The Great Rite Invocation.
Assist me to erect the ancient altar At which in days past all worshipped The great altar of all things For in times of old, woman was the altar Thus was the altar made and placed And the sacred place was the point within the center of the circle As we have of old been taught That the point within the center is the origin of all things Therefore should we adore it Therefore whom we adore we also invoke O circle of stars Whereof our Father is but the younger brother Marvel beyond imagination, soul of infinite space Before whom time is ashamed The mind bewildered, and the understanding dark Not unto thee may we attain unless thine image be love Therefore by seed and root, and stem and bud And leaf and flower and fruit, do we invoke thee O Queen of Space, O Jewel of Light Continuous One of the Heavens Let it be ever thus That man speak not of thee as One, but as None And let them not speak of thee at all Since thou art continuous For thou art the point within the Circle, which we adore The point of life without which we would not be And in this way truly are erected the holy pillars In beauty and in strength were they erected To the wonder and glory of all men Altar of mysteries manifold, the sacred circle’s secret point Thus do I sign thee as old, with kisses of my lips anoint Open for me the secret way, the pathway of intelligence Beyond the gates of night and day, beyond the bounds of time and sense Beyond the mysteries aright, the five true points of fellowship Here where the Lance and Grail unite And feet, and knees, and breast, and lip Stewart and Janet Farrar – 1984. The Witches Way.
