Wine Blessing
|
|
|
|
Follows: working part of Esbat Circle (any worship Circle)
|
|
|
|
|
|
HPS stands in God position before altar. HP fills a Chalice with red wine
|
|
and offers it up to her from his knees.
|
|
|
|
HPS takes Athame between her palms and holds it above the Chalice.
|
|
|
|
HP: "As the athame is to the male,
|
|
HPS: so the cup is to the female; (plunges Athame into Chalice)
|
|
Both: and conjoined they bring blessedness."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Laying athame aside, HPS accepts cup of HP (kiss), sips and returns it to him
|
|
(kiss) who also sips and arises to pass it to a woman (kiss) to sip
|
|
and hence from woman to man (kiss) and man to woman (kiss) about the Circle.
|
|
If more work is to be done, the cup makes the round but once
|
|
and is returned to the altar, else it is replaced in the center of the Circle.
