Contaminatio Ritualis

Contaminatio Ritualis (Lat. "contamination ritual") is the event a pregnant Hexenbiest who has lost their powers must complete to regain them.

The process
The process starts by removing the still beating heart of another Hexenbiest which can be done by anyone, but after that the pregnant Hexenbiest must do the rest of the tasks herself. First they must cut off the hands and feet, and pluck out the eyeballs of the dead Hexenbiest. Then they must take them to a special field, bury everything in a certain place, the last bit buried with their own hands. If they are accepted all the flowers in the field in a large circle will die and they must then pick all the dead flowers. After this the flowers must be placed inside the dead Hexenbiest's body cavity, after which the body must be sewn shut by hand. After a period of several hours, the sewn body cavity must be slit back open and a red sludge will ooze out. The sludge must be collected and then rubbed onto the stomach of the former Hexenbiest throughout the remainder of her pregnancy. Once the baby is born, it has special and enhanced abilities due to the tasks its mother completed during her pregnancy.
