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