==The Rituals of Life==
'''by Esmermella Clenvisteen'''


'''INTRODUCTION ............................................. PAGE 1'''<br>
''' Rituals ............................................. PAGE 2'''


If a ritual you would perform, there are things one must know before
you would seek one out. First, that you must be a cleric of good
standing with the Lady of the Guild, and that you must have a need
within ye to sacrifice and cleanse yourself.

Now then, there are many rituals one may perform, specifically
detailed hereforth:

==(Rituals, Page 2)==
'''The Holy Bath:'''<br>
If you have found yourself unclean and in need of
good cleansing, then take ye to a holy pool and there apply such herbs
as are deemed by the gods to cleanse, and let yourself be cleansed.

'''Acts of Humility:''' <br>
One who shows their humble desire to please the
gods may learn that kneeling and praising the statue of a god of good
standing will cause them to achieve some minor attention of the gods.

'''Menial Humility:''' <br>
Cleaning the altars of the gods can bring a kind
smile from those who watch over the altars. Of course, one cannot
use just any water to wash these altars, for to otherwise is sacrilege
unto the sacred and profain!

'''Offerings of Sacred Wyne: '''<br>
Offering the wyne of the gods unto them
by pouring it unto their altar can bring about their pleasure.

'''Dance and Poetry: '''<br>
The gods are delighted by the dancing and recitation
of their priests, and may grant their grace to those who do honor them
in such ways.

'''Dabbing with Holy Water: ''' <br>
Dabbing yourself with holy water can bring
the pleasure of the gods, verily.


==(Rituals, Page 3)==

'''Visitation of Shrine: '''<br>
Visitation of shrines is recommended, if for
no other reason than to become acquainted with those who you serve.

'''Preaching: '''<br>
Preaching on the greatness of our gods can bring about
much favor and grace.

'''Prayer: '''<br>
Prayer unto our deities is, of course, always smiled upon!

'''Silver Bells: '''<br>
Some believe these delicate instruments may enhance prayer.


As a servant unto the gods, I recommend all clerics visit Father
Durantine's shop in The Crossing, wherein many tools of our profession
can be found.
