====Dal'yn Ceremony=== | |||
A little known practice in Betazoid culture, this particular ceremony bonds two souls together giving the individuals a sense of each other no matter how far apart they may be. It resembles Vulcan Bonding and is otherwise known as a spiritual commitment ceremony. Usually these are attended by a small gathering of friends and family, with a few representatives from each of the Betazed Houses. | |||
===='''Caitia Panelle'''==== | |||
The rite to ensure a good, healthy life full of lessons and prosperity that is enacted upon birth. This ceremony ensures the gift of empathy and telepathy, also, so they can feel the connection to others and the Goddess herself. | |||
===='''Ascension-Kara'''==== | |||
This is the ceremony that adopts others and melds them into a house by the prayers and blessings of current members. The ceremony can be held by any number of individuals, but is most commonly done by one. The individuals adopted can be of any given race or gender, and have to be entered with the purest of intentions and hearts. This usually lasts for about one week and is strung out by a series of events that leads up to the finale. It mostly involves chants and, depending on the house, dress. | |||
===='''Imzadi Fordone'''==== | |||
Reaching the eve of marriage, Betazoids would often engage in a ceremony that commits them to their partners. This will forsake any other mates for the duration of their marriage and, if broken, can be faced by a number of repercussions. During the relationship, a Betazoid female would often run her fingers over her mate's face, indicating her fascination and dedication to him. In this rite, however, this step is taken one degree higher. The physical connection is met with psychical methods and is kept, behind closed doors. | |||
===='''Incada'''==== | |||
An old Betazoid rite and ritual to cleanse one's thoughts and focus their mind and body onto reality and the true core inside. It's used to diminish the bad and take in the positive good mediums for this right include a warm tub and plenty of sweet smelling oils. | |||
