This Sabbat
celebrates the joining of the God and the Goddess. She is now in her Mother
aspect,
and it is from
Her womb that all life will spring. This is yet another fertility Sabbat.
The altar and
circle should
be decorated with flowers. Any white flowers are appropriate, especially
those with
five petals.
The cauldron may be filled with flowers. The altar cloth and candles shall
be white.
Flower garlands
may be worn by the participant. Set out your altar with your usual tools.
Include a
white ribbon
and a red ribbon. Light your incense and the altar candles, and cast the
circle. Invoke
the God and
the Goddess. Kneel before the altar, facing East. Place the ribbons on
the pentacle,
the end of
the white ribbon covering the end of the red one. Speak these words:
"Oh Father God,
oh Mother Goddess, now is the time of your joining. Through your
happiness,
may all be happy, and through your fruitfulness, may all in nature be fruitful."
Begin plaiting
the ribbons together. This is a simplified & solitary version of the
traditional maypole.
While you are
doing this, say:
"All life in
all the world springs from the union of the God and the Goddess. Blessed
are
they, the creators,
the Ancient ones!
Do with the
ribbons whatever you wish. Any Magick or other seasonal activities may
follow. If
you are outdoors
in a fairly safe place, you may wish to light a small balefire. After such
festivities
are completed,
hold the simple feast, & banish the circle.
