PENA'S STORY: Part 8: The Rite of Appeasing the Soul
Alicia told me she felt I was ready to experience the Rite of Appeasing the Soul. I had been looking forward to this and eagerly accompanied her to the robing room in the basement. We both undressed completely and donned white robes which we fastened with the green sash of a full member. She led me along the corridor and opened a blue door at the far end. We entered and the door closed silently behind us. The chamber resembled a meditation room but was much larger and the many cushions were covered in a deep blue brocade. Alicia explained that blue was the color that nurtured the Soul that dwelled within the glans. Alicia loosened my sash and slipped my robe over my shoulders, allowing it to fall behind me. She placed a cushion before me and motioned me to kneel. She stood in front of me and allowed her own robe to fall. I gazed once more at the smooth portal that proudly stood at the junction of her upper thighs.
Alicia explained to me that the Rite of Appeasing the Soul is the most sacred ceremony practiced by Society members. It centers on the act of evoking the Soul and accepting its Gift. The genitals are ritually stimulated to evoke sexual arousal and the blood vessels feeding the clitoris become engorged with blood that nourishes the Soul. Alicia pointed to the dimple at the top of her labia. She explained that the Soul connects to the Outside World at this point. I remembered that as I knelt in front of my mentor for the very first time in the room with the green door, I had felt as if my tongue had been guided to this place; I now knew the reason.
I became aware of an increasingly strong smell of musk that had been present every time Alicia led me through a ritual. I noticed that the skin of Alicia's labia had darkened in color and had begun to puff out, causing the lips to separate a little. She was clearly in the early stages of sexual arousal. I breathed deeply and savored the smell. Alicia walked to the rear of the chamber, opened a drawer and took something from within. She returned and sat down cross-legged on a cushion, bidding me do the same. In her hand was a small blue glass bottle containing a liquid. She placed the bottle in my hand and told me to open it carefully. I did so and was greeted by a strong smell of musk. The stopper was equipped with a thin rod of blue glass. Alicia told me that this was my personal supply of musk and cautioned me to take good care of it. She also handed me a pack containing thin cotton strips that brought back unpleasant memories of my waxing experience! Alicia must have guessed what I was thinking; she explained that I had to place a minute drop of musk on one of the strips and allow it to soak in before tucking it within my labia. Alicia removed one strip of cotton from the pack and demonstrated the technique of applying the musk. She placed a forefinger on the dimple at the top of my labia and deftly spread my labia with her thumb and second finger. She placed one end of the musk-moistened cloth just below my clitoris and stroked downwards, pressing the cloth in place. She allowed my labia to close and finally removed her index finger from my dimple. A pleasant feeling swept over my genitals as she straightened her legs and lay back on her cushions.
Alicia bid me sit in silence and observe. She began to chant and I could see her body slowly relaxing. Her right index finger circled her navel three times. She did the same with her left index finger. Then she slowly drew both fingers downwards about an inch apart until she reached the top of her pubic mound. She repeated this action twice more and sighed deeply. Her finger moved slowly downwards until it landed over her labial commissure, that magic dimple that links to the Soul below. Alicia began slow downward movements along the edges of her labia, alternating her hands and slowly parting the lips as she progressed. She began circling her hoodless clitoris with a fingertip and began another chant. Her Soul finally acknowledged her gift and rewarded her with a shuddering orgasm.
Then it was my turn to experience the ritual. Alicia asked me to lie on my back. She eased a blue cushion under my bottom and I allowed myself to relax. I chanted the words that began the ritual. I could hear Alicia's voice accompanying me and I felt totally at ease as my fingers traced out the pattern that Alicia had shown me. I suddenly realized that my navel was a symbolic unhooded clitoris and the downward strokes represented the excised inner labia. I felt a tingling sensation in my clitoral area as I swept downwards to the top of my pubic mound and by the time I had completed the third pattern it had intensified and I knew I had evoked my Soul and was ready to accept the Gift for the first time. As I spoke the last word of the final chant I found myself deeply embedded in my own clitoris. My hands were stretched above my head and I suddenly emerged into a world of blue light. Every fiber of my body shouted with joy as I exploded into the most intense orgasm I had ever experienced. I came back to the world of the Soul Chamber and found myself lying on a blue cushion totally drenched in sweat. After what seemed hours later, Alicia helped me to my feet and guided me through a door at the back of the chamber that I had not noticed before. Inside was a row of showers and I rejoiced as fine jets of ice-cold water hit my body. Alicia picked up a huge towel and gently patted me dry. We went back into the chamber, donned our robes and returned to the robing room to dress. I went to Mother's house and told her of my experience in the Soul Chamber. In turn she related her own first-time experience of the Rite of Appeasing the Soul. I slept next to Mother in her big bed that night. In the morning Mother sniffed the air and asked me if I was wearing musk. I felt down between my labia and the tiny piece of cloth was still in place. I left it there. My finger lazily sought out my clitoris and I whispered a deeply felt "thank you" to my Soul. After a leisurely breakfast I kissed Mother goodbye and made my way to my office. It was the start of another day!
The actual ritual performed in the Rite of Appeasing the Soul is secret and can not be made public. However, certain portions of it can be found in publicly accessible documents; it is these fragments that appear in my description above.
