[For the Ritus Magna: Coniuratio Umbrae et Famis]
Purpose:
These are not mere foods — they are edible spells, final acts of sealing after the rite.
-
The bread symbolizes binding the body's transformation — flesh fortified by darkness.
-
The wine seals the blood pact internally — spirit made sovereign through consumption of the black current.
Timing of Preparation:
-
Both the bread and wine must be prepared one day before the Ritus Magna — during the last hour of the waning moon (the eve before the new moon).
-
This allows them to ferment and mature in darkness, soaking in the energies of descent before being consumed at dawn after the ceremony.
