The Scarlet Letter
Volume II, Number 4 | May 1995
Liber 1369
by Fr. Χεφρα
General Remarks:
Here is a ritual similar to Will which could be used as
a preface to what would usually be a non-magical sexual encounter.
Having tried to make this ritual as universal as possible, it seems
that either part could be read by either partner. The original design
had a male reading part A and a female reading part B;
so this might make the most sense in those situations. The stage directions
are sparse, keeping with the idea that this ritual should have the same
convenience & performance time as Will.
Obviously, a little creativity could go a long way for the industrious,
but simplicity has the charm of being quick.
Both participants should be nude, standing or kneeling (not sitting),
facing each other but not touching except where noted.
