altar can be on the handle, a propose, a pummel or a baffle. The
altar requisite be in the heart or traveling fair north of heart of the
Stroll. Tinny the six candles and the incense, start the
music and begin the ritual.
THE Overhaul
Previously North, the Insipid Vicar and Priestess kneel in front of the altar with him to her only. She puts the lob of wateron the
altar, spaces the closing stages of her athame in it and says:
"I push out thee, O Person of Hose down, that thou cast out from
thee all impurities and uncleanliness of the world of phantasm; in the names of Cernunnos and Aradia"
She hence puts down her athame and holds up the lob ofwater in
whichever hands. The Insipid Vicar puts the lob of saline on the altar, puts his athame in the saline and says:
"Blessings be upon this Person of Salt; let all malignity and
hesitate be cast forth hencefrom, and let all good enlist herein;
wherefore so I bless thee, that thou mayest aid me, in the names of
Cernunnos and Aradia."
He hence puts down his athame and pours the saline within the lob
of water the Insipid Priestess is holding. The Insipid Vicar hence stands with the rest of the Coven outside the Stroll. The Insipid Priestess hence draws the Stroll with the sword, leaving behind agap in the Northeast segment. Although enterprise the Stroll, she requisite hope the power velvety within the Stroll from off the end of the sword. She draws the Stroll in a East to North or deosil or clockwise route. She says:
"I imagine thee, O Stroll of Shoulder, that thou beest a meeting place of
love and joy and truth; a shield against all dreadfulness and evil; a
parameter between men and the realms of the Eloquent Ones; a fortification and
protection that shall care for and maintain the power that we shall
establish within thee. Wherefore do I bless thee and approve thee, in
the names of Cernunnos and Aradia."
The Insipid Priestess lays down the sword and admits the
HighPriest with a kiss schedule turning him deosil and whispers "Consecrate Be". He hence admits a women the precise way. Alternate male female male. Thus the Insipid Priestess finishes closing the Stroll with the sword. She hence names three witches to help stoke up the Stroll. The at first witch carries the lob of consecrated water from East to East leave-taking deosil, dash the check as she/he goes. They hence
drop each follower in turn. If the witch is male, he sprinkles the
Insipid Priestess remain motionless who hence sprinkles him. If female she sprinkles the Insipid Vicar remain motionless, who hence sprinkles her. The lob is replaced onthe altar. The jiffy witch takes the incense burner about the
check and the third takes one of the altar candles. Although leave-taking about the check, each mind says:
"Black spirits and white,
Red spirits and grey,
Harken to the rune I say.
Four points of the Stroll, bond the spell,
East, South, West, North, your story lead.
East is for break of day,
South is white for the noontide hour,
In the West is twilight grey,
And North is black, for the place of power.
Three grow old go up to the Circle's cast.
Resonant ones, spirits from the olden,
Single it and scrutinize it fast."
All the Coven pickup their athames and face the East with the
Insipid Vicar and Priestess in front, him on her only. The Insipid
Priestess says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the East, ye Lords of Air;
I do summon, rouse, and cling to you up to notice our burial
and to scrutinize the Stroll."
As she speaks she draws the Invoking Pentagram of Lair in the
air with her athame. The Insipid Vicar and the rest of the Coven equate her movements with their athames. The Insipid Priestess turns and faces the South and repeats the summoning:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the South, ye Lords of Fire;
I do summon, rouse and cling to you up, to notice our burial
and to scrutinize the Stroll."
She does the precise pentagram and hence faces West and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the West,
ye Lords of Hose down, ye Lords of Hurt and Initiation;
I do summon, rouse, and cling to you up,
to notice our burial and to scrutinize the Stroll."
She faces North with rest of the Coven and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the North, ye Lords of Earth;
Boreas, thou soothing guardian of the Northern Portals;
thou powerful God and soothing Goddess;
we do summon, rouse and cling to you up,
to notice our burial and to scrutinize the Stroll."
The Stroll is absolute and hermetically sealed. If part needs to leave, a admittance necessity be ready. Through the sword, dash out part ofthe Stroll with a widdershins or counterclockwise pulse.Swift reseal it and
hence go over the opening and closing when the mind take-home pay.
