The countess enters a circular chamber, , in the centre of which stands a large bowl set on a pedistal. She locks the door with the key only she possesses, then approached the elevated vessel. She cuts her finger with her knife and lets a few drops of blood fall into the pool of water. She mutters words of enchantment, finishing:
'...Deus ditis, sanguis vitaque mei daris. Filii mei ostendito!'

---
The countess crossed the chamber
in the bowells of Nazmart,
where in secrecy she practiced
her outlawed and occult art.
A scrying bowl she had there
held on silver serpents' wings
her own blood she dropped in offering
that she might see unknown things.
'Deus ditis, sanguis
vitaque me daris;
Filii mihi ostenditio!'
This enchantment she did hiss.
