As I've stated many times , I am not a Wiccan. That does not stop me from looking into and trying to further understand the religion. When I first entered the world of witchcraft and the occult, I encountered Wicca. I did a little bit of studying to see if it was something for me, later realizing that it definitely wasn't. While I have nothing against the |
religion, it just isn't for me. I have since decided that I'm agnostic, with a flair of pantheism and animism.
So getting to the point. I have recently been hearing a lot about the Great Rite. I had heard of it before, but I didn't know what it was. My first round of research didn't help. I was still lost to what it was. I knew it was a ritualized sexual act (this can be symbolically or physically done), but I knew nothing about said ritual. Information on it seemed to be shrouded in mystery.
After a little more study, I came to realize that it is a ritualized sexual act meant to symbolize the marriage of the divine masculine (God), and divine feminine (Goddess). There are some specific defined ritual practices that go along with it, but they are hard to find.
This site seemed to have the best information on the Wiccan Great Rite. <Click those words if you're interested in reading up about the Great Rite.
Anyhow, I just thought I would share what I was reading about recently.
