SACRED RITUALS: MMXII

The third annual meeting of the Ghost in the Cloak Society of Life Abundant in the Face of Death Imminent is adjourned...

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. 
Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.

THE CONGREGATION: MMXI

The second annual meeting of the Ghost in the Cloak Society of Life Abundant in the Face of Death Imminent  has flared and vanished.  This year's chosen temple was the forever unsanctified Cinebar (this place ruined my fucking life... I love it there).  All love and respect to everyone who came out to celebrate the long road we've all been walking.  

Thanks especially to:
SBEN95 and CJAR03 for helping set up.
RLYN04 for making the t-shirts and posters.
JRUI04 and crew for the libations.
CHEF07 and JVAD09 for the nourishment.
MAXD95 for the image captures.
SUME04 and TDEG09 for forging the keys.

Good times.

THE KEY

The key to infinitely repeating doorways...
Names eviscerated...
Letters and numbers re-represent the shell...
If your collection of matter is tattooed by any contributing member of ATAK then you are entitled to one of these objects. Hammer and steel baptism awaits.

THE SHRINE

All kneel...

THE STONE

The Blood Stone of Unholy Pain and Beauty.
The coronation throne upon which the keys to the ATAK kingdom are forged.
