Day Of Ascension

The Day Of Ascension is a funeral ritual held for a deceased Psyche in Psychelia in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. It is called this because it is believed that a Psyche will potentially ascend to join the Great Ancestors that watch over the Psyches.

After the Mortuary rank has embalmed the body, all ranks of the Psyches are gathered around a dissolution chamber while the Cleric prays for the Psyche's spirit to be joined with the Great Ancestors before the body is put into the dissolution chamber, where it is dissolved into earthly elements and disposed of outside of Psychelia.
