	Some priests, especially in [[the Marches]] and among the [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] [[~~Yeomen~~ of Dawn\|~~yeomen~~]] embrace a more practical symbology when using a Blessing Wheel - especially a circular rather than cylindrical one.

When removing an unwanted aura, these priests are careful to spin the Blessing Wheel the "other way", pulling the unwanted spiritual essence away from the item and flinging it back out into the Labyrinth.

	Also known as a ''Spirit Spindle'', ''Spinning Wheel'' or ''Hallowing Wheel'', a Blessing Wheel is a tool used by priests, specifically during the [[hallow]] ceremony. It commonly takes the form of a ~~cynlindrical~~ wheel on a spindle, or a circular disc mounted on a rod. The device is marked with symbols of the Way - most commonly a straightforward Labyrinth or Wheel design traced across the entire wheel, over which are painted seven sigils which correspond to the seven Virtues at roughly equidistant points.
