"What is this in the Ritual of Chud?"
"Who are the two beings shown during the explanation of the Ritual of Chud in the movie It Chapter Two?"
"It's a metaphor, but it's physically impossible for you and your enemy to bite each other's tongues at the same time. I think it's about riddles. It's mentioned at the end of "It.""
«...In the Ritual of Chud the opposing force must close the tongues and make Him laugh...»
«...I understand that it is difficult to show this metaphorically, and for the most part the Ritual of Chud is a delusional rite...»
"A question about the Ritual of Chud -
In the Ritual of Chud, the opposing force is supposed to lock tongues and make It laugh, but I've never seen or read that happen in the book? As far as I understand, It laughed as it grew stronger in its ability to destroy Bill with the deadlights, when Richie intervened with his Irish accent and made It stop laughing just as It was about to finish Bill... It became frightened and focused on Richie... However, I never saw a single moment where It laughed or agreed because of this contract?"
"...In the book, the children discover the truth through an ancient Native American ritual called "Chud": in a cramped dugout, they inhale the smoke of smoldering herbs and enter a kind of trance. Bill loses consciousness and finds himself between worlds, where he meets the turtle Maturin, who created our world. She explains to the hero that Pennywise came here from another universe many millions of years before the origin of life on Earth, and that he can only be defeated by the power of the mind..."
What does this ancient secret actually represent? A rite of passage, a ritual "Chud"?
Thanks...
"The Chud ritual, as the professor told me, was practiced by one of the sects of Tibetan and Nepalese Buddhism. (True.)
This was done in order to achieve a state of complete non-existence and through it to reach ultimate spiritual enlightenment. (True.)
The ritual was also believed to aid in combating various kinds of demons: both creatures of the mind and supernatural beings attacking from without. (This is unclear.)
Just what you need now, Jamie. For defense on all fronts."
"Stephen King
Oh, you'll definitely like it. It's like in that fairy tale book I gave you. Everything is uncut. According to the legends, you and the demon have to get close and hold each other, grabbing the other's tongue with your teeth.
He even said this last phrase with some relish, and I thought: Why would you suddenly decide that I would like this?!
Once the union is cemented, a battle of wills begins. Whoever has the stronger will wins. The battle takes place telepathically, as I understand it, because it would be quite difficult for the opponents to speak aloud with... er... mutually bitten tongues. The first to surrender loses all power over the victor."
He said. “The tongue-biting ritual of the Chud is just one of the rites performed before meeting an enemy. There are countless such rites. The Maori perform a war dance to intimidate the enemy. Kamikaze pilots drank sake, which they considered magical, before taking off, holding photographs of their targets before their eyes. In ancient Egypt, members of warring clans slapped each other on the forehead before grabbing spears, knives, and bows. Sumo wrestlers clap each other on the shoulders. The meaning of these actions is always the same: We are about to engage in a battle in which one of us will win and the other will lose. In other words, Jamie, don’t stick out your tongue. Just grab your demon and hold on with all your might.”
