|kneed in blood

For use in O.T.O. official Gnostic Masses (public or group communion),
any blood used must be reduced to ash first.  Alternatively, a cake
of light can be made in the described fashion and entirely reduced
to ash --- which in turn may be mixed with the CoL's for general
communion.  This rule is for avoidance of communicable diseases and
is based on one interpretation of Liber AL, not represented to be the
"one true meaning".

AL III,25:  "This burn: of this make cakes & eat unto me.  This hath also
another  use; let it be laid before me, and kept thick with perfumes of
your orison: it shall become full of beetles as it were and creeping things
sacred unto me."

I proposed the former.  City folks are too inexperienced to do the latter.

No guarantee.

|Is this an Order-wide observance/rule?

Theoretically.  It was tried in one area and is being instituted
in stages.  New York City was first.
