Blessing of the spirits This part of the moot starts in silence. The master of the rite appoints 4 others usualy shamen to step forward and address the five directions (north, south, east, west and within) asking for their aid and in the moot the claller also calls up the pack spirits asking for their presence as well. These performers are usually refered to as the shining ones. For the duration of the moot they represent the spirit and must be treated with diference and repect.
