.

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:38:43 AM)
Everyone has heard about the mystically enchanted forests in which the trees themselves seem alive, strange voices whisper, wicked witches roam, and goblins and fae of all manner plague the weary traveler. We used to rule the wilds, but humanity encroaches more and more on our lands. Hundreds of years ago, Theurges developed a rite with which to frustrate such expansion. This rite, Enchant the Forest, awakens the spirits of the land and urges them to protect the Wyld. These spirits awaken and move to resist any human settlements in the area. Suddenly, springs dry out. The winter grows harsher than ever before, yet the forest and the trees are remarkably fast-growing and resilient. Food decays and rots in no time, and vermin and insects infest

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:41:42 AM)
the area attempt to put in power or phone lines just dont work.. no tv reception either if there is tv reception it will flash very disturbing images to really drive home the creep factor.. The people will either leave or meet a untimely demise and the wilderness will once more reclaim what is rightful its to begin with.. *Her hands motioned over the grounds the way the creepy fog settled over the ground the hanging branches and scents of the swamps in all directions it was rather creepy to those whom did not belong out there alone in the dark wasnt it?*

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:42:46 AM)
The are in which you do this to will seem haunted for years afterwards..strange sounds eminate from the woods at night.. the spirits once roused do not rest again for a very long long time

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:43:23 AM)
it can drag the wrong kind of publicty on it as well like those ghost hunter baffoons and the media..

Anna Sandstrom (May 28, 2011 1:44:00 AM)
* she watches the effects and her eyes widen a bit * interesting

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:45:51 AM)
you must take a twig from a tree never seen by human eyes.. make a container from the belly of a animal never hunted by humans.. you must fill the container with the water from a pond never touched by man kind.. then you will pour the water on the borders of the wild woods and call on the spirits of nature to awaken and defend themselves

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:46:47 AM)
you will send messengers to the north south east and west.. *As she said each direction she pointed to the four circles around the large circle she was standing in.. *

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 1:47:23 AM)
And remember this slice true, you must sing to the spirits for 3 days ..

Grandmother Hilma (May 28, 2011 2:03:38 AM)
(I rolled your witness roll.. And since you got the 3 suxxs to enigmas it just comes so cleanly to you once you took the moment to absorb it.. A twig never seen by man (glade tree or umbral tree).. A animal never hunted by man( Well theres plent animals in the umbra man kind has never even dreamed imaginable).. A pond never touched by man (again plenty of umbral places never touched by men.. all the ingriedents can be found in the same place.. the umbra)

[uhm. Nuu. Just lemme know if you need KS to lead ritual nonsense.
