Introduction : Introduction You've made it through your seventh ritual, which means there is only one more for you to go through during this turn of the wheel of the year!
It's now time to add to your essays for the Dedicant Path documentation by writing a recap of the rite!
Discussion : Discussion First, we've provided a sort of ritual write-up template that will help you get all the commonly needed details down in Appendix 2.
You cannot just turn in a number of those sheets and expect to pass this requirement, though: you need to be much more in-depth.
So grab some paper and start thinking about the rite by asking some good questions.
Discussion : Discussion How did the rite go in terms of structure?
What things went wrong during the ritual? What things went right?
Who were the patrons of the rite, and who was the gatekeeper?

Did you have problems with saying the words without stumbling, or did everything come out smoothly?
Did you forget to bring a sacrifice?

Could you feel the presence of any deities, spirits, or powers?
