Brothers, Sisters, and Friends of Sekhet-Maat Lodge,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Hear me, Lord of the Stars!
For thee I have worshipped ever
With stains and sorrows and scars,
With joyful, joyful endeavour.
Hear me, O lily-white goat!
O crisp as a thicket of thorns,
With a collar of gold for Thy throat,
A scarlet bow for Thy horns!
If you will, let us come together for ritual and feasting in celebration of the entrance of our Lord and Father the Sun into Capricorn, sign of the earthy gods of the south. The ritual will start promptly at 7:30pm on the evening of the solstice. Doors will open at 7:00pm, and the ritual will be followed by a spread of hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar for wine and beer.
