bal-frue RELIGION AND BELIEF — A religious rite. Bal-frue is the Edönic practice of singing from one generation into the next their history and heritage. It is a sacred rite that typically takes place in wild areas of the forest, shore, or other natural locations and is sometimes performed with one or more → Edön bearing witness. It is considered the → Edöné’s most sacred act. It is the transference of the potency of Edön mother to her daughter (or in rarer cases, her son) and is a literal activation of that power (though the mantle does not manifest until puberty).
