Feed the Earth: (Level 0) This is a rite used in a variety of situations: as penance, thanksgiving or propitiation. The Garou prays while bleeding on the earth (the soil should be dry enough to drink in the blood). How the wounds are made varies by tradition: clawing or biting oneself, cutting oneself with ceremonial knives, self-flagellation. A version of this performed by some female Garou uses menstrual blood.
