Solomonari

The Free Tribes hold the Solomonari Celebration after the setting of the sun. The decorations and banners of the Solomonari are all blacks and blues.  Adherents grow Black, blue, and purple flowers in containers. They grow these flowers for the explicit purpose of displaying them. They display the flowers after the setting of the sun marks the beginning of Solomonari

The tribes use Solomonari as a holiday to teach First Aid and Hygiene Practices. They teach this through ritual cleansing. All children above the age of ten practice the cleansing as daily ablutions. The ablutions serve ritual and cultural purposes on their own. They also mimic and thus teach basic first aid and hygiene in the repetition of the ablutions. The Ablutions involve changing into a simple robe. The adherent then drops their clothing in to boiling water. The clothing will remain there for the entirety of the ablutions. The adherent pours warm water over their head and they scrub themselves with soap, and a cloth or brush. Once scrubbed, they douse themselves in water a second time. They dry themselves. And then they apply ceremonial bandages. The placement of the bandages requires that the adherent know basic splinting and bandages techniques. If old enough, another tribes member gives the adherent a shot glass of high proof clear alcohol.  The adherent gargles and spits the alcohol  on the ground. They remove their clothing from the boiling water by stick, and they dress. 

The Solomonari further exists to retell the Stories of the Witches, and Wizards and the Tenebrati. The tribal societies all use the Solomonari to select apprentices and mentors.  They make the selections in public, save for the selection to the Tenebrati. The Tenebrati show the applicants for the Tenebrati to the tribe. But the Tenebrati perform the selection process in secret. And the Tenebrati forbids applicant from either confirming or denying if they were accepted or rejected.
