Silk Ceremony<\/p>\n

The status of a kajira\u2019s silks can refer to several thing on Gor. Most commonly such words are used to designate a girl virginity. White silk can mean a girl is a virgin, and red silk the loss of virginity and accessibility as the girl\u2019s owner wishes. <\/p>\n

Even a non-virgin, new to the owner\u2019s chain, might be temporarily designated as white silk though with the simple attachment of a white silk ribbon to the girl’s collar, until her owner decides on what function the girl will perform.<\/p>\n

For the Tribe, the passage from white to red silk is of special importance and it indicates a potential for change in both physical, as well as emotional matters.<\/p>\n

John Norman speaks of blood auctions conducted by the Free in which a girl surrenders her virginity. <\/p>\n

In the jungles we have no such written basis, not even for the ownership of slaves as it is the custom amongst the Wa Ngao to own kajirae as a tribe..<\/p>\n

So, we take literary license and create our own equivalent for these kajira.<\/p>\n

Let us begin . . .<\/p>\n

En calls the girl to her and speaks<\/p>\n

En\u2019 Ties a white silk ribbon to the girl\u2019s collar indicating the stage of Glana<\/p>\n

“You are a pretty slave, Evelyn,” I said.
\n“Thank you Mistress,” she said.
\n“Are you white silk?” I asked.
\n“I am virgin,” she said.
\n“Then you are white silk,” I said. —-Explorers of Gor, 13:172<\/p>\n

En places a flower of the dina in the girl\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n

The dina is a small short-stemmed flower indigenous to hillsides; sometimes called the ‘slave flower’ it is often used as a design for slave brands; sometimes used as a slave name.\u00a0 —-Slave Girl of Gor, 11:61<\/p>\n

The girl wades into the river and the flower is cast upon the river representing the passage of her innocence.<\/p>\n

Girl emerges and En\u2019 removes the white silk ribbon from the girl\u2019s collar <\/p>\n

En hands the girl a small jar. Each jar contains a fine reddish power from a secret place in the Mountains of the Three Moons known only to the En\u2019.<\/p>\n

The girl again wades into the river and empties the reddish powder upon the river representing acknowledgment of her new status and relationship to the Tribe.<\/p>\n

Girl re-emerges and a red silk ribbon is tied to the girl\u2019s collar indicating she has entered the stage of “Falarina”<\/p>\n

Girl re-emerges and a red silk ribbon is tied to the girl\u2019s collar indicating she has entered the stage of Falarina.<\/p>\n

Then I felt her, and I could not have stopped her, had I wished to do so. I was chained as she removed the white-silk ribbon from my collar. In a moment she had fastened something else there, in its place, Doubtless another ribbon, doubtless the red-silk ribbon which had been given to her earlier by Mirus. She jerked it down on the collar, snugly.—Dancers of Gor, 11:209<\/p>\n

En\u2019 presents the girls and directs they continue to be safeguarded and (restricted) to use by the Tribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
