In it are detailed the methods by which the Sisterhood manipulated religion in order to exploit primitive cultures. In general, this collection contains the prophecies and litanies embedded within young cultures in order to assure protection foe Bene Gesserits doing field work among them. The primary myths used involved the worship of a female deity, the veneration of pregnant women and of the prophetic wisdom of old women, and the salvation inherent in the prophesied male savior figure, legends necessary to protect the breeding lines and the espionage work of the order. In all the mythic pattern implantations, a formative social group was exposed to "infectious superstition" grounded in their primitive fears of the unknown and in their misunderstanding of the natural world. The spreading of the pattern is best explained by the Theory of the Open-ended Proof: If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, ttae or false, you believe the assumptions in die words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced. The Panoplia Prophetlcus, therefore, is actually a collection of all the myths ever seeded by the Sisterhood and an index of patterns suitable to specific environments, both natural and social. Until recently, the entire Panoplia Propheticus was thought to be available on the general reference shelves of the Bene Gesserit Library, but work done under the direction of historian Ahna Judehic, University of Giedi Prime, indicates that the complete collection is actually held in the Bene Gesserit Archives and fills three complete rooms. The portion of the Panoplia Propheticus available to the general public at the Bene Gesserit Library is composed of three parts: the "Shari-a," which contains the rituals which were seeded; the "Shari-b," which links the rituals, superstitions, and myths to their specific B.G. purposes; and the "Canto et Respondu," a collection of invocation rites, benedictions, and litanies, which takes its name from its first item. All Bene Gesserit novices were required to master the patterned catch phrases which would identify the superstitions and rituals embedded in a given culture, therefore allowing them to immediately acclimate themselves to that culture. They also had to learn the Canto et Respondu for each patterning. Examples of catch phrases which identify superstition patterns are as follows: "Que sera, sera," "The thing must take its course," "You can't keep a good man down," "The coming ol a Reverend Mother to free you," "Behind every great man is a good woman," "Time will tell," "If you want to know, ask a popcorn mavin," and "You had to have been there." In essence, the Panoplia Propheticus presents a science of religion employed by the Bene Gesserit through their "missionary" branch. One puzzling piece of information was recently discovered about the collection.
