A Feast of Nuit
From Ecclesia Gnostica Universalis
Let the priestess and priest be equipped with the following: one cup, two candles, fragrant oil, bottle of wine, round loaf of bread, meat, and other foods at will.
After banishing, let the priest fill and raise the cup, saying:
O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One, but as None; and let them not speak of thee at all, since thou art continuous!
After annointing the candles with oil, let the priestess light them, saying:
None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two.
Taking the bread, let the priestess divide it, saying:
For I am divided for love's sake, for the chance of union.
Let both say, feeding each other pieces of pain, each taking a sip of wine:
This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all.
Let them set aside a portion of meat as an offering to Ra-Hoor-Khuit, and sprinkling it with wine say:
Trample down the Heathen; be upon them, o warrior, I will give you of their flesh to eat!
Let them both say:
This shall regenerate the world, the little world my sister, my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss.
A kiss, then a feast, following which the Book of the Law may be read. The meat offering should be set outside in a clean, secluded place.
