Rites:

In Viadescioism, rites are structured, ritualistic acts that serve as expressions of change aligned with an individual’s will, embodying the transformation and evolution of various states of being. These rites involve the projection of one’s skaknao a combination of mental, physical, and spiritual kna into the world to interact with the kna, the essence of existence, thus facilitating change. This process is seen as an artistic expression, where practitioners manipulate aspects of their existence to instigate desired changes. Rites focus on the transformative process itself, rather than specific outcomes, reflecting a deep engagement with personal will and intention. Viadescioism offers a broad and flexible interpretation of rites, accommodating a wide array of practices and approaches that enable change across all realms of existence, both spiritual, mental, and physical, making them essential tools for personal development.

Rituals:

In Viadescioism, rituals are specific actions within a rite, each with symbolic and ceremonial importance. They are practical expressions that embody the intentions of the practitioner, acting as key components in manifesting the purpose of a rite. The diversity of rituals is a significant aspect of Viadescioism, allowing for various methods to achieve a singular goal, similar to different recipes used in making soup. Each ritual is rich in symbolic meaning, chosen to align with the rite’s objective and the practitioner’s intentions. They also have a ceremonial quality, enhancing solemnity and reverence, which aids in creating a focused and sacred space. Viadescioism encourages personalizing rituals, promoting creativity and personal expression, making them more meaningful and effective. These rituals often include gestures, words, actions, or objects and may involve connecting with or honoring different aspects of existence or entities.

Viadescioism identifies eight distinct schools of Rites, each focusing on a unique aspect of transformation and change:

1. Knala (Canalis, κανάλι [kanáli], Conduction): This school focuses on establishing sacred spaces. It involves creating environments conducive to practice, where Kna can flow unimpeded.
2. Vava (Convocatio, κλήση [klisi], Convocation): This school deals with summoning. It involves calling forth entities, Kna, or states of consciousness.
3. Owa (Transmutatio, μεταλλαγή [metallagé], Transmutation): Here, the emphasis is on changing forms. Practitioners learn to transform physical, spiritual, or mental states into desired outcomes.
4. Adalama (Sentientes, αίσθηση [aisthēsē], Sensation): This school pertains to perceiving beyond the mundane. It involves developing heightened awareness of internal and external stimuli, transcending normal sensory boundaries.
5. Xafa (Meditatio, μελέτη [melétē], Meditation): Focused on the concentration of mental faculties. It teaches deep contemplation and mindfulness, leading to inner clarity and peace.
6. Bai (Imperium, δεσμός [desmos], Subjugation): This school is about control. Exerting influence over Skaknao.
7. Ard (Exilium, ἀποτίναγμα [apotinagma], Excommunication): Specializing in the expulsion of unwanted essences. It’s about cleansing and protecting spaces or individuals from negative influences.
8. Skaqa Ona (Forma, μορφή [morphē], Form): This school is centered on creation. It involves the manifestation of new forms,
