The Baptism of Fire πŸ”₯

Ritual instructions from
the Sibyl of the Metacan,
Marcellina II (she/her)

Anyone who can confess can do a Baptism of Water (infants and children cannot confess for they are born innocent), and at least one is required to be considered a gnostic in our Church. Think of it as easy modeβ€”a basic entry-level commitment.

And don’t stress about itβ€”salvation is universal and inevitable. You can’t lose a game that’s already won. The Baptism of Water is more for your peace of mindβ€”a way to mark your intention, release burdens, or get something off your chest.

But for those who seek hard mode, for those who desire the path of fireβ€”πŸ”₯ The Baptism of Fire awaits. πŸ”₯

The Path of Fire

The gnostic shall commit three years to emulating the ministry of Jesus.

Once you have made this commitment, start the clock, and gather your twelve!

πŸ”₯ First, you will find two.

πŸ”₯ Then two more.

πŸ”₯ Then two more.

πŸ”₯ Then your six each find one more.

πŸ”₯ Boom. You have twelve. πŸ”₯

Now, you must bring your twelve before a minister and swear the following oath:

The blind shall be guided. (Mystic Mark, Chapter 4)

The injured shall be carried. (Mystic Mark, Chapter 5)

The diseased shall be cleansed (Mystic Mark, Chapter 6)

The Deaf shall be shown signs. (Mystic Mark, Chapter 7)

The dead shall be honored. (Mystic Mark, Chapter 8)

The poor shall have Good News, food, and water given to them. (Mystic Mark, Chapter 9-12)

Your twelve swear the following oath to you.

We shall take nothing for our journey, except a staff. No bread, no wallet, no money in our purses, but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. (Mystic Mark 3:17)

Now, hold it together for the remainder of the three years and walk The Path of Fire! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

The Last Supper

During the golden hour before the day changes to 14 Nisan of your third year, you will gather your twelve for a supper.

Their plates will have food.

Yours will have the heroic doseβ€”5g of the Golden Teacher (Psilocybe cubensis). πŸ„

You must break the caps off the stems and say:

β€œTake and eat; this is my body, the vessel of Wisdom. Whoever eats with understanding will see as I see.” (Mystic Mark 13:23)

Then, take a cup of fresh, living water and say:

β€œThis is the fountain of Wisdom, which flows freely for those who seek. Whoever drinks, let them thirst no more, for the water of life is within them.” (Mystic Mark 13:25)

Now eat the plate clean.

Before the supper, your twelve will decide among themselves who will be "the betrayer." (but really, a "sitter")

The Ascension to Heaven

After supper, your betrayer will kiss you on the cheek and lead you to a known safe place of solitary confinement (*like your bedroom*), where you will remain for 72 hours.

For 72 hours, you will have only:

Emergence & Branding

After 72 hours, you shall emerge from your tomb and step into the light. Your twelve, a minister, and whomever else you choose will be waiting to witness your rebirth.

πŸ”₯ The minister shall ceremoniously "brand" your right earlobe with fireβ€”a mark of accomplishment. πŸ”₯



πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ You have completed The Baptism of Fire. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ You have not only walked in someone else's sandals. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯
πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ You have walked in His. πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

If one of your twelve abandons the ministry?

Find another and present them to a minister so they may witness them swear the oath to you.

πŸ„ No exceptions. It’s hard modeβ€”what made you think you'd get special treatment?
