[WtA]
This rite binds a totem to a group of Garou. It is most often performed
during the formation of a pack. During this rite, all Garou who wish to
bind their destinies to a particular totem spirit must coat their eyes
with an infusion of saliva and mugwort (or another substance holy to
Gaia) and step sideways into the Umbra. In the spirit Realms, the
ritemaster leads the Garou in a hunt for the spiritual spoor left by a
totem spirit. Such evidence varies with the spirit, but is always found
by Garou worthy of the totem's attention. Even tracking down the spirit
does not guarantee success, for the totem must decide whether the Garou
are worthy to become its fosterlings. An undecided totem may require a
quest of the supplicants, though this is almost never required if the pack
has just successfully completed a Rite of Passage.

System: Characters must purchase the Totem Background to benefit from this 
rite. Otherwise, the rite is simply not performed.
