The use of physical totems or repositories of power has always been central to the ritual process; there is a two-way flow of potential between the actor and the object, whereby the object, which has a certain mystical, semantic, ritual, etc. significance, makes its inherent power available to the wielder (who is esoterically worthy of it, ie., has prepared his environment and himself through acts of purification, defilement, arrangement, etc., such that he is in a state of eligibility of the fetish object), and at the same time through incantation, gesture, and the performance of prescribed rites the actor imbues the object at the center of the rite _with_ significance and indeed legitimizes it as an element within the ontology of the belief system in question.

lyrics
I nap in blood
Waiting for rain
I nap in blood
Fingernails through the soil
Through the bloody filth
Of mass grave
In the rain
On solstice, we stir
Lightning courses underground
The grass moves like waves
On this rotting mass grave
We have slept
Stacked by soldiers’ bayonets
Made to lie in sudden trench
Waiting, waiting for rain
On solstice, we stir
Climbing corpses underground
The grass moves like waves
Over this rotting mass grave
Rising putrid flesh
Restless pit of death
The corpses move like waves
I nap in blood
Waiting for rain
I nap in blood

I saw these lads performing at the Brightside in Brisbane, with Blood Incantation. They slapped hard, tight as a nun's butthole. Played the whole show the day of the heatwave in 40 degrees and broken A/C, hot AF but they delivered, and more. BI drummer called it quits 3/4 through the show, not them. Def stole the show. alexatl
