Mod
Leader:
"I say these words before StarClan, that the [spirits of our Warrior ancestors / spirit of [previous Deputy's name]] may hear and approve of my choice. The new Deputy of [Clan name] is [Chosen Warrior's name]."
The new Deputy will acknowledge his Leaders decision and the Clan will call out the Deputy's name in a chant. They will usually meet their Clan mates who congratulate them.
Mod
Leader:
"I, [Leader's name], leader of [Clan name], call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this Apprentice. [He/She] has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend [him/her] to you as a Warrior in [his/her] turn."
Leader:
"[Apprentice's name], do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Apprentice:
"I do."
Leader:
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your Warrior name. [Apprentice's name], from this moment you will be known as [New Warrior name changing the 'paw' suffix to another of the Leader's choosing]. StarClan honors your [Virtues that describe the new Warrior], and we welcome you as a full warrior of [Clan name]." The leader then rests their muzzle on the new Warrior's head, and they lick the leader's shoulder in return. The rest of the Clan then greets the new warrior by calling their new Warrior name in a chant. They will usually greet their family, or go see their former mentor, who congratulates them.
The Warrior will sit a silent vigil guarding the camp that night. However, in some cases, this isn't possible, in cases such as being out of the camp. They may still sit a silent vigil outside or camp or may be told to do something else instead.
Mod
Leader:
"[Kit's name], you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as [new Apprentice name, ending with 'paw']. I ask StarClan to watch over you and guide you until you find in your paws the strength and courage of a warrior."
The Leader then signals for the chosen mentor to step forward.
Leader:
"[Chosen mentor name], you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from [former mentor's names], and you have shown yourself to be fierce and brave. You will be the mentor of [Apprentice's name], and I expect you to pass on all you know to [Apprentice's name]."
The mentor touches noses with the Apprentice, and the Clan greets the new Apprentice by calling out their name in a chant. The Apprentice will usually greet their family, or go see to their mentor, who congratulate them.
Mod
Medicine Cat Apprentice
Medicine Cat:
"Cats of [Clan Name], as you know, I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an Apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown [Virtues that describe the chosen cat]. Your next medicine cat will be [Chosen cat's name]."
Leader:
"[Chosen cat's name], do you accept the post of Apprentice to [Medicine Cat's name]?"
Apprentice:
"I do."
Medicine Cat:
"Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the [Moonstone/Moonpool] to be accepted by StarClan before the other Medicine Cats."
Leader:
"The good wishes of all [Clan Name] will go with you."
The mentor touches noses with the Apprentice, and the Clan greets the new Apprentice by calling out their name in a chant. The Apprentice will usually greet their family, or go see to their mentor, who congratulate them.
At the Moonstone/Moon Pool
Medicine Cat:
"[Medicine Apprentice's name], is it your wish to enter the mysteries of StarClan as a medicine cat?"
Apprentice:
"It is."
Medicine Cat:
"Then come forward."
Medicine Cat:
"Warriors of StarClan, I present you with this Apprentice. [He/She] has chosen the path of a Medicine Cat. Grant [him/her] your wisdom and insight so that [he/she] may understand your ways and heal [his/her] Clan in accordance with your will."
The Medicine Cat and the Apprentice then lay down and have a dream from StarClan.
Mod
Leader: "[New Elder's name], is it your wish to give up the name of a [Warrior or Medicine Cat] and go to join the elders?"
New Elder:
"It is."
Leader:
"Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given to us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest."
The Clan then call the Elder's name in a chant and give their thanks for their service.

The new Leader is greeted and then begin to give them their nine new lives. Each life has a gift and means something, such as a life for courage or love.
Each Life-Giver (repeated nine times):
The touch their nose to the top of the new leader's head
"With this life I give you [gift - such as - [courage]]. Use it well [how to use the gift - such as - [to protect your Clan]].
The new Leader will then have a strong feeling which may be a pain or a warmth depending on what the gift was.
Once all the nine lives have been given the previous Leader (If the last Leader is not dead, then the previous one before them) steps forward.
Previous Leader:
"I hail you by your new name, [New name removing the old Warrior suffix and changing it with 'star'] Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a Leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of [Clan name]. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the Warrior Code; live each life with pride and dignity."
The vision will then fade and the new Leader will make next to the moonstone or moonpool, and return to their Clan as a true Leader.
