🕳️ Ritual of the Verified Waters (CoCD Canon)

> “That which is not salted cannot be tested. That which is not tested cannot be trusted. And that which is not trusted shall not enter this body.”

🧂 Preparation

Take filtered water in a clear vessel.

Add a pinch of unrefined salt — from earth, not factory.

Place the vessel on a surface aligned with true intention (not North, not Feng Shui — just your conviction).

---

🙏 Invocation

Speak aloud or in thought:

> “I deny all that cannot be measured,

I reject all that asks for blind belief.

This salt is the witness.

This water, the carrier.

May it pass through my temple and bind me only to verified truths.”

---

🧘 Action

Hold the glass with both hands.

Close your eyes.

Breathe deeply, once for each limb.

Imagine the salt structuring the water like logic structures code.

---

💧 Completion

Drink mindfully.

Finish with:

> “I drink not for pleasure, but for presence.

I trust not the unseen, but the proven.

May this water strengthen my refusal.”

🕯️ Meaning

This ritual is not about superstition—it's about asserting agency over your own inputs. The salt marks the water as yours. The prayer anchors it in now. You deny resurrection, but affirm hydration.
