about

This is the First Ceremony of the Temple of Poison and Garce.

The Temple of Poison and Grace is a Dark Ambient / Experimental side-project by the Post-Artrock band Luminous at Core.

The inspiration for this project is the Gensen Cult, a secretive cult that existed in Hokkaido (Japan) from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century and that is supposed to have created at least one offshoot (called the Temple of Poison and Grace) in Scotland.

Intructions about the Ceremony can be found in the description of the video on YouTube.
