If you are easily offended by sexuality, or are not an adult under the law where you lve, do not read this. This ritual is only to be performed by consenting adults.

The chalice should be filled with wine. A veil of at least a yard square is needed and should preferably be of a Goddess color such as blue, green, silver, or white.

The Coven (except for the High Priestess and High Priest) should arrange themselves around the perimeter of the circle with man and woman alternating as far as possible. All should be facing the center.

The High Priestess and High Priest should stand facing each other in the center of the circle. She with her back to the altar and he with his back to the south.

The High Priest then kneels before the High Priestess and gives her the Five Fold Kiss. As he does so he says:

Blessed be thy feet, that have brought thee in these ways.
Blessed be thy knees, that shall kneel at the sacred altar.
Blessed be thy womb, without which we would not be.
Blessed be thy breasts, formed in beauty.
Blessed be thy lips, that shall utter the Sacred Names.

For the kiss on the lips they embrace length-to-length with their feet touching. When he reaches the womb she spreads her arms wide, and the same after the kiss on the lips.

The High Priestess then lays herself down, face upwards, with her arms and legs outstretched to form the pentagram.

The High Priest fetches the veil and spreads it over her body, covering her from breasts to knees. He then kneels facing her with his knees between her feet.

The High Priest delivers the invocation:

Assist me to erect the ancient altar, at
which in days past all worshipped;
The altar of all things.
For in old time, Woman was the altar.
Thus was the altar made and placed,
And the sacred place was the point
within the center of the Circle.
As we have of old been taught that the
point within the center is the origin of all things,
Therefore should we adore it;
Therefore whom we adore we also invoke.

O Circle of Stars,
Whereof our father is but the younger brother,
Marvel beyond imagination soul of infinite space,
Before whom time is ashamed,
The mind bewildered, and the understanding dark,
Not unto thee may we attain unless thine image be love.
Therefore by seed and stem, root and bud,
And leaf and flower and fruit do we invoke thee,

O Queen of Space, O Jewel of Light,
Continuous one of the heavens;
Let it be ever thus
That men speak not of thee as One, but as None;
And let them not speak of thee at all, since thou art continuous.
For thou art the point within the Circle, which we adore;
The point of life, without which we would not be.
And in this way truly are erected the holy twin pillars;
In beauty and strength were they erected
To the wonder and glory of all men."

The Maiden should then fetch her athame from the altar and ritually open a gateway in the Circle. The Coven file through and leave the room. The Maiden is the last one through and reseals the Circle.

The High Priest should then remove the veil from the High Priestess's body.

The High Priestess should then rise and kneel facing the High Priest. The High Priest continues the invocation:

Altar of mysteries manifold,
The sacred Circle's secret point
Thus do I sign thee as of old,
With kisses of my lips anoint.

The High Priest kisses the High Priestess on the lips, and continues:

Open for me the secret way,
The pathway of intelligence,
Beyond the gates of night and day,
Beyond the bounds of time and sense.
Behold the mystery aright
The five true points of fellowship
Here where Lance and Grail unite,
And feet, and knees, and breast, and lip.

The High Priest and High Priestess now have sexual intercourse. This is a private matter between
them and none of the Coven should question them about it. When they are done, one of them ritually opens the Circle and calls the rest of the Coven. When they are back in the Circle, it is again sealed.

The wine should now be consecrated.

A male witch kneels in front of the altar before a female witch. He holds up a chalice of wine and she holds her athame point down and lowers the athame into the wine. The man says:

As the athame is to the male, so the cup is to the female; and conjoined, they become one in truth.

The woman should lay down her athame on the altar and kiss the man (who should remain kneeling) and she should accept the chalice from him. She should sip the wine, kiss him again and as he sips, he should rise and give it to another woman with a kiss. The chalice should then be passed around the Coven, man to woman, with a kiss each time, until the entire Coven has sipped the wine. The chalice can be refilled and any one can drink from it without repeating the ritual once the chalice has gone around once.

To consecrate the cakes, the woman should pick up her athame, and the man should kneel before her, holding up the dish. The woman should draw the Invoking Pentacle of Earth in the air above the plate while the man says:

O Queen most secret, bless this food
Into our bodies; bestowing health, wealth,
Strength, joy and peace, and that
Fulfillment of love that is perfect happiness.

The woman should lay down her athame and pass the cakes to the man with a kiss. He should pass them back with a kiss and they are then passed around the Coven in the same way the wine was. Be sure to save some of the wine and some cake for an offering to the Earth and the Little Folk.

After the meeting, leave the offering outside of the house if working indoors, or behind in the woods or field, when you leave if you are working outdoors.
