The Ascension ceremony, also referred to as the Rite of Ascension, was a ritualistic practice carried out by witches residing on the planet of Brendok. This ritual was considered a grand and honorable event, uniting the power of every witch involved. In 148 BBY, Mae-ho Aniseya and Verosha Aniseya were in the process of conducting the ceremony alongside Aniseya and her coven, when they were disturbed by the Jedi knights Indara, Kelnacca, Sol, and Torbin. Prior to this disruption, Mae successfully finished the ceremony, resulting in a tattoo appearing on her forehead.
