(AKICHI NO MISOGI) A phrase spoken by the members of
SEELE in episode 26' when the
Geofront reverts into the Egg of
Lilith - the "
Black Moon".
"Misogi" is a religious
ceremony in which the body is purified by bathing in
water -- and thus by extension refers to any means used to
purify or
sanctify a certain object. While there are theories that the etymology of "
Adam", the
progenitor of the
human race, is "
red" or "
earth", its connection with "
Red Earth" is unclear.
