Seasonal rites vary from tribe to tribe and place to place. Each tribe and
sept has its own means of celebrating the turning of the seasons. Some septs
celebrate only the major rites of the solstices and equinoxes; others
perform a rite at least once per moon. The rites below are performed by all
Garou tribes. They are the fundamental rites celebrating Gaia's constant
cycle of life-in-death-in-life.

These rites renew the Garou's connection to Gaia as the Earth Mother. Some
Garou even believe that were such rites to cease entirely, dire repercussions
would result. A few of the more mystic (or perhaps just crazier) Garou
insist that if such rites weren't performed, Gaia herself might find no
point in continuing the cycle, and the world would enter a perpetual
Fimbulwinter...or worse.

System: Seasonal Rites must, obviously, occur at the exact time of the 
year the particular rite celebrates, and at least five Garou must attend.
When performing the rite, the ritemaster must make a Stamina + Rituals
roll (difficulty 8). If performed at a caern, the difficulty of the roll
is 8 minus the caern's level. Thus, a seasonal rite performed at a Level
Three caern has a difficulty of 5 (8 - 3).
