The
Great Rite The
Great Rite is probably the most well known or heard about pagan rituals,
and often the most misunderstood! It is a most sacred rite of sexual intercourse
(sex) that pays homage to the polarity of male/female; god/goddess, priest/priestess.
This polarity exists in all things in and around the universe. The Great
Rite therefore expresses the physical, mental, spiritual and astral union
between a man and woman as representations of the God and Goddess.
In most covens
it is often performed with the athame
(sometimes a wand) and
the chalice, though lovers who
are also working partners, may sometimes make love in private ritual.
To many the Great Rite is the Hieros Gamos, The Sacred Marriage or
the Holy Matrimony, which is the union of the God Head (spirit). It's the
top of the spiritual trinity, whose base is the God
and Goddess. This concept is nothing new and dates back to neolithic
periods. Ancient kings required Hieros Gamos, which was a union with
a priestess representing the Goddess, in order to rule.
