the staircase - ritual

ritual; the staircase:

all the players you need is just one. yourself. you will also need: a staircase with no fewer than eleven steps but no more than sixteen; one small, portable, battery operated fan; one glass of water; one handful of dirt; one candle; matches or a lighter; as old a picture of the land which your home currently stands on as you can find; one picture of your home as it is today; one pair of six sided dice; two time keeping devices; one food offering; one mirror; one handful of ash; two-three dust bunnies; one small living creature (ex; an insect); one fingernail, lock of hair or other token plucked from your own body; salt; one sharp object.

Begin in the afternoon, make note of the time you begin. Stand at the bottom of the staircase, speak aloud the words "It is from here whence forth I shall commence."

on the first step, place the small fan, recite "here is the air that mortal breathes."

on the second step, place the glass of water. recite, "here is the water that moral drinks."

on the third step, spread the handful of dirt, covering as much of the step as possible. recite, "here is the earth on which mortal stands."

on the fourth step, place the unlit candle, laying the matches or lighter next to it. recite, "here is the fire that burns mortals hands."

on the fifth step, place the old picture of your home. recite, "here is the time that has come to pass."

on the sixth step, place the current picture of your home and roll the dice beside it. recite, "here is the present and the die is cast."

on the seventh step, place one of your time keeping devices. recite, "here comes the future, the time ticks by now."

on the eighth step, place your food offering. recite, "here is the offering for Devils mouth."

on the ninth step, place the mirror. recite, "here is my image, in gods likeness i trust." without hesitation.

on the tenth step, place the handful of ash and the dust bunnies. recite, "here is mortality, ashes and dust."

on the eleventh step, place your living creature. it must be alive and not able to escape. recite, "here is a life i present unto thee."

on the twelfth step, place the token from your body. recite, "and here is the essence extracted from me."

on the final step or landing, draw a line of salt. recite, "no further than here."

leave your objects on the staircase over night. evacuate all occupants of the house except the principal. gather up your sharp object and your second time keeping device, keep these with you at all times.

begin at the precise time you commenced the prelude. stand at the bottom of the staircase. plant your feet. do not move.

after an hour has passed, mount the first step and turn on the fan. face the top of the staircase. do not move, did not turn around or look behind you.

after the second hour has passed, mouth the second step. drink the entire glass of water. face the top of the staircase. plant your feet. do not move, do not turn around or look behind you.

note: it may be helpful to continue carrying the candle to step six and seven.

after the sixth hour has passed, mount the sixth step. take up the current picture of your home and rip it as many times as indicated by the roll of the dice, but do not allow it to fall to pieces. face the top of the staircase. do not move. do not turn around or look behind you.

after the seventh hour has passed, mount the seventh step. turn the clock forward has many hours as indicated by a roll of the dice on the previous step. do not turn the clock backwards. face the top of the staircase. plant your feet. do not turn around or look behind you. do not move.

after the eight hour has passed, mount the eighth step. take a bite of the food offering and swallow it. do not allow your face to betray any dislike or disgust. show as much enjoyment as you can. face the top of the staircase, plant your feet. do not move, do not turn around or look behind you.

after the ninth hour ends, mount the ninth step. pick up the motor and look into it, focusing on your own face. do not look at anything other than your face, not matter what tries to catch your eye. face the top of the staircase. plant your feet. do not move. do not turn around and look behind you.

after the tenth hour has passed, smash the mirror and mount the tenth step. use your sharp object to bring forth a fresh drop of your blood. allow the drop to fall on the pile of ashes and dust. face the top of the staircase. plant your feet. do not move. do not turn around or look behind you.

finally, turn around. congratulations you have banished the uninvited guest. get rid of all items immediately.
