[Event] Ceremony for the Praise of Xiosia
« on: February 19, 2014, 06:50:04 am »
[ooc] I'd like to try to revive the tradition we had of holding public Xiosia ceremonies in the Garden, starting even this Sunday at noon PST, that's 8 pm GMT I think.
It's planned as some readings from the Way of Peace, a song, reflections on the balance of Xiosia, and a dance/chant.  I will bring some food and drinks. Please feel free to bring food to share.

The SoX (Sons of Xiosia) have a few members still around (Deror? Thoss? Sacho?) and the DoX have a few new members - congratulations! I know there are other followers of Xiosia - you don't have to be in the SoX or DoX to participate.
 The Ceremony  has room for three or four reader participants, a musician, and a dance leader. Any volunteers?
Let's see how it goes, ok?

Good timing to celebrate the start of Yndoli and to praise the powers of Karkath.

Will there be a tree felling competition for the men to partake in? 
(yes, that was deliberately chauvinistic )

I have a character with a relic of Xiosia, a bit of bark taken from the tree while Xiosia was inhabiting it, granting favors to people vowing to worship her. He isn't a worshiper himself, mind you. Also it is just a user book written at the time not anything that could be considered official or anything.

Things are shaping up for the Ceremony of Xiosia- thank you to the folks who have already stepped forward to co-create. [Thanks to Deror, Yenida, Kroz, Bilbous, and Llarnia so far] There are still a few more roles to fill how about some international time zone players???

 ::)  ::) plus a surprise is probable.  ;D  ;D

Thanks LigH for reminding us of:
Yndoli
[Yndolin.png from the PS wiki link:]

"Yndoli, the tenth month in Yliakum calendars, signals the end of the cold season and the general warming of the climate in the cone. Avian creatures take to the skies and animals begin their mating rituals, while many beasts shed their old skins and grow in their new natural armours. The sign of Karkath the Beast Lord enhances the natural ability of one to make a favourable impression on those encountered, as mating hormones tend to make one more desirable, but also lowers the reasoning ability of many intelligent creatures.

For the convenience of planning events, Yndoli was mapped to 22st Febuary – 31th March, having 38-39 days on Earth.
"

Spring! Pheromones! Loss of control and reason! What better excuses to celebrate?

If you'd like to volunteer for a small role in the ritual part please let me know ASAP!
AND Please feel free to bring food and drink to share.  :thumbup:

Sunday Feb 23 noon PST , that's 8 pm GMT. In the Secret Garden.  The ceremony is open to all, you do not have to be a Xiosian to attend.

Rigwyn there won't be a tree cutting event at this season's ceremony. Maybe next time you can axe Dakkru ...  :o

So I laughed immaturely at that quote passage and have determined Evirea will now refer to promiscuous people as raging Karkaths.

I was kidding about cutting down trees... But harvesting wood sounds like a nice addition. Any plans to implement woodworking or carpentry?

Most probably. Bowmakers will need wood.
