Appeasing Beshaba

Appeasing Beshaba was a ceremony performed when one wished to gain Beshaba's favor and avoid bad luck.

Activities
In order to appease Beshaba, the supplicant held a valuable item of theirs over an open flame until it was at least partially destroyed. The supplicant would repeat Beshaba's name over and over as the offering burned. A prayer praising the Maid of Misfortune was then said while the supplicant was on their knees.

Beshaba was believed to pay more attention and grant her appeasement to supplicants who burned their fingers during the ceremony.
