This ritual was adapted by John Halstead from the classic ritual by the founder of feminist Witchcraft, Zsuzsanna Budapest. All it requires is a chalice or cup with water or oil.
Dip your forefinger into the chalice, and touch your forehead, saying: Bless me Mother, I am your son/daughter.
Dip your finger again and touch your eyes, saying: Bless my eyes to see the beauty of your body, which is the Earth.
Dip your finger again and touch your nose, saying: Bless my nose to inhale your breath, which is the wind, and to smell the fragrance of your sex, which is the essence of ripe fruit and green things.
Dip your finger and touch your ears, saying: Bless my ears to hear the music of your voice, which is the rustle of leaves in the wind, the fall of water over rocks, the song of birds and the roar of lions, the cry of little children and of lovers in passion.
Dip your finger and touch your mouth, saying: Bless my mouth to taste the savor of your tears, which is the rain, and to taste the milk of your breasts and the honey of your sex, which is life abundant.
Dip your finger and touch your hands, saying: Bless my hands to caress the curve of your body, which is all matter.
[For women:] Dip your finger and touch your breasts, saying: Bless my breasts to nourish life and joy, as you nourish me.
[For women:] Dip your finger and touch your abdomen, saying: Bless my womb to nurture life and joy, as you nurture me.
Dip your finger and touch your sacrum, saying: Bless my phallus/yoni to bring forth life and joy, as you have brought forth the universe.
Finally, dip your finger and touch your feet, saying: Bless my feet to walk on the holy ground which is the temple of your body.
