Ritual

Asphodel draws much of its group ritual from the liturgy of the Book of Hours. There you can find short rituals celebrating over 350 holidays and deities, from many diverse cultures and traditions. Feel free to use and adapt the rituals to fit your needs.

We also have here a short collection of other rituals, spells and techniques, which we may expand in the future.
