Padmasambhava hypnotizes Victoria into summoning Yeti

The model Yeti figures serve as both a symbolic and functional catalyst for the summoning ritual. Padmasambhava uses them to focus Victoria’s hypnotized mind, linking the physical models to their life-sized counterparts in the courtyard. The models are placed deliberately by Padmasambhava, acting as a bridge between the metaphysical and physical realms, enabling the Yeti’s materialization. Their role is critical in the ritual, as they represent the Intelligence’s ability to manifest its will through inanimate objects and living conduits like Victoria.

Before: The model Yeti are stationary objects on a table in the inner sanctum, inert and awaiting activation by Padmasambhava’s ritual.

After: The model Yeti are placed in the monastery courtyard, where they serve as triggers for the materialization of four life-sized Yeti. The models themselves remain in the courtyard, now empty of their ritual purpose but symbolizing the Intelligence’s lingering influence.
