<Begin celebration>

Blessed mother of us all, I stand before this alter on this, the night of your full moon, when your energies drench the earth with the light of your pale loving eyes, to offer you my love, my allegiance and my blessings, and to reaffirm that I am your child. Tonight I will consecrate and consume the cake of your earth and the ale of your heavens, that I might carry your essence within me, that your love and will might be carried by me into the mundane world.

--Take cake--

Mother Luna, I thank you for the bounty of your earthly body which sustains me with food. From your womb flows all life and all manner of life's sustenance. Allow me to use this symbol to fill myself with your boundless presence. Be in and all of me always.

--Eat cake and pass to Charles, Charles then offers libations to the earth.--

Mother I thank you for the mysteries of your watery realm, which sustains my spirit and imagination, for this blood of your womb, which brought forth all life. By your blood all living things are blessed and made sacred. Allow me to use this symbol to fill myself with your boundless presence. Be in and all of me always.

--Drinks ale, passed to Charles, Charles offers libation to the earth--

Behold the triple goddess is one! Maiden, mother and crone. Earth and heaven are one! The womb and the blood. We are one with them. We are children of the goddess. In us may she always be manifest.
