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.
