Um, what does Lemuria mean?

Lemuria was a feast of the ancient Romans to exorcise ghosts of the dead from their homes on May 11th. They gave offerings of beans.

"Ovid notes that at this festival it was the custom to appease or expel the evil spirits by walking barefoot and throwing black beans over the shoulder at night. It was the head of the household who was responsible for getting up at midnight and walking around the house with bare feet throwing out black beans and repeating the incantation, "With these beans I redeem me and mine" nine times. The household would then clash bronze pots while repeating, "Ghosts of my fathers and ancestors, be gone!" nine times."

This activity will not be expected of you at the tournament. But you will be given black beans.
