After he had rebuilt his House, Tengir sat inside and gave himself over to tumultuous ruminations. He reflected that perhaps there had been some reprehensible impropriety or inconstancy with him that had set the creatures of the Earth against him. He resolved to repeat the sacrifices he had done earlier with a mind to appease the Spirits of the Earth and to shake himself of their wrath and terror. Thus resolved, he went outdoors at once and, about fifty feet away from the House-Field, constructed a permanent altar of stone and put up a little roof above it. It became known as the Altar of Earth.
That very night, he fell to his knees before the Altar and prayed to the Spirit of the Forest to tell him what the proper procedures were for making ritual out of the worship of the Spirits of the Earth, and he fell fast into a deep sleep. In his dream the Spirit of the Forest appeared to him and said to him: "The procedure of the worship of the Spirits of the Earth is as follows: twice a month, on the nights of the full moon and the new moon, make an animal sacrifice at this Altar. For the rest of the days, merely dust the Altar and be sure no filth has sullied it, then clasp your hands together and invoke the Spirits, to beseech them to grant you their godly protection." Saying thus, the Spirit disappeared, and Tengir awoke.
The full moon was high in the sky and it radiated like a glowing chariot-wheel. Tengir went out and captured a wild boar in his net and brought it back to the Altar of Earth. Tengir conducted the sacrifice there and invoked the names of the Spirits of the Earth, as well as the Spirits that guard the four directions.
