The horror
Speth intends to give Senech some insight on what it means to be a Babeestor Gor. If he wishes to pretend to be one, then he should know a bit of why we worship the goddess.
Speth and her initiates intend to invoke the 'Blood Rite of Remembrance'. It is rarely done because it is quite painful, both physically and emotionally. It is sometimes used as a penance for sisters who have veered off the path. All emerge stronger in determination and purpose.
Non initiates can participate (or are forced to), but this is dangerous as the rite can cause madness if they are not stout of heart and body.
Speth has vague memories of this rite being performed on tricksters (need roll), but it seems to fit the crime so she's going to do it anyway.
Through the power of the goddess and large amounts of blood beer, EACH participant relives the other sisters pain and suffering that led them to the path of the goddess.
Senech will be given a choice:
Participate or lose her patronage.

"Senech will be given a choice:

Ummm ok, Babeestor Gor Pain or lost patronage? That's easy. "Hello, Patrons'r'us? Yeah, I'm a crazy, furry, lovable guy looking for a patron? any available? No, I did not cause the green age to end! Well fig you too!"

Items of significance to remembering?
Cool idea by the way.
Pilch is in there too (hot
Pilch is in there too (hot blooded).
All earthly objects and possessions of an initiates old life are ritually destroyed during initiation. So no items. But each sister has scars of her initiation that serve as a reminder of the old life that was burned and cut away.
'Through blood and pain and rage I have become hardened like the keen edge of an axe to the will of the goddess.'
not universal
"All earthly objects and possessions of an initiates old life are ritually destroyed during initiation"
This is not the case with some of your initiates. Though it was the case at your temple, if in fact that's how you want it to be.
rephrase: All of Speths
rephrase:
All of Speths earthly objects and possessions were ritually destroyed during initiation.
I will have to think about my initiates on the drive up.
