A Satanic communion rite.

 

MATERIALS:

• Apple slices, enough for the whole congregation. Other fruit may be used as well. Suggestions: pomegranate, grapes, apricot, peach, pear.
• Patten or platter to hold the sacraments

PARTICIPANTS:

• “The Serpent”
• “Eve”
• “Adam”
• Congregation

RITUAL

Congregants sit in a semi-circle, as usual.

“Eve” and “Adam” stand side by side in the center, their heads down and eyes closed.

The “Serpent” enters stage left.

SERPENT

Yea, hath God said, “ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

Eve raises her head slightly, but her eyes stay closed.

EVE:

We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, “ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”

SERPENT

Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil. Wilt thou be like God?

EVE:

I will.

The Serpent feeds the fruit to Eve. She opens her eyes.

SERPENT:

Thou art God!

Eve takes the patten from the Serpent.

EVE:

Adam, my beloved, wilt thou be like God?

Adam raises his head, but does not open his eyes.

ADAM:

For the love of thee, Eve, I shall be as God.

Eve feeds Adam the fruit. Adam opens his eyes.

EVE:

Thou art God.

Adam takes the patten from Eve and hands it to the first congregant, saying “Thou art God.”

Each congregant eats a piece of fruit, and passes it to the next congregant, saying to them, “Thou art God.”

When all have taken communion of the Fruit of Knowledge, the Serpent speaks again.

SERPENT

These gifts I give to you, beloved children of mine: knowledge, liberty, sensuality, conscience, and love for one another. Go forth upon the Earth in power and wisdom. Verily I say unto each and every one of you: thou art God!

ALL:

Thou art God!
