A werewolf who has trouble finding balance before invoking the spirits to empower her rituals is at a disadvantage compared to Uratha who pay closer heed to the tenets of Harmony. To redress that balance, many ritemasters have taken to petitioning Mother Luna to watch over their workings. While Luna likely doesn’t pay any heed, the local spirits recognize the werewolf’s need to focus.
Many werewolves consider this rite holy in some way, a ritual created to assist with the greatest of workings. For Uratha of lower Harmony to use it seems rather profane to many dedicated ritemasters, but its use goes on. A new werewolf will likely not learn this rite first, but knowing it before she needs it to bolster her Harmony marks her as a highly dedicated ritualist.
Performing the Rite
A werewolf can only use this rite to assist in using another, and the same werewolf must perform both rites. She must prepare all of the materials required for the other rite before starting, and only enacts this rite when ready to start the other as well. The werewolf faces east if she cannot see Mother Luna or west if she is visible in the sky. From there, she takes one deep breath and howls her need for clear thought and balance to the four cardinal directions, turning clockwise. The rite takes less than two minutes to perform.
