1. Offering of the Elements – Men:
After a signal of the leader the Ethermen enter first. They walk in the 4-steps rhythm and say loudly the Wazifa: 'Bis mil lah el-Ham dulel lah'. After each lah comes one beat rest (one foot put next to the other foot; the 'resting foot' starts after the rest). The first Etherman carries the Light of the Element Ether. The Ethermen go straightforward and afterwards next to one another turning right and left around the Divine Light via the Ether point to the Divine Light. There the first man puts down the Light of the Element Ether. When finished he crosses his arms before his chest. Then all Men of the Element Ether make a little bow in silence. After one Wazifa at his location the first Man goes backward to the Ether point, where the others have been standing behind him with arms crossed.
