Rite of Cleansing (Level 1): This is to purify a person, place, or object and cleanse it from Wyrm-taint to make it safe for use by any and all. A circle is drawn by the ritesmaster in the dirt, walking counterclockwise around the infectious object with a lit torch or smoldering branch, then a branch of either willow or birch dipped in either pure water or snow to sprinkle on the afflicted object.
