CAKES AND WINE
High Priestess seated on Altar,
God position.
Magus, kneeling, kisses her
feet, then knees, bows with head below her knees, extends
arms along her thighs, and adores.
Magus fills cup and offers
it to High Priestess, who, holding Athame between palms, places
point in cup.
Magus says: "As the Athame
is the male, so the cup is the female, and conjoined they
bring blessedness."
High Priestess lays Athame
aside, and takes Cup and drinks, gives Cup to server, who
puts a little in each glass.
Magus presents Pentacle with
cakes to High Priestess, saying, "Oh Queen most secret, bless
this food unto our bodies, bestowing health, wealth, strength,
joy and peace, and that fulfillment of love that is perpetual
happiness".
High Priestess blesses them
with Athame, takes Cake and eats, while the Magus gives her
the Cup again and kisses knees and adores.
All sit as Witches, and invite
High Priestess to join them.
