IN MY MOUTH BE THE ESSENCE
Hermetic Library Ministry of Information
“The PRIESTESS takes the Lance in her right hand. With her left hand she offers the Paten. The PRIEST kneels.
The PRIEST: In my mouth be the essence of the life of the Sun!
He takes the Host with the right hand, makes + with it on the Paten, and consumes it. Silence. The PRIESTESS takes, uncovers, and offers the Cup, as before.
The PRIEST: In my mouth be the essence of the joy of the earth!
He takes the Cup, makes + on the PRIESTESS, drains it and returns it. Silence. He rises, takes the Lance, and turns to the PEOPLE.
The PRIEST: There is no part of me that is not of the Gods.”
—Liber XV {Book 15} O. T. O.
