I call to you our Lord, as your servant and High Priest.
To come to us with joy and wonder. You, who offer death and return,
We call to you with hearts that burn. For I am He who guards and
He who reveals all of these things. All who seek to know his secret mysteries.
Listen to the words of the Great Father, who was called Pan, Cernunnos,
Herne, Lugh and by man other names. 'Hear the thunder, there am I.
See the hawk and the raven soar, there am I. See the great wolf and the stag
appear in the forest clearing, there am I. Close your eyes at the end of your days,
and there am I, waiting by the temple stone.
I am the Lord of Earth and Sky, of rocky cliffs and forests deep and
darkened. I was there when the world was new, and I taught you to hunt and to
gather plants for food.
Look within yourselves, for I am there.
I am that strength upon which you draw in times of need.
I am that which conquers fear.
I am the hero and the fool.
I am your longing to be free, and your need to be bound.
I am the knowledge of life everlasting, and beyond death I give the promise
of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the Father of all things,
and my protection blankets the Earth.
My Law is the Harmony with all things.
In my love for you, I give up my life.
I die but rise up again.
I prepare the path upon which you journey, going always on before you.
For it is in becoming as you, that you may become as me.
Mine is the secrets that open the gates of life and mine is the dish of salt
of the earth that is the body of Cernunnos.
I do invoke thee Cerridwen to descend upon the body of this, thy servant and
Priest. We welcome you freely, our guest and our Master, you who teach us
not to be trapped with fear. Within this circle our hearts are open, be here
with us.
Horned One, be welcome!

(Guts of the ritual)
Great Rite:
HPS:
We have danced and we have sung in honor and glory for our Lord and Lady.
May we also make love in their praise. For it is the rite of the Goddess,
the ecstasy of the spirit, it is for Her. Her's is also the joy on the earth;
for Her Law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever
towards it, let naught stop you or turn you aside; for She is the secret
door which opens upon the land of youth, and She is the cup of wine that is the
wine of life. She is the cauldron of Cerridwen.
I am the Gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man.
Upon the Earth, I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal; and beyond
death, I give peace and freedom, and reunion with those who have gone before.
Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth ; for behold all acts of
love and pleasures are my rituals.
And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor
and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
I have been with you from the beginning; and I am that which is attained at
the end of desire.
HP:
I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, the Sun among the
clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and
come unto me. For I am the body of the Earth, and all its beings.
Through me all things must die and with me are reborn.
Let my worship be in the body that signs, for behold all acts of willing
sacrifice are my rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness,
joy and peace, awe and longing with you. For these too are part of the
mysteries found within yourself, within me, all beginnings have ending, and
all endings have new beginnings.
:: Start with kissing, then foreplay then oral pleasures, 69, then Make Love
in the Name of Cerridwen and Cernunnos, and sing out, scream and cry out
with our pleasures, give thanks to the God and Goddess :: (Ritual scourge
may be used)
Spell work:
Bless new magickal items, can cleanse and bless items at this time. Great
time to use a Moon Mirror for scrying.((At this time, I would do research
and see what the moon's alignment is and how that effects us. )) A strong
protection is offered when using the drawing down of the moon.
Often I would use this time for something serious. A few ideas:
Accomplishment
Development
Expansion
Attainment
Growth
Fulfillment
Achievement
Fruition
Flowering
Maturity
Prosperity
Realization
Progress
Presence
Confidence
Enlightenment
Success
Cakes and Ale:
HP takes the chalice and kneels before the HPS. HP takes the Athame and
slowly lowers it into the Chalice as the HPS says: As the Athame is to the
male
HP: so the Cup is to the female
BOTH: and thus conjoined, they bring blessedness.
(Make sure to touch each of the cakes with the now wet tip of the Athame
while saying)
HPS: O Queen most secret, bless this food unto our bodies bestowing health,
wealth, joy, strength peace and that fulfillment of Love that is perpetual
happiness.
