Cakes and Ale

"Now is the time for me to give thanks to the gods for that which sustains me. May I ever be aware of all that I owe to the Gods."

Take the Chalice in your left hand and your Athame in your right. Slowly lower the point of the Athame into the Chalice and say:

"In like fashion may male join with female, for the happiness of both. Let the fruits of union promote life. Let all be fruitful and let wealth be spread throughout all lands."

Place the Athame on the Altar and drink from the Chalice. Replace it on the Altar. Touch the cake with the point of the Athame and say:

"This food is the Blessing of the Gods to my body. I partake of it freely. Let me remember always to see to it that aught that I have I share with those who have nothing."

Eat the cake and pause to say:

"As I enjoy these gifts of the Gods, let me remember that without the Gods I would have nothing. So Mote It Be!
