  • Several versions of this Rite exist, for varying tribes (note the Black Fury version Rite: Acceptance). However, the tribes that practice this Rite most frequently are the Uktena and theChildren of Gaia. Any other tribe member would need to have a firm reason why they'd be carrying a rite like this around. A Garou candidate for the Rite of Adoption must first undergo a period of testing by a council of elders from the tribe she wishes to join. Similar in nature to the rigors of the Rite of Passage, these tests allow the council to assess the sincerity of her decision and her commitment to her new tribe. The actual rite consists of a ceremony in which the petitioner renounces her old tribe and casts aside any outward symbols of her previous membership, including tribe-specific fetishes and talens. In the presence of all participants in the Rite of Adoption, the candidate changes into Crinos form, symbolic of her First Change. The witnesses then offer welcome, choose a name for her and bring her into the tribe as a cub. This rite may also be used on Kin (or any other mortal the tribe wishes to adopt). The process is essentially the same, but the tests are tailored to the Kin in question. Instead of the First Change, however, the Kin appears before the Elders naked, and is marked with the appropriate glyphs for the tribe, symbolizing a new birth.
