This is a ceremony we admit used a hindrance of times (with variations to
reassure the candidate) for the bonus gain initiation. You specter warning
that it borrows from diverse sources: Masonic, Gardnerian, Celtic, and
Dodge of Tact. Weve done it robed, sky clad, and some vibrant
combinations. Seems to work ok either way. If the candidate has done
the work, the initiation ceremony is luxury of a communal "rite of
repeat" or applause of that fact... the real "initiation" is
amongst the Gods and the candidate, and as a consequence cannot really be
"conferred".
A ceremony to recognise completion
of the 2nd gain
course of study
The Tinkle is cast as customary. All are justified timely and purified.
Rocky Priestess and Rocky Holy man perform the Show off in concert. The

"This is the time of Absolute Moon, a time for rekindling of light. The
have a go for excellent light is: That we may see it, and seeing it, work
and rouse by it. We are about to go aboard upon a crypt ceremony to
restart the light of Suggestion, the light of Fortitude, the light of
Sympathy, the light of Steadfastness; we specter bracket together these lights,
and restart the light of Promise in our Sister appearing in previous us.
"appearing in admit you been qualified the ways of the Levelheaded, that
you might toting up yourself among relations who relinquish the Gods, among the
brothers and sisters of the Wicca, relations who are called the shapers of
the formation."
PRIEST:
"I now path your problem to the two lights upon our altar, the one
in place of the Sun, the God, and the Rocky Priest; the other
in place of the Moon, the Divinity, and the Rocky Priestess. The Rocky
Holy man and Priestess, presiding aloof the coven, may be sense of as
`One light to manipulate the day, one light to manipulate the night. To the same degree these
lights are what's more beneficent, each having worship in its place, the Manufacture
of the Levelheaded does not set day versus night, God versus Divinity,
Holy man versus Priestess. In the Manufacture, we do not define evil as a
derogatory power, quite as the lack of light; where put forward is the light
of Sun or Moon, God or Divinity, put forward can be no lack of light. Choose
one, or both; place light within yourself, and upgrade it."
"In times in the same way as, the Tinkle of Foundation was called a `Hermetic
Tinkle, one time Hermes, the ancient name for the planet Mercury."
In astrology, the legislature of the Sun is in the zodiacal sign of the
lion, which is the fifth house; the legislature of the Moon is in Bane,
the crab, and is in the fourth house; and the day legislature of the planet
Mercury is in the Gemini, the Twins, and is the third legislature. These
statistics, three, four and five, were sacred to diverse ancient peoples, as
the dimensions of the Pythagorean Triangle, in which the consecutive of
five, twenty five, is steamroll to the sum of the squares of four and
three, or sixteen and nine. Suggestion of this triangle was essential
to builders; you are likewise a builder-you are detached house your yarn."
PRIESTESS:
"I now path your problem to the a range of lights around us, in
the East, South, West, and North. Let us now slice up these lights,
and see what we can judge within them of possible yarn."
"In the detached house of yarn, the Eastern light is denoted the Storm lantern
of Ornamental, and stands for accomplishments; for learning, proficiency in art,
vernacular, in declare and instrumental music, in fine art and statuette. It
exemplifies the art of making ones self appropriate to relations about
one. It is an old saying that `Beauty is as Ornamental does. It causes
fathomless care to see these member of the aristocracy graces of yarn prostituted to
discreditable ends. Honor well the lesson of the Storm lantern of Ornamental, and
hand out the blessing of the East."
Instigate is censed with incense from the censer which has been
formerly to be found in the East.
PRIEST:
"The light in the South is denoted the Storm lantern of Spirit, and stands for
idiosyncrasy, and for energy; for fervency, for zeal and dash.
It exemplifies passions, requests and appetites. It piece of equipment loves and
hates, sympathies and abhorrences, and what is luxury than all the rest
of these, it piece of equipment substratum and joy in the work of life. Honor well
the lesson of the Storm lantern of Spirit, and hand out the blessing of the South."
Instigate is circled three times with the brazier, formerly to be found in
the South.
PRIESTESS:
"Look now to the West, and write down the Storm lantern of Sympathy, which
stands for `fellow-feeling. Each and every one work in life force a price.
Tough grind, snuffle, moderation, self-recrimination, the very blood of life
is sometimes the price of a really fathomless work. Look to your guy
travellers on the road; warning with hope what loss they admit through
in their get to headed for the truth; allow them their faults,
express sympathy with them in their failures, and wallow with them taking into account
they happen. Honor well the lesson of the Storm lantern of Sympathy, and
hand out the blessing of the West."
Instigate is circled three times with water, and his/her hands washed
in a laving toss, formerly to be found in the West.
PRIEST:
"Look now to the North, and write down the kerosene lamp of submissiveness. The laws
of the Gods are inexorable, and the luxury we, as children of the Gods,
understand and work in agreement with them, the self-important is the sum of
our ecstasy. Restraint in yarn piece of equipment order, the incapacity to
ones ideas, the attention to do wrong, and the motivation to learn and do
truly. Assorted would quite commit charity than do decency. They swell
with ambiance, howl with point of view, moan with the mob, so hunger as their
own finicky diminutive tyranny or favoritism is not touched. The Storm lantern
of Restraint exemplifies building specter and dependability of yarn, in
unpleasantness of difficulties, dangers and dead. So likewise the Storm lantern of
Restraint stands for restrict, for fortitude, and for prudence.
In time of no noise, create for war; taking into account shines the sun, expect the
cloud; and in shiftiness storage patiently for the coming light. `When all
the sky is draped in black and beaten by outrageous gales, and the
trembling ship seems all awreck, calmly downscale in imitation of luxury the stale
sail, connect the exploited wheel, and set again for the old unbending
course. Honor well the lesson of the Storm lantern of Restraint, and
hand out now the blessing of the North."

he/she end.

her diverse aspects; and her Hang out, the Horned One, Peer of the realm of Slapdash and
Ruler of Chaos; to always be true to the Art and its secrets; to never
abuse the Art or my own powers; and to look after this doll always in my
substratum, in my object, in my personnel and in my spirit. This I doll, by the
Tinkle of Spirit, by Cerridwens Holy Cauldron, and by my own hopes of
a destiny life.

PRIESTESS:
"The Tinkle is a place amongst the worlds and go up time. The
Tinkle is likewise the Score of Spirit, Slapdash, and Restitution. We wear the
