The Vox Silvarum Ritual, as recorded in the Codex Bestiae Lunae, is a rite that grant the practitioner the power to understand and speak the tongue of animals. It is not without peril. A mind unsteady may be overwhelmed by the chorus of the forest, losing themselves in the endless voices of the wild. [Intro - Spoken] “Vox… silvarum… aperi… aperi!” [Verse - Spoken, rhythmic] Hear the howl, hear the claw, Fur and feather, tooth and jaw. Call the serpent, call the stag, Tongues of beasts, awake, don’t lag! [Chorus - Spoken, chanted, commanding] Vox silvarum! Vox audite! Bestiae venite! Bestiae loquite! Lupus, corvus, leo, serpens, Loqui possunt, nunc et semper!” [Verse - Spoken, rhythmic] Eyes in shadow, wings in night, Fang and claw, roar and bite. Whisper wind, chatter stream, Speak the tongue of every dream. [Bridge - spoken, chanting] Vox… ululatus… squamae… pinnae… Audite nos! Venite nos! Ferox… bestia… animam voca! (howls) [Chorus - Spoken, chanted, commanding] Vox silvarum! Vox audite! Bestiae venite! Bestiae loquite! Lupus, corvus, leo, serpens, Loqui possunt, nunc et semper! (animal growls, howls, animal sound, non-human sounds) nunc et semper! (animal growls, howls, animal sound, non-human sounds) nunc et semper! (animal growls, howls, animal sound, non-human sounds) nunc et semper! [Outro] Vox… silvarum… bestiae… loquuntur… (animal growls, howls, animal sound, non-human sounds)
