Cult of life has many festivals throughout the year. Most festivals have
some form of ritual attached to them. Unfortunately, most are closed to
members of the public (some are even closed to Cult members who haven't
crossed the threshold of the Inner Temple.
Here is a very brief description of some of the
main Festivals in a typical year.
