- "The power of one, the power of two, the power of many!"
- ―The chant used by the Brendok coven during the ceremony
The Rite of Ascension, also named the Ascension ceremony, was a ritual practiced by witches on the planet Brendok.[1] The ritual was seen as noble and magnificent, combining the strength of all witches who participated.[3] Mae-ho Aniseya and Verosha Aniseya were performing the ceremony with Aniseya and her coven[1] in 148 BBY[2] before being interrupted by the Jedi Indara, Kelnacca, Sol, and Torbin. Before the interruption, Mae completed the ceremony and was left with a tattoo on her forehead.[1]
