The Great Rite -- The Great Rite is probably the most well known or heard about pagan ritual, and is often the most misunderstood. It is a most sacred rite of sexual intercourse 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 many covens it is often only representationally performed with the
athame (sometimes a wand) and the
chalice, though lovers who are also working partners, may sometimes make love in private ritual.
The Great Rite is also known as
Hieros Gamos, The Sacred Marriage.
