Blooding
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

This article is about the Rite of the Blood Angels; for the Short Story, see The Blooding (Short Story). |
The mysterious tradition and ritual of the 2nd Company of the Blood Angels Space Marine Chapter, the Blooding is both a rite of initiation and the perpetual procedure. During this rite, brothers of Blood Angels allows the Red Thirst to fully take them and vent their savage fury upon enemies of Imperium. Then they master their own fury, subside it and take up full control over themselves. It is from this ritual that the 2nd Company get their name - The Blooded - and, though it looks barbaric, due to the fulfillment of this rite the 2nd Company shows slower rates of succumbing to the appalling Black Rage.[1]
