From this blessing comes the familiar expression among Witches, “Blessed be.” This is often used as a greeting or as a farewell. The blessing can be accompanied with a huge and kiss, and/or anointing with oil. This is the Fivefold Blessing:
Blessed be thy feet, that bring thee on this path. Blessed be thy knees, that kneel to the Lord and Lady. Blessed be thy womb, without which we would not be. Blessed be thy breasts, formed in beauty and in strength. Blessed be thy lips, that speak (utter) the sacred names. [1]
The Sevenfold Blessing begins by asking for a blessing from the Goddess, and adds a blessing for the eyes to see her path and for the nose to breathe in her essence. It drops the blessing for hte knees, and changes the womb to the loins. Depending on the tradition, the blessings move from feet to lips or lips to feet.
Blessed be my feet, that take me on my path. Blessed be my knees, that support me before the Divine. Blessed be my abdomen, that gives me inner strength. Blessed be my breast, that holds my heart true to them. Blessed be my lips, that speak the secret names. Blessed be my eyes, that see the beauty of their love. Blessed be my mind, that seeks their knowledge and wisdom. [1]
