16.3 The Grand Resonance Rite
During a Celestial Convergence (alignment of all five sigils), the entire Celestial Order performs the Grand Resonance Rite — a synchronized chant that briefly allows mortal minds to perceive the Ætheric Net and receive guidance. The rite requires all five domain-specialists to stand at their respective positions in the Resonance Chamber while the High Resonant conducts from the centre. The last Grand Resonance Rite was performed 37 years ago; the next Convergence is anticipated within a decade.
