The second is a devout priest who is also recognized by the gods. He will be the key to presiding over the ceremony. The third is to prepare a recipient object to be blessed. This recipient needs to be an extraordinary object in itself and has the same spirituality as the god being prayed.
Finally, that is the fourth point, the secret tradition says that the divine blessing ceremony is a large-scale "temple" level ceremony, so it needs to be held in a venue that meets the specifications, and this venue must be a temple-level ceremony site.
After reading the entire secret book, Dorothy frowned slightly and fell silent for a moment. While reading, she had already begun to compare her own situation with the standards in the secret book to see if she could hold the blessing ceremony.
'First and foremost, the most important point... is the recognition of the gods. There is no problem with this. The so-called 'Initiate' God should be the system, or something equivalent to the system. No matter what, this mysterious system possesses some of the abilities of the gods. I, who can use it, am equivalent to the 'Initiate' God Aka, so recognition is not a problem. Why shouldn't I recognize myself?
'The next step is the priest... This is no problem either, as long as I recognize who the priest is and she believes in me, that's all. Neveu, Vanya... even I can do this. Of course, the most effective one is Vanya, who is a priest herself. In this ritual, the main priest is the key, and there are no requirements for other auxiliary priests. I can let the corpse dolls take on the role.
'The next step is to get the recipient of the blessing. This requires a special item of the same spirituality as the God of Blessing. For me, it is a special item of 'enlightenment'. I have this with me, so it's no problem.
"But the last condition... is a problem. It requires a temple-level religious ceremony site... I can't find one..."
Frowning, Dorothy thought to herself that she had already met three of the four conditions for the blessing ceremony, but the last one was extremely difficult for her.
Dorothy, who was not a novice in occultism, understood the so-called levels of religious ceremony sites. This was a way of dividing the requirements for rituals. In the mysticism of this world, religious ceremony requirements were divided into four levels, and religious ceremonies of different levels needed to be held in ritual sites of different levels.
The four levels from low to high are niches, temple corridors, temples, and holy places.
The shrine level is the lowest-level religious ritual site, and generally refers to small religious sites such as roadside statues, totem poles in the forest, rune stones on the mountains, and shrines in homes. Various small religious ceremonies such as seeking holy emblems, making holy water, and seeking small blessings need to be held in these places.
The temple corridor level corresponds to the general-sized temples of gods, such as the small city and town churches of the Luminous Religion, the tribal totems of the Shamanism, the sacrificial sites of various cults in ordinary city strongholds, etc. The religious ceremonies held here will be of a higher level.
Temple-level refers to large temples of gods. The corresponding system of the Radiant Church is the core cathedrals of the major dioceses. They are usually located in the capitals of the major countries on the main continent, with the archbishop of the Red God sitting in charge, such as the Prayer Cathedral of Plit and the Purification Cathedral of Ivig. In Shamanism, it is the place where the "wild festival" is usually held. The first temple of the Sea Abyss Church is on the White Tears Island. By the way, the Temple of the Judge of Heaven in Addis is a large temple, which also corresponds to the temple level.
The last level of holy places refers to important places where gods have left traces in the world. They are also holy places of various religions. For the Glorious Religion, these are the four holy places including Mount Saint and the Cathedral of Redemption, which correspond to the Savior and the Three Saints respectively. The headquarters of other cults in the world are usually located in their respective holy places. The place where the Shamanism holds the "Great Wilderness Festival" is also suspected to be a holy place.
The blessing ceremony is a typical religious ceremony that needs to be held in these specific religious ceremony venues. The key is that it is also a temple-level religious ceremony, and the requirements for the ceremony venue are not low. It must at least be at the level of the Cathedral of the Glowing Church Diocese. This put Dorothy in a difficult position.
"Where the hell can I find a temple-level ritual site? I've been in the secret world for more than a year and I don't even have a fixed base, let alone a temple?"
Thinking about the requirements of the divine blessing ceremony, Dorothy frowned and thought in embarrassment that her so-called Rosicrucian was basically a shell society, and the god Akasha was just an empty shell god. Where would there be a temple to hold the ceremony? Not only was there no temple in the world, but it was almost impossible for Dorothy to build one.
The construction of a temple of a god with extraordinary significance requires not only a lot of professional knowledge, but also a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. The entire construction process is a large-scale ceremony and cannot be built casually.
Let's not talk about whether Dorothy has hundreds of thousands of pounds to build a temple. Even if she does, it will take several years to build. Moreover, this kind of pagan temple cannot be built within the sphere of influence of the Glowing Cult. Otherwise, if it is discovered, the temple will be demolished and the people will be gone. If it is built in an area far away from the sphere of influence of the Glowing Cult, it is equivalent to building it far away from civilized and developed areas. With the level of productivity, it will definitely not be completed in a few years. It will take at least ten years.
In a nutshell, building a temple by herself is definitely not an option for Dorothy now. She has no money and no time to build a temple. She must find a solution to the fourth item of the blessing ceremony.
While thinking this, Dorothy took out her "Wenhai Navigation Diary" and continued writing after turning to Beverly's communication page.
"Hello? Are you there? By the way, the secret book you sold me said that a temple-level ritual site is needed to perform the Divine Blessing Ceremony? Is this a must? What can we do if there is no special temple?"
Dorothy finished writing, then stopped and waited. After a while, Beverly's notes appeared in front of her.
"There is no special temple... Actually, it is not impossible. There is a way to solve your problem."
"What is it?"
"You can borrow another's temple to perform the blessing ceremony for your god."
"What? The temple can be borrowed from someone else?" Dorothy was surprised when she saw Beverly's response, and then she wrote quickly, and Beverly responded immediately.
"Yes~ The blessing ceremony is not a ceremony that requires strict identification of the ceremony site. You only need to make a slight modification to the temple of another god, change some of its symbols and meanings, and temporarily replace the main deity of the temple with another ceremony, and then you can perform the blessing ceremony.
"This temporary replacement ceremony is not particularly difficult. I have it here too. I can sell it to you if you want. However, this ceremony requires a lot of fanfare. It cannot be done secretly. So you should first inform the family whose temple you want to borrow... or just snatch it away directly.
"By the way, the temple you come to replace must be the original one, and it cannot have been replaced once before. Nowadays, many esoteric believers outside the Radiance cannot afford to build their own temples, so they like to look for those ancient temples that have fallen and been abandoned in remote places to transform their own gods. This kind of temple is equivalent to having undergone a replacement ceremony once, and it cannot be performed again, so you have to be selective when choosing."
