Service Celebrating the Feast for the First Night of the Beast and His Bride
Service Celebrating the Feast for
the First Night of the Beast and His Bride
T Polyphilus, Ep. Gn.
This ceremony is intended for the purpose of celebrating the feast decreed in Liber Legis II:37. It is best held after sunset on August 12. The officers are designated as the MINISTER, BEAST and SEER, and since the ritual is not a proprietary sacrament of the Church, no clergy status is required in order to preside at it. The officers should wear simple white robes. The MINISTER adds a black cincture. The SEER adds a black mantle, with a silver crescent thereon. The BEAST adds a black mantle, with a gold sunblaze.
The full text of the ritual is available in my book Mysteries of the Great Beast Aleister Crowley: A Liturgical Cycle for Thelemites.
