Cakes and Wine
Magus kneels, fills Cup, offers to Witch [she
is seated on the altar, holding her athame; Priest kneels before her,
holding up the cup].
Witch, holding Athame between palms, places
point in cup.
Magus: "As the Athame is the Male, so the Cup
is the female; so, conjoined, they bring blessedness."
Witch lays aside Athame, takes Cup in both
hands, drinks and gives drink. Magus Holds Paten to Witch, who blesses
with Athame, then eats and gives to Eat. It is said that in olden days ale
or mead was often used instead of wine. It is said that spirits or
anything can be used so long as it has life. |
