Mythology: Spiritual Ruler

It was a night with stars but no moon. The brightest star, whose name no one knew, shone particularly brightly on that day.

According to the "calendar" circulated among humans, Hecate knew that it was the day of her birth. Unlike other times, the spiritual day only occurs once every four years, and on that day, the moon in the sky is always missing.

Some gods once said that the day symbolizes the birth of evil. Some gods also said that the day was related to the creator of mankind.

But Hecate didn't care about this, so when the golden humans gathered in front of the temple to worship the gods, she secretly ran to other places to watch the stone tablets that recorded the "history".

Usually, humans did not allow her to approach the temple. Because it was a blasphemy to let the people abandoned by the gods approach the place where the gods were worshipped.

However, when the golden humans finished their sacrifice, on the way back, Hecate, who was in a hurry, was tripped by a hard object and then found this magical treasure.

She had seen this treasure many times, but none of them was a real treasure.

"Slate, slate, do you have a story to tell me today?"

In the narrow hut, Hecate held something that looked familiar and talked to herself.

"Are there really people who don't respect the gods in this world? I feel that the people in your story are completely different from Uncle Cohen and his friends."

However, the slate remained the same, without any other reaction.

"No, even though I'm grown up, can't I listen to stories when I grow up--"

The little girl was a little unhappy, but she still accepted the reality. After all, she hadn't seen many interesting stories on the slate in recent years.

[You should meditate]

There was no sound, no light and shadow, the ink merged and reorganized, and a line of handwriting slowly emerged from the slate.

[Today is the day for you to break through the fifth level, and it is also the first step into the ‘transcendent’]

[For the divine, ‘everything cannot be damaged’, only the power baptized by the rules can cause substantial damage to them]

“I know, why are you urging me? What level? It’s enough to have hands.”

Hekate pouted, but she still carefully placed the stone slab beside the bed.

When she first saw it, this broken stone slab with a yellowing surface was as tall as a person, but in her hands, it became the most suitable size for her to carry.

Hekate didn’t know where it came from, but she had some guesses. Because of the same style, she has seen too many of them in these years.

“It’s really troublesome, but as you said, when I enter the ‘transcendent’, I won’t need the assistance of rituals anymore.”

Muttering and standing up, Hekate took out several bottles and jars from the corner of the room.

The style was very rough, and it was marked with plant juices of different colors. She used a special method to ‘burn’ it with mud.

She had wanted to give this technology to humans, but they refused to accept it. In this era, humans did not have the ability to make "fire" on their own. This kind of thing made of fire was naturally regarded as a symbol of stealing divine power.

Picking up the small bottles one by one, Hecate poured some liquid out of them. She mixed them in a small bowl according to the proportion and stirred them counterclockwise for three and a half weeks with the stem of the moon soul flower.

She added one part of rain water, symbolizing [wind], two parts of steamed water, symbolizing [fire], and three parts of river water and four parts of spring water, symbolizing [water] and [earth] respectively.

This is just the most rudimentary method. Just like what she learned, incense and feathers of special life are more suitable for embodying [wind], representing communication, planning and thinking. Candles and scepters are more suitable for representing [fire], representing execution, initiative and willpower.

But now there are no corresponding conditions, or in other words, things like incense, except Hecate herself, even the gods on the sacred mountain have never heard of it, so she has always replaced it this way.

In addition to materials, in the field of spiritual numbers, "three" and "seven" have special meanings. Therefore, Hecate took half of "seven" and used the reverse method to symbolize the opposite of the material.

These are all efficient ways to use inferior materials. If the materials themselves have extraordinary power, she doesn't need to make it so complicated.

After the liquid was mixed, she waited for a while until the liquid in the small bowl was mixed and gradually turned into a strange color.

From the shelf next to her, Hecate took out a "pen" made of animal hair and branches, which was used to draw symbols and patterns.

"No matter how many times you look at it, you feel that this color is a bit strange."

Looking at the "colorful black" in the bowl, Hecate complained.

But there is no way. After the spiritual blending of earth, water, wind and fire, it represents "one third of chaos" in the mysterious field. So it doesn't matter what color this liquid is originally. Anyway, it looks like this color.

Picking up the pen, dipped a little in the liquid in the bowl, Hecate walked to the door.

She drew a special symbol on the ground. When the words were written, an invisible force was triggered.

It is said that these are words that have evolved from the original spiritual text. They are not as powerful as the source, but they can also be used by mortals.

And this one written by Hecate means "isolation".

Then, she wrote symbols representing "connection", "purification" and "sublimation" on the other three sides in turn.

When everything was finished, she connected the four points with a line and stood in the center.

"ΑΨ!"

Opening his mouth slightly, accompanied by two special bytes, the power in the four runes was linked.

There are three different types of rituals. One is the imitation of "history", one is the touch of "rules", and the last one is to please the high-ranking people.

Let's not talk about the other two. What Hecate is preparing now is the second ritual.

As the ritual runs, the rules that have been written in are touched. Indistinctly, Hecate feels that a vast world appears in her spiritual perception.

That is the [Spiritual World], an interface composed of spiritual power. However, at this time point, without special methods, no existence can establish a connection with the spiritual world.

But obviously, Hecate's incomplete ritual is one of the special methods.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground with her eyes slightly closed, Hecate mobilized her spirit. She followed the induction in the dark and connected to the vast spiritual world.

Countless weird lights and shadows flashed, and strange sounds sounded, but they were all purified one by one and then isolated. When everything returned to calm, in Hecate's spiritual ocean, there were only seven moon phases, reflecting on her illusory spirit.

At the same time, on the surface of Hecate's spirit, there were also moon phases. However, only four were real, and the remaining three were only virtual.

I wrote this chapter to test the effect and see how many people are interested in this kind of mystical content that focuses on wizards. If not, I will write it as a wizard, simple and crude, without making it so complicated. In fact, I also had a headache when writing this thing. After all, I know mythology myself, but mysticism can only be said to be half-baked.
