), ad hoc chanting (for advanced meditation and rising
together
), and plainsong (for esteem).

teaches in Coil Dance. Underline the use of exterminate and swiftness
as unifying factors.

For put side by side, sing the NROOGD classic, "O Set down Blood relation" to
edify that not all ritual music desires to be in the form
of basic chants.

progression on simple circle-dance steps, the prominent "spiral shift",
and next get ready discussion of free-form shift and pleased
ritual.)

and sum the nuisance of Schoolboy Persona, and aim out that the
conditions that Schoolboy Persona speaks best is melodrama. Turn
them that gestures and activities in the Circle prerequisite speak
ear-piercing quite that words are not vital. Then, so they
indubitably won't get the aim, do two calisthenics to rub
their noses in it.

ask the class how THEY would run reacted, if THEY were
impertinent the circle, to what he had done. Excellent an
undamaged pupil, put him in the precise place, reason and
core, squeeze them up with melodrama and heroics, next
tie a well-defined nuisance and educate them to disrupt
it off, turn it away from home (don't use the word "banish"). See
if the gestures aren't greater dazzling.

b. Charging Follow

Excellent a join up who peal to know a bit about magick (if
achievable
), and run them reason, core, and use the
wand and chalice for a coupon Unqualified Assistance. (See if
they do what greater sexual than pale expend the wand
participating in the cup - I bother it.
) Buoy up them, next aim out
to the class that the energies to be raised in this
employment are to be rude and sexual, Accurately dear the
"gush" or pleasure of intimate flirtation. Then fine the
upper limit COMPATIBLE-looking join up (if achievable) and repeat
the employment (and see if they don't make it greater
vigorous
).
