Grooming the Newcomer

Category

taghairm
When a new Bastet enters an existing group, she must be welcomed with this ritual; until then, she's considered naa, an untrustworthy stranger. First, the ritespeaker questions the newcomer, often using Gifts like Sense Truth (Truth of Gaia) and Righteous Gaze; she then asks others whether or not they've heard of the newcomer. If the examination satisfies the ritespeaker and the host of the gathering, they both welcome the newcomer into the group. All attendees rise and greet their new cousin with gestures of affection and offer her gifts of food and drink. From then on, that Bastet is always welcome.
