Moondance 2006 Ritual

No Double-Dipping Castanza (Erisian Ritual)

(HP & HPS walk into circle backwards, after everyone is already in place.)

(HP faces each direction and claps 5 times each time.)

THEN

HP (Standing in the center to do the Erisian Cross):
(Touch head:) "Light in my head"
(Touch crouch:) "Fire in my genitals"
(Touch right shoulder:) "Strength at my right side"
(Touch left shoulder:) "Laughter at my left side"
(Touch heart:) "Love in my heart"

East:
"Blessed Apostle Hung Mung, great Sage of Cathay, balance the Hodge and Podge and grant us equilibrium."

South:
"Blessed Apostle Van Van Mojo, Doctor of Hoodoo and Vexes, give us the Voodoo Power and confuse our enemies."

West:
"Blessed Apostle Sri Syadasti3, patron of psychedelia, teach us the relative truth and blow our minds."

North:
"Blessed Apostle Zarathud, hard-nosed hermit, grant us the Erisian doubt, and the constancy of Chaos."

HP (looking up or down):
"Blessed Apostle Malaclypse, Elder Saint of Discordia, grant us illumination and protect us from stupidity."

HP (looking all over the place):
"Great Goddess Discordia, Holy Mother Eris, Joy of the Universe, Laughter of Space, grant us life, light, love and liberty and make the bloody magick work!"

HP & N,S,E,W:
"Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!"

HP:
"In the beginning four forces joined in perfect absolution.
The end will be the same.
Alpha is omega.
The four are one and the one is the world.
All comes from the unity of the four.
All exists because they are separate.
Chaos abounds us today."

KNOW that Chaos can be creative as well as destructive, yet also KNOW that within Chaos is the humor that is necessary to defeat the destructive order which runs rampant in the world today.
Let us come together and honor Chaos."

(The 4 directions then come in and form a small circle, then squat down. HP stands at the Altar with the mallet facing the Apple. Chanting of Chaos begins.)

Everyone chants:
"Chaos...chaos...chaos..."

(Once HP is happy with the energy raised or when ever he/she just wants to, raise hammer over head. At this point, squatting Quarters yell:)
"BLAST OFF!"

(and jump up, as HP smashes the apple.)

HP:
"Applesauce for EVERYONE!"

(Quarters pass applesauce around, then come to the center and gather the sacred RC Cola (or beverage of choice) and start at each corner clockwise to let each person drink.)

HP reads RC Cola Sharing:
"Sharer of my RC Cola
Know that your way is better than their way
Cause their way is not my way
Know that to go backwards is not to go forwards
But is the only way to go sideways
ALL HAIL ERIS! ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!"

Quarters repeat:
"ALL HAIL ERIS! ALL HAIL DISCORDIA!"
