The elder mother gathers the liminal one out of bed. She dresses in earthen skins, her belly round and ripening. She is led blindfolded down a well trodden path into the forest and on into a clearing. A circle of mothers around a fire at the center, tended by maidens in flowing white dress... The ceremony ends as the liminal one is offered gifts and talismans to remember her strength and power as she faces the decimation of the one who came before and is welcomed to the ancient line of the Mother.
