We all do remember the scene when the Loser's Club is facing off against the sinister Clown
Clown Pennywise.
Seemingly defeated in the End, Pennywise retreats back into his lair.
Little did they know, that the monster was not defewated.
If you have red the It Novel or you maybe you have seen one of my videos, you might
have learned that here is only one real way, to defeat Pennywise.
The Ritual of Chud.
In this Video we talk about the Ritual and it's possible origins.
Maturin the Turtle is taking about The Ritual the first time, when Bill meets him in the
Macroverse.
And it is almost impossible to fully transcode what the Turtle is actually talking about.
But we know, that without this import piece of Information, there would have been no way
to defeat the evil creature.
Stephen King told us in an interview, that he is a very big admirer of the Lord of The
Rings saga. the fight between the Loser's Club and the IT creature pays homage to the
battle with Shelob.
When asked about the Ritual of Chud directly, Stephen King stated,that he found the inspiration
for all of this in a Tibeton Spiritual Practice of Butism.I am sure that this came as a suprise
to most of us.
But indeed, the word Chud was created from the similar word Choed, meaning to sever.
This spiritual practise is found mostly in Nyingma and Kagyu Schools of Tibetan beliefs.
There it is classes as an Anuutrarrayoga Tantra) It is also translated into cutting through
the ego.
The practises are also based on the Perfection of Wisdom sutras, which underlines the Butist
pilosophy of emptiness.Some of the monks state, that emptiness is the ultimate wisdom of understanding
that all things lack inherent existence.
Therefore Ch�d is a combination of these specific philosophies mixed with additional
meditation methods and other tantric rituals.
The next part I quote directly: The person who practices chod, seeks to tap the power
of fear through activities such as rituals, that are held in graveyards, and visualisations
of offering their bodies in a tantric feast in order to put their understanding of emptiness
to the ultimate test.
Knowing all of this, we can now assume that Maturin was talking of an act of trust, courage
and Purity.
The Turtle prepares Bill for a psychic battle in which the two forces duel with their wits.
We don't really go in any detail in Stephen King;s Mini Series, but since the young kids
believe in each other, and that the silver ear rings, which symbolize their hope and
friendship, is inheriting supernatural abilities.
Since their will is so strong, the item itself transforms into a weapon of light and destruction
of all evil.
Beverly wields the power of childhood and is able, with the so called Chief Weapon,
and injures the evil clown with a shot right to the skull.
They might have been able to Kill Pennywise right there, when they first were facing off
against him.
But unfortunately he escaped back into hybernation.
Here i want to quote another reference, which tells us how this passage is described in
the book: Bill's finds itself in a void, able to interact
directly with It, as he is thrust through the universe, all the way to where the deadlights
live, outside of space and time, and there he will be driven insane.
However, Bill is able to fight back by doing exactly what It mentioned earlier: using his
imagination against It.
Bill professes he believes in Santa Claus, superstitions, and the love of his parents.
The two battle it out.
Bill becomes stronger and stronger, saying that "He thrusts his fists" line over and
over, wounding It.
For just as a victim's fear provides nourishment, a victim's courage and confidence provides
pain.
With It wounded and seemingly dying, Bill is released from the void as the Spider retreats.
The children are unsure if they have killed It or not (though they all seem to implicitly
understand that they have at least sent It into hibernation and ended the current cycle),
but at that moment the web begins to collapse, and so our heroes exit to make their way back
I hope this gives as a small idea, of what exactly goes down, if a Ritual of Chud should
be necessary, against an evil entity such as the It creature.
Although we will never know for certain what kind of detail lies behind the full ceremony.
