>Where was the ritual even performed. USA?
Yes.
Yesterday some of the more mundane elites sold their souls to a Goetian demon "as leverage" to grab the new sun and take it from the sky. They're panicking after failing to do that earlier using the last of their psychic glowies (they still haven't realized that the sun created by Astra is an "immortal object" like the moon and cannot be destroyed, ever). He used them as "leverage" alright.

It's important to know what you're actually writing in your contract. Demons have this funny habit of not understanding things by your intent. They all got sucked into the sun, because as it appears a bunch of souls don't make a good tool to grab suns with.

>I can't even figure out when did they lost "their way". It was either 100 years ago or 300. 500 years ago they had their shit together
It must have been way before that. After fucking up the great destruction ritual, which could have made them into immortals with the power to control the forces of disintegration (Taiji,太極 is the same concept), they all freaked out when hit by the consequencing misfiring energy. It was such a strong current it caused a disturbance in the world egregore for a few hours. Imagine being in the lodge that did this and having that blunt force trying to penetrate your brain. They won't be functioning humans again. Keep a look out for people suddenly "losing it" among the rich elite and you'll know who was taking part.

Then... the ritual was started in lodges all over the western world, and they all stopped halfway, throwing their own members into the worst possible dimension of complete and total retribution. If you do that to someone you know, you'll feel what they feel. Death does not separate the person from the experience. They'll be in living hell until they die and then they'll be dead in the same hell. It's not even hell, it's lower.

Then, they did ritual number 2, going by the book, the ritual of great birth/creation. But they used only one group standing in a line, and they had people kill themselves again. That ritual is not a suicide ritual, it's a sex ritual. There are supposed to be women present.

And they only did this in one location. Probably their grand master is someone who graduated by age and not skill. At lower levels they'd take part in the ritual at their own lodge, timed with other lodges doing it at the same time and using a compass to form a large circle, while not knowing that this is what is taking place. Only the ritual master would know that this is a geographically distributed ritual. So they saw only what was done at their own location and then repeated that part.
