MASS OF CHAOS ‘I’

Fra. Choronzon 999, Caosagi

The ‘I’ is for Saint Iustina, a lady of easy virtue who underwent a miraculous

conversion to Christianity during the time of the Visigoths (6th Century BC).

During her conversion her ‘virginity’ was restored and she was consecrated as a

‘Bride of Christ’, eventually forming her own monastic complex. Following her

death, many visions were reported, and miracles attributed to her include the

cure of a bishop ‘innocently infected’ by syphilis.

Pope Formosus canonized Iustina in 891. Regrettably, at the Cadaver Synod of

897, Foursomes’ exhumed corpse was tried and convicted of heresy, and

Iustina’s canonization was revoked.

When invoked to manifestation, Iustina may appear in any of four avatars:

1. A blushing virgin

2. A dominating Mother Superior

3. A voluptuous Whore

4. A ‘beast-clad’ Warrior Amazon

Iustina has been known to make useful oracular pronouncements; she will also

charge ritual objects and may be persuaded to grant succubi or incubi for

private indulgences. In return for such favors Iustina expects a willing

‘sacrificial’ victim, either male or female, as a plaything.

Procedure:

The temple is simply furnished, with a large, defined space as a zone where

“Everything is Permitted.” The Priest/ess may either retire behind a veiled area,

or stand adjacent to the ritual space.

THE INVOCATION

MT: “Lady of the stars, in the name IUSTINA we invoke you.”

All: “VENI IUSTINA” (Lat: “Come Iustina”)

Voice 1: “In the form of Ishtar, Divine lover of the East, Mistress of Pleasure,

Whore of Babylon - we invoke you.”

All: “VENI IUSTINA”

Voice 2: “In the form Sexburga, Saintly Matron of the North, Mistress of the

rod, Abbess of flatlands - we invoke you.”

All: “VENI IUSTINA”

Voice 3: “In the form Hippolyte, Beast-clad athlete of the West, Mistress of

Bondage, Queen of Amazons - we invoke you.”

All: “VENI IUSTINA”

Voice 4: “In the form Coelestis, teasing virgin of the South, Mistress of the

whisk, Goddess of Carthage - we invoke you.”

All: “VENI IUSTINA”

The invocations of the 4 avatars of Iustina may be delivered as a ‘round’. Each

voice begins with the voice indicated, and following each choral proclamation,

continues with the next voice in sequence, and so returns to voice 1.

During the invocation, those celebrants not reciting should maintain an eventimed

handclap.

During the invocation, each participant, in turn, moves into the “Everything is

permitted” space for the duration of one verse of the invocation. On entering

the space, they are hoodwinked, and at the proclamation VENI IUSTINA, that

person may remove the hoodwink and select a replacement. Within the space,

celebrants act as “Hostages to Fortune” - offerings to tempt the manifestation of

Iustina. Hostages should behave in a manner they deem appropriate to lure an

avatar of Iustina into manifestation, and should be encouraged in their

provocations by other celebrants.

THE LECTION

“Know me well, for I am Gnosis

Incarnate within this lithe and sensual frame;

I’ll sing you wisdom, work miracles and wonders.

Your touch, your lips, upon the Priestesses’ limbs

Are my commands. What rouses her libido

Does me honour and rewards are sweet.

Now which of you is brave

Or fool enough to meet in this space.

let me tempt you forward,

Feast your eyes - these shanks and thighs

And cheeks and curves and coral-secret petals

Beckon you to pleasure and pain.

But hold! If you forbear to pleasure me

I take my ease from watching as you

Writhe upon the caresses of the lash,

And strain upon the bonds that hold you fast.

So show me lust and passion now,

Pleasure and Pain conjoined in Gnosis. Ecstasy.

At the moment that the manifestation appears, the invocation ceases, though the

clapping continues, and may even increase in intensity. Whichever avatar of

Iustina has manifested is now free to amuse herself with the ‘Hostage’ in the

Free Space. Other celebrants may choose to distract Iustina, but may become

the focus of her attentions. Similarly, anyone wishing to ask Iustina for a boon

must enter the free space.
