Kupala's sacred fire-flower

The demon Kupala created a legendary blood-red bloom known as the sacred fire-flower of Kupala. With it, sorcerers may bind or loose demons. Rumor has it that this flower was a key ingredient in the first rituals that made possible to the Tzimisce Koldun to break the Blood Bond with their elders, thus giving birth to the ritual known as Vaulderie, practised by the Sabbat to this night.

During the Dark Ages, Transylvania is home to a cult dedicated to this abhorrent spirit, that gift the demon with sacrifices, slaying babes for their pure and innocent blood, which the demon consumed. Thus fortified, Kupala’s corruption spreads even further, trailing lunacy in its wake. The quaking of the earth, the foul  rains  and  lightnings  that  destroy  crops  and  homes,  great  windstorms  that  tear  the fields and forests asunder, all these speak with the demon’s voice
