Summary
Mark wonders if it’s finally happened. If he’s found what he’s searched for so many years. A spiritual awakening. Mark is ushered to a tub filled with water and herbs.
Necklaces are held out in front of him, and it takes a moment to realize he’s supposed to pick. He chooses one. The man holding the necklace mumbles, “Eshu. Trickster.”
Mark is told to kneel, his head then submerged in water. Baptized. When Mark comes up gasping for air, herbs are being rubbed into his skin. He knows from within he is a new person.
