Ritual: Last Train Out
Cost: 4 minor charges.
Ritual Action: Select a mode of public transport and use it and only it to get around for a month (walking is fine otherwise, to get to and from stations and stops, but nothing else). Keep and collect tickets and receipts from every trip you make. Bind them in a bundle with string made from the hair of bus drivers and train conductors and mark the topmost with an image of winged sandals in the blood of a ferret. Go to a bus stop or train station or equivalent after last service has run and stand at the stop or platform. Wait half an hour, if someone bothers you leave and try again some other night. If no one bothers you take out the ticket-bundle and toss it on the ground with the cry “Bathin, your debt is due you son of a bitch!”.
Effect: If the ritual is successful a bus or train or whatever is appropriate will pull up within 3 minutes. It will have no passengers, driver or conductor. Board as if nothing is wrong and take a seat, you can bring as many friends as tickets in the bundle. It will run as normal, except off hours and no one else will board. This is because they can’t see it. While aboard the last train out you are invisible to any outside scrutiny, including magickal scrying and divination. This invisibility lasts as long as the trip. For this reason it’s a favourite of cabals wanting to conduct meetings and deals free of outside interference or surveillance.
Don’t fall asleep on the last train out.
