A Liturgy In Celebration Of The Transcendence And Immanence Of The Will For One Or Many Celebrants.
0. Let the celebrants assemble, And let one who is to sing, Be chosen to serve 1. Open as you will, but mind, Every world begins and ends, In darkness and in silence 2. Let the one who will sing, Light the flames, And burn the incense 3. Let the space be made one, Between the worlds, In all the worlds 4. Call the stars that burn bright, And want to join, In the Work 5. Let the one who will sing, Tell all who will listen, Why they have come 6. Let the one who sings, Bare their souls, Let them tell the truth 7. Let them say: “I have eaten my heart, And become my shadow I have let go of unneeded things, And fixed my will upon the needful I have become a nobody, A beginning unknown And the whirlwind is living, In the dot of my eye” 8. Let the one who sings, Stalk deosil among those, Who would join in 9. Let those who would, Join the dance, With the singer 10. Let the celebrants, Look within their hearts, As they stalk their own futures 11. Share your triumphs, Let virtue be celebrated, As beauty among you 12. Share your errors, Let repair be done, With self and others 13. Come to know each other, In true fellowship and love, Free of burdens 14. See the light, See the darkness, See the colors 15. See and hear each other, For who you are, Who you could be 16. Finally, share a meal, And let the singer, Celebrate each celebrant 17. Let each be held up, Let each be witnessed, Let each sing their own song 18. Honor what has been done here, And who and what we are, Light made flesh 19. Say goodbye to all stars, Mighty Ones and spirits, Ancestors and elements Say that you are thankful, Say that you love them, Say what you mean 20. Open what has been closed, Loosen what has been bound, Let what was fixed become flux 21. Return to the world, Reminded of who you are, Free and beautiful
