Portal-Closing Poems are the ritual method for closing the five portals to Abadón on Mount Analogue: the recitation of Latin verses combined with specific actions. The method is linked to Dantean cantos and Ptolemaic mathematics. Luca leads the sequence.
- Portal 1 (Ocean): the verses Regna terrae cantate deo… (“Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God”) and holy water.
- Portal 2 (Beach): a sin against an angel, and wings.
- Portal 3 (Labyrinth): seven trials.
- Portal 4 (Unicorn): the end of the labyrinth.
- Portal 5 (Central): destroying the force at the summit; the other four portals must already be closed.
The first attempt at closing fails.
