As long as the used Damning Ceremony goes face down and out of play (such as going back to your hand from anywhere), then it's game state forgets its been used once already this game, and you may then use the ability again.
Conversely,simply going to the discard pile (out of play, but face up) will not reset the card's game state if it is then somehow reattached from the discard pile.
