My Grandmother and Grandfather Zym had a second generation of kids.
Cornelia and Wilhelmina.
Aunt Nelly and Aunt Babe.
Gram and Grandpa had no idea, however, that these two "little ones"
would secretly become Habi-Babi Priestesses.
You think I am imagining this!?
Just look as they begin preparations for their ritual.

Aunt Nelly holding a primitive doll and what appears to be a crude dagger,
while Aunt Babe is carefully clutching other ritual items.

Priestessly Preparations

The Priestesses have changed into their ritual vestments
and have begun their sacred dance.

Start of Ritual Dance

Note the extraordinary head-dresses they both wear.

This ritual has never been photographed,
nor was anyone allowed to photograph anything following this crouch
which was just prior to the elder Priestess executing
a spectacular leap into the center of the dance arena.

Exhausted from the strain of the dance,
the Priestesses fall to the ground with the knowledge
that they, and they alone, have once again saved their clan.

For those among you who are skeptical of the Priestessly Powers,
allow me to show you two pictures from
a second visit to the priestesses, about 1 year later.
The Elder had been teaching the Younger the powers of the mind,
and was so pleased by her progress, she invited the
photographer to attend a demonstration.
The first picture shows the Elder Priestess and her Acolyte
surrounded by their believers.
The Elder displays her satisfaction as the Acolyte is seen
in complete trance and concentration.

SUCCESS!
Well, of course, we expected no less.
Notice the smile of satisfaction on the Acolyte,
the "See? I told you so" look on the Elder Priestess, and...
the kitten which has materialized in her arms.

The believers laugh with delight.

Nope. I don't think my Grandma and Grandpa had any idea
that their little angels were High Priestess and Acolyte
in the strange and mystical cult of the Habi-Babi.
It is only now that the truth can be told.
