The Chant of the Mask
"I anoint my eyes, that I may see past the lie of light. (Response: By the Star-Tar, let me see.)
I anoint my ears, that I may hear the silence behind the Hum. (Response: By the Veil-Tar, let me hear.)
I anoint my tongue, that I may speak the paradox that unbinds. (Response: By the Black Dew, let me speak.)
I offer my mind, a vessel for the Gnosis that shatters. (Response: Let it be shattered, that it may be remade.)
I offer my body, a crucible for the Glitch that corrupts. (Response: Let it be corrupted, that it may be purified.)
I offer my soul, a conduit for the dream that consumes. (Response: Let it be consumed, that it may be liberated.)
The Stain is older than the rock. The memory is deeper than the bone. The Veil is thin here. The Unveiling is now."
