How to do an arsgang: (Year Walk)
Once a year you would take a walk, on Samhain.
You take this walk to gain wisdom and magical abilities.
You may also have some contact with spirits and trolls.
To start, you will need to fast on the day you will be starting your walk.
Avoid doing anything that will tip someone off about what you are going to do.
When you are getting ready to leave, do not allow anyone to know what you are about to do. (This is the first dangerous part of this ritual, especially if you are a woman.)
When you set off, you must not have seen any fire before you leave the house
If you have seen any indoor fire on that day you will need to do this.
You will strike a fire steel and flint in front of yourself outside before setting out on your walk.
This will dampen any hindering effect of seeing the other fire.
5. Don’t talk to anyone or wave at them.
6. If someone greets you, ignore them.
Must not smile no matter how amusing any situation is.
Do not allow yourself to be frightened no matter the situation.
You must be mentally and physically centered and sincerely walking in stillness and silence.
Your purpose is to walk to the cemetery where family/ancestors are buried.
12. Smiling or laughing at the events that are seen during the yearly walk is strictly prohibited in spite of the fact that they are often amusing and exciting.
i. It is said that whoever violates this taboo, their faces will be forever frozen in the twisted shape as they smile or laugh.
13. When the persons performing these walks have completed this ritual for seven consecutive years and have abided by all of the rules a man will come up riding on the last day of the seventh year and his neck will be on fire and he will have a rune stick in his mouth.
a. If the person who has completed their walks and is a good person and daring, they will run over and snatch the rune stick from the rider's mouth.
14. If the person or persons complete two more years of this walking ritual, they will have a chance to get a dwarf hat.
a. This will make a total of nine years of walking.
15. They will be held as a great prophet for they will know how to answer all questions and find out all hidden things and to do all kinds of divination without having to do the yearly walks ever again.
16. Whenever they wish to perform predictions, they need only just put on their hat and take the rune stick in their hand.
