“One of the rituals, the “incathedration,” required the Pope to sit⟳ down on it three times, probably in memory of the three main chairs connected with Peter’s name⟳: Antioch, Alexandria, and Rome”

“Orpheus rivaled Hermes as a prolific writer. Among his writings was one dealing particularly with various mystic rites. One was called The Enthronings of the Great Mother, which seems to refer⟳ to a rite known as Incathedration. During this ceremony the adepts enthroned the candidate and circled round him/ her in a ceremonial dance⟳ symbolic of the influence⟳ of the oversoul toward the spiritual progression of the neophyte.”
