Great rite

The Great Rite is an ancient ritual that honors the relationship between the Goddess and the God, two powerful spiritual forces. It is often used in Wiccan ceremonies to bring attention to the balance of masculine and feminine energies in the universe. The ritual involves the symbolic union of the masculine and feminine forces, either with a ritual blade and a chalice or sometimes with the participants themselves. Typically, the ritual is accompanied with prayer, song, and meditation.
