This Sabbat celebrates the tipping point of awakening of this creative energy in the Earth and ourselves. Traditionally this creative sexual energy is celebrated by some form of enactment of the Great Rite, which is a coupling of the archetypal energies of the god and goddess – or of masculine and feminine energy. We are talking about energy here, not gender, or even sex for that matter. This type of Magick occurs when any being or beings bring their power together for the sake of creation of any kind, including pleasure. So yes, that includes all types and forms of sex. It can also include a garden, a business, a community, art – anything. We already contain both energies within us – and we need them – they are the alchemical ingredients required to create the friction necessary for creation, and we all express it differently. This is where the power of authenticity comes in. When we tap into what we feel called to create and follow that flow to find others who resonate, the power of authenticity can move mountains. It can change the world. The world needs that right now.
