[1] Must have a man and a woman, properly
prepared, i.e., naked.
[2] Mark a circle nine feet across on the
floor with chalk, etc. The best way is to get a string. Tie 2 loops four
foot, six inches apart. Put one loop over a nail or something in the
center. Put chalk in the other and run it round. If you can't make marks
on the floor, put furniture, etc., round to form it. Have a table, etc.,
as an Altar, with all tools, etc., on it. Have a bowl of water, and some
salt.
[3] Place Athame on the bowl of water. Say,
"I exorcise thee, O creature of Water, that thou cast out from Thee all
the impurities and uncleannesses of the Spirits of the World of Phantasm
in the name of Aradia and Cernunnos. But ever mind that Water purifies the
body, but the scourge purifies the soul."
[4] Then place Athame on the salt. Say,
"Blessings be upon this creature of Salt. Let all malignity and hindrance
be cast forth hencefrom, and let all good enter herein. Wherefore I bless
thee that thou mayest aid me, in the name of Aradia and Cernunnos.
[5] Then trace Circle on the lines you have
marked out, starting at the East and returning to the East. (Always go
round the circle with your Right hand to the Altar. Never go Widdershins.)
Then put the Salt into the water. and go round the circle again,
sprinkling it to purify it. Then go round again censing it. (Everyone in
the circle must be sprinkled and censed.)
[6] Then go to the East, Sword or Athame in
hand. Draw an invoking pentacle in the Air, starting at the top and going
to the lefthand corner, saying, "I summon, and call thee up, O Ye Mighty
ones of the East, to guard the Circle and witness our rites." Then holding
the point of sword or Athame upwards, do the same to the south, west, and
north, and return to the center, to the south of the Altar
.
[7] Then each girl should bind her man, hands
behind back and cable Tow to neck. He should kneel at altar, and be
scourged. When all men are thus "purified," they purify the girls in turn.
No one may be in the circle without being thus purified.
[8] Then do whatever work wanted.
[9] When closing the Circle, the High
Priestess, or whoever she tells to do it, saying, "Hail, ye mighty ones of
the East. I thank you for attending, and ere ye depart for your lovely
realms, We say, Hail and
Farewell."
