The master of the ceremony began by invoking the Taoist fathers. This was followed by prayers, meditation, and sexual gestures, after which the participants undressed. They then joined in a series of symbolic erotic dances. Soon, finding themselves on the floor, each man caressed his partner in a downward direction, three times, from the left breast to the leg, intoning the divinity of the left side. Each repeated the same on the right side, with the appropriate intonation. He then caressed her from the throat to her sex and touched her three times.
