Branding
To be "Branded" means to be scarred with the symbol of a Deity.
Branding is entirely optional, but they are the ultimate way to honor a Deity. A member of the Brethren may have no Brandings or one for every Deity, depending on their preferences. The location of the Branding is entirely up to the member. Each Deity has a unique symbol.
Brandings are common among higher ranks and those who are more devout than others, but anyone may request them.
In the Branding ceremony, the Grim is the only one who may carve the symbol. A Priest, Sibyl, or Chief Witch may be present to act as a "voice" of the Deity being honored, but it is not required. Typically, the newly Branded canine will commune with the same Deity promptly afterwards, but this too is optional.
