The Mass of Saint-Sécaire

The Mass of Saint-Sécaire


by Micha F. Lindemans




Until the beginning of the 20th century, farmers in Gascogne (France) believed that villains avenged themselves on their enemies by having a priest perform the Mass of Saint-Sécaire.
It is not commonly known amongst priests, and of those who do, only a handful dare performing it. Only the most corrupted and depraved priests are willing read this mass, and they can be sure that they will pay heavily for this on Judgement Day. No other priest or bishop, not even an archbishop, can absolve this crime; only the Pope of Rome has this right.

As is often with such rituals, there are certain obscure and sinister conditions under which it must be performed.The priest must, accompanied by a harlot (who is also his lover), travel to a ruined or deserted church, where bats hang from the ceiling, where gypsies spent the night and where toads live under the desecrated altar.

The evil priest will then begin to read the Black Mass backwards at exactly eleven o'clock, and he must be finished when the clock strikes midnight. The harlot will act as his precentor during this ritual. The host he blesses is black and triangular; he consecrates no wine, but instead he drinks water from a well in which the lifeless body of an unbaptized child has been thrown. He draws the sign of the cross, but on the ground and with his left foot. Besides these acts, there are many more; some of which the merest glimpse will make a good, faithful Christian go blind, mute and deaf for the rest of his life.

The person for whom this mass was read will gradually start to waste and nobody can tell what is wrong, not even doctors, and there is no cure for it.

Jensaarai Codes

The Official Jensaarai Code

I am the protector of justice.
I know no emotions,
I know the truth of the force.
I am the Protector of worlds.
I know the power of the true Force.
I am the defender of the true way.
The Universe knows not of my existence.
I pledge myself to the Jensaarai.
For I have found true life,
In the protection of the people I care.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Jensaarai code made by the first dark side Jensaarai.

There is no light

there is no dark

there is only the Jensaarai

There is no love

there is no hate

there is the truth
There is no contempt

there is honor
There are no limits,

there are the true believers

the Jensaarai

For further explorations of the Jensaarai tradition, I recommend The Order of the Jensaarai at:

Jedi Padawan Oath

“I promise to uphold the Jedi Code. I promise to respect all life and to help those weaker than myself. I vow to use the Force only for good; never in anger and only to defend those who cannot defend themselves. I promise to find new ways to improve myself so that I may be an example to others; to provide guidance to those that seek it, while not seeking to lead or rule them.”

This could also be considered simply a Jedi Oath.
