I don't know. The Alexandrian version of the Five Fold Kiss is published by Janet and Stuart Farrar in their opening ritual in Eight Sabbats for Witches (and the volume that combines that with another title 'A Witches' Bible Compleat.') At a particular point in the opening ritual, the Priest kneels before the Priestess and kisses her foot. "Blessed by thy feet, that have brought thee in these ways." He kisses her knees. "Blessed be thy knees that shall kneel at the sacred altar." He kisses her womb and says "Blessed be thy womb, without which we would not be." He kisses her breasts and says "Blessed be thy breasts, formed in beauty." He kisses her lips while standing toe to toe with her and with his body touching her full length along hers and says "Blessed be thy lips that shall utter the Sacred Names." In those rites and times when she gives him the Five-Fold Kiss, she changes only two things: She kisses above his pubic hair and says "Blessed be thy phallus without which we would not be." She kisses his breasts and says "Blessed be thy breasts, formed in strength." >Hope I'm making sense... >Arkady Perfect sense, Arkady. @}->- :) Tinne ;) Laughter Heals :D -<-{@ --------------75AB13127FF6--
