DARK CIRCLE — NUIT'S VEIL COVEN


The Quest

The Priest stands and walks slowly marking the points of a pentagram upon the floor of the Circle with the Priestess in the centre. In this way he uses his body as a living-wand to invoke the Goddess with the divine symbol of the night-sky. The Priest then kneels to ask the Priestess-Goddess to share the Mystery.

Priest. What is the hour?
Priestesss. It is the hour of the Moon.
P. What is this place?
Ps. It is the Temple of the Goddess.
P. Where is the Grail?
Ps. Here beneath this veil.
P. Who is the Keeper of the Grail?
Ps. I am the Keeper of the Grail. Assist me to build the altar, at which in ancient times all worshiped.

 

The Enchantment

This is the visionary dream of the Priest sung as an invocation of love to the Goddess as his soul mate. In a clear, gentle voice his sings the invocation to Nuit-Isis in expression of his thoughts.

Priest:

Isis, Isis, Isis,
Shall not mine incantations
bring on down and around me moon-beam spirits,
in the spiralling incense of lunar perfumes,
glistening in the air, in the air, in the air.
Silence! the Moon ceaseth in Her motion;
breath in the air, breath in the air, breath in the air.
By the Moon and by myself
it is the hour of Initiation! Initiation, Initiation.
Deep and desirable hair and eyes and lips,
deeper into Her eyes my soul is sinking;
Who will shall attain, Who will shall attain, Who will shall attain, the kiss of Isis?. . Isis. . Isis. . .
