Meaning
That the Great Rite is the time period utilized for that sexual act
carried out in the magical context. It's symbolic of of the actual fact
that sacred marriage of of the fact that god and goddess in various
Wiccan traditions. In the coven setting, the Nice Rite is performed by a
longtime couple, and members should by no means be pressured into
participating.
In a few cases the Nice Ritualis performed symbolically reasonably
than literally. Instead of actual sexual activity, an athame could also
be placed for a chalice, or other phallic objects might be united with
symbols of the sacred feminine.
A few covens do follow skyclad, which just isn't sexual in nature. No
respected Wiccan or Pagan group requires sexual exercise as part of
initiation or membership. No Pagan or Wiccan condones
non-consensual intercourse, intercourse with minors, or any sexual act
that involves coercion.
