NAMING CEREMONY Contributed by Stray Dog
RA: Prostrate yourself before your fellow hashers. (Hasher kneels or lies prostrate on the ground in accordance with local custom, with assistance from mismanagement as necessary) RA: Before you are initiated into the fold and bestowed the holy Hash Name, what have you to say for yourself. Hasher: I’m not worthy. RA: (reads verses)
- In the beginning was the Hash, and the Hash was with Beer and the Hash was Beer.
- The same was in the beginning with Gispert.
- The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Hash, that all men through him might believe.
- And when he was baptized, went straight up and received the Down- Down.
- And lo a voice from heaven, saying, this is my beloved hasher in whom I am well pleased.
- Not by the works of righteousness we have done, but according to the mercy of the Pack are you saved, by washing of regeneration, and renewing of the holy Thirst.
- Therefore if any person be in the Hash, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new.
- Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed as a competitor, but alive as a member of the Pack, to boldly go forth on the trail and pursue the Holy Hash Beer. (RA grasps the bag of hash and sprinkles it on the Hasher) RA: I baptize you in the name of Gispert and all other great hashers who came before you. (RA sprinkles beer on the Hasher) RA: Your friends have gotten together and chosen your name and you will hereafter be known as ____________. (As local tradition dictates, the rest of the pack may be issued flour and beer to further ‘baptize’ the hasher) RA: Rise and cleanse thy soul. (The hasher is handed a beer and does a down-down in accordance with the traditions of the hash)
