The Blessing Kick Off to Festival


The Blessing Kick Off to Festival
Greetings and welcome all, to the Festa del Redentore.
 This great feast, we celebrate what it is to be Chosen.
*The Celebrant raises the Daemonican Staff, and intones the Benediction*
Ego benedico te cum nocte aeterno.
 In nomine Patris et Matris et omnia Daemonarum Sanctarum.
We all here know the stories of how our own covens came to be.
 But there once was a time when the Chosen had no Seven Sabats,
 no Seven Great Houses of the Chosen. It is said that long ago, 
when man was made,he was given a wife, 
 made from the ground as he was. Her name was Lilith.
 But she refused to be subservient to the man Adam.
 She left him, and founded the great race of the Chosen.
 For centuries, she went about the face of the earth
, bringing forth new Childes. But she in her wisdom realized that in order to preserve her children, she must organize them. Thus through miraculous means, she brought forth the Great Houses, to which all of we here present, all Chosen, belong. These here are the names of the Great elders, our Archaos, which dwell among us in Venexia, sleeping in their tombs:
Bael Norferat
Count Corvnus Drakul
Countess Eerzebet Bathory
Countess Carmilla Karnstein
Marquis Francois Lestat
Baron Lucian De Rais
Lilitu Daemonica
We do not mention the name of the Apostate Sabat during this day of celebration of being Chosen.
All these elders derive from one Holy Mother, Lilith, who first refused to serve man. 
 Now we rule over Man. Let us all partake of this blood, 
which represents to us Mother Lilith. It represents to us that though
 we are each of different Great Sabats, nevertheless,
 we share many common traits. And it is Holy Mother Lilith, 
who Redeemed us from Mortality, by the fact she Redeemed our Archaos...they in turn have passed the Redemption of Immortailty to us! 
 Let us rejoice in this our shared Privelege!
* The celebrant drinks from her cup, and urges others to come to the altar to share from the flask*
The Ceremony is over! Let us all go forth and living, 
we die not! For we are the Shepherds, and we are the Wolves!
