thinkin bout @ChironArmand's contract-clearing statements. tried ad libbing it before my last hyssop bucket, couldn't get the words right. lemme try that again...

Exalted ancestors, it was your desire to be free; it was your will to be free from circumstances, that your children would serve no masters, nor their children's children.

Therefore from the waters that move under the earth & from the inexhaustible earth send up this blessing to me; and I in turn declare it & decree it & return it to you, to the inexhaustible earth & the waters that move under the earth, to the whole line, to you & all my dead:

It is my will to dissolve, sever, annul and be released of all oaths, contracts, allegiances, bindings and vows that compel and confine this lineage and all its children;

and in turn that my dead for my sake be released, absolved, unbound and be freed of the vows, bonds, allegiances, contracts & oaths that confine and compel them: they are fulfilled.

Exalted ancestors, declare and decree it for all your children; and I who am yet alive declare and decree it for myself and for all our dead.
