Don't like it, You don't have to read it. *Winks* I found a quote or in My book more of a Poem recently in the Gorean books. After all my many years in Gor I have never heard of this online. Yet for those of You who have never heard of it I wanted to share it with You because It is so...word here..touching perhaps? Anyway here goes:: In those days it had been a portion of the Rites of Submission, as practiced in Tharna, to strip and bind the captive with yellow cords and place her on a scarlet rug, the yellow of the cord being symbolic of talenders, a flower often associated with feminine love and beauty, the scarlet of the rug being symbolic of blood, and perhaps of passion. He who had captured the girl would place his sword to her breast and utter the ritual phrases of enslavement. They were the last words she would hear as a free woman. "Weep, Free Maiden. Remember your pride and weep. Remember your laughter and weep. Remember you were my enemy and weep. Now you are my helpless captive. Remember you stood against me. Now you lie at my feet. I have bound you with yellow cords. I have placed you on the scarlet rug. Thus by the laws of Tharna do I claim you. Remember you were free. Know now you are my slave. Weep, Slave Girl." At this point the captor would untie the girl’s ankles and complete the rite. When she rose from the rug to follow him, she was, in his eyes and hers, a slave. Outlaw of Gor, pages 204-205 So guess We don't hear of this perhaps because It seems it was only done in Tharna. Anyone have any thoughts on this? ~Geela~ |
