Contents

Preparation

Female tattoo artists from nearby villages were brought to the Kuze Shrine to become Engravers.[1]

The Ritual

The Engravers gouged out their own eyes. This had several purposes:

  • It represented their complete dedication to the Kuze Shrine, demonstrating that they could never leave.
  • It increased their spiritual intuition, allowing them to discern the emotions of the red and Indigo ink,[2] and enabled them to engrave the tattoos on the Priestess without being led astray by sight.[3]
  • It allowed them to see the dreams of the priestess even when awake.[4]

Result

The Engravers were now able to participate in the Piercing of the Soul rite.
