Death Dealer
View the rules, which offerings to prepare, additional information and the submission process.
Rules
1 — Offerings must be submitted by the deadline. Anything received after the deadline will not be counted. The deadline will be clearly posted on the Announcements page.
2 — When submitting your offerings, send only one email with your items listed and photographed, along with your name, number and current address. If you don’t have all items at the time of submission, it will not count. Your first email is the only submission that will count.
3 — Offerings do not work retroactively. Submissions made in the past do not count towards current or future tours.
4 — Once your submission is accepted, your patches will be mailed out to you after the tour concludes.
Offerings
Those who bring offerings to the band whilst on tour, in the strict fashion explained hereunder, will be granted the mark of Death Dealer. There are five distinct types of items, all meant to be used on stage, therefore it is crucial to follow these instructions to the last detail.
1 — Candles
There should be five in number, 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 centimeters) tall, be either thoroughly black or red (not painted) and have symbols carved and painted; black candles with red symbols or red candles with black symbols.
The symbols need to look just like this:
2 — Bones, Heads & Skulls
If fresh, with meat still on them, they should only be the heads of black goats or white lambs. If only in bone, they should be from predatory carnivores, of which the following are the most preferred: Wolf, eagle, coyote, bear, cougar and boar.
NOTE: Since these objects will be added to the adorning of the stage itself, they should carry no insignia or markings.
3 — Blood
Fresh pork or ox blood that should come frozen in the equivalent of one liter bottles or smaller, carrying a note on them with the following information:
SOURCE - Which Animal It Comes From
OBTAINED - Location, Date
FROM - Name, Disciple Number
Make sure the blood is thick and red and not just the watery remains of the slaughterhouse, which has often been the case.
4 — Intoxicants
Alcohol is always welcome, but credit will only be given for offerings to be used in rituals: Bourbon whiskey or fine red wine.
5 — Gift For Headquarters
Something for the Watain headquarters in Uppsala. Preferably things easy to transport back, such as textile banners, plaques or a smaller framed graphic with a greeting from individual Disciples. Be creative!
Additional Information
Other Gifts
Personal gifts are not a part of the Death Dealer program, but are of course welcome as well. Just bear in mind the transportation back to Sweden.
ATM Patch
Disciples who wish to repeat the Death Dealer process will be able to earn the ALM patch. At the moment, we can only offer this once per person.
