Now, these are the ceremonies for all things except for medicine cats. I'll post them in another board.
1. When starting a Clan meeting, "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather together for a clan meeting!" or "All cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath -nameofmeetingstone/rock- for a meeting of our Clan."
2. When making a kit to an apprentice, call, "We gather together to name a new apprentice. From this day forward, until s/he has earned his/er Warrior name, this apprentice will be called __paw. -thenameofthewarriooryouforthementor- (if you are the mentor you don't have to put the things in the ()'s:you will mentor __paw. I hope you will pass on all you know to this young apprentice!)"
3. When making an apprentice to a Warrior call, "I -yourname- leader of -yourClan- call upon my Warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. S/he has trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code and I commend him/er to you as a warrior in his/er turn. -apprentice'sname- do you promise to uphold the Warrior code and to protect and defend this clan at the cost of your life? -lettheapprenticeanswer'I do'-
Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your Warrior name. From this moment on you will be known as -nameyouortheapprenticehaschosen- StarClan honors your -qualities- and we welcome you as a full Warrior of -Clan'sname-"
4. To change the name of a Warrior, use this call, "Spirits of StarClan you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name of the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what s/he is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on, -Thecat'snamewhoisbeingchanged- will be known as -thecat'snewname- -whyyoudesirveit-."
5. When choosing a new deputy use this call, "I -yourname- say these words before StarClan, that the spirits of our ancestors (and -thedeputythathasdied'sname-) may hear and approve my choice. -thenewdeputy'sname- will be the new deputy of -clanname-."
