I thought it sounded like they took the rituals pretty seriously, so I bet they did it each time the same. Like how the son should do those things for his father.

I guess that's part of it, too, why his father was so wrecked about the other one leaving the family. I mean, they vanished his name off the family tree! If you ask me, they're dead committed to rituals, the Blacks, and really old magics. Stuff you don't hear anyone else doing anymore.

I wonder what they do when somebody dies. Didn't they just have a funeral recently? I wonder if they did any really ancient stuff for that?
