lustrical

There may be exactly three uses in GBooks. One is for the noun though:

• 2017, Robert Harris, Imperium (Book One), page 334:

  It was a matter of great pride to me, and a mark of my growing standing within the family, that I was invited to attend the lustrical, on the ninth day following the birth.

Two for the adjective:

• 1921, Wilhelm Max Wundt, Elements of folk psychology, page 407:

  Purgatorial lustration, after the pattern of terrestrial cult ceremonies, was believed to be effected by means of fire, this being regarded as the most lustrical agency, and as combining the function of punishment with that of purification.

...one of which doesn't come up properly in snippet mode:

• "one of the oldest known medicinal plants which was already used by the ancient Egyptians in offerings and lustrical ceremonies"
