Ritual:The Badger's Burrow

The Badger's Burrow (4)

Requirements:	A Caern, at least 1 Ragabash Werewolf or Nuwisha. The Ragabash need not be the ritualist.
Components:	Enough Peyote to supply each member of the ritual, a mirror, and a strongly scented oil.
Cost:	10 Gnosis split between all participants.
Cast Time:	10 minutes.
May contribute to:	Wisdom, Cunning, Cleverness
Purpose:	Creates a "False Caern" packet, to protect the true Caern Packet.

Gather all participants for this rite into a circle. If you are the lone participant, this is acceptable. All should kneel or sit in the circle, with the ritualist and Ragabash/Nuwisha at opposite ends. The ritualist should place a drop of the oil on the mirror and mime taking Peyote, then destroy a Peyote tag. The effects of the Peyote do not occur at this time. Stare into the mirror for 10 seconds. Pass the mirror around the circle, each character should repeat the process, sans the drop of oil. When the mirror returns to the ritualist, say “As the badger burrows into his den and hides it from the hunter, we do the same to protect our Caern. Our burrow runs deep, but on the surface rests a decoy.” Move the mirror to the center of the circle and return to the seated position. The ritualist should ask the Ragabash/Nuwisha to tell a story of how the badger protects his home. Characters may continue to tell stories after this first story finishes. In total, from beginning to end this ritual should take at least 10 minutes. At the end, spend 10 Gnosis between all characters, then fill out a 3x5 card as follows:
