Ring out those bells, indeed! At the HomoMoot,
at the start of any ritual, the High Priest ties under his testicles, a strap that has on it several silver bells, see the
photo below. These are a bit like the bells that are used by Morris Dancers, that are tied to their hands and feet. Once the
circle is cast, the High Priest starts at the North of the altar -skyclad, bows low to the North and as he does so, he exposes
to the altar his testicles (southward) and by gripping the shaft of the erect penis, the testicles are slightly swung, producing
the sacred ringing of the bells. This is continued around to the East, South and Western Gateways. The bells remain tied to
the testicles througout ritual, until the circle is finally un-cast.
You may ask why this is done. In ancient
Judea and Greece, the bollocks represented man's virility and a symbol of strength, respect and honour. It is also used
in the same way as the Sistrum were at the altars of the Goddess Bast at Her temple in Bubastis. Hence at the HomoMoot, the
bollocks are exposed to each corner of the altar, to bless it and the bells ring that blessing unto Cernunnos and our Lady
Aradia. The Gods and Goddess' love the smell of incense, it is their spiritual food; seeing as they cannot partake and
enjoy the taste of food on earth. In a similar way, the bells swung from the High Priest's bollocks, are to the Gods, both
a sexual and spiritual sound, that they hear and equally enjoy.
In the ritual room of the HomoMoot, you
will notice that on the four walls of North, East, South and West are the symbols of the erect penis and bollocks of man.
This is a sacred tradition that was very popular in the
Roman City of Pompei, where every door post of a house or place of business had the phallic symbol with the words carved
" Hic Habitat Felicitas"; which means "Here dwells happiness" ( see above image). It was an important talisman to also ward off the Evil Eye. In the HomoMoot,
one of the ways to ward off the Evil Eye and to protect the Third Eye Chakra, is for the High Priest's erect penis and
testicles to physically lie over a person's Third Eye chakra, esp' after the Chakra has been opened with Amethyst in the ritual
circle. This is a powerful way of protecting the Third Eye in a sexual and spiritual way. The erect penis in all of the HomoMoot
rituals is a blessing and a sign of the divine presence of Cernunnos among his men in ritual.
It is important for men to know that their
penis and testicles are a sign of great power, strength, honour and respect. The male penis erect, is in the world of men,
also the physical manifestation of the sacred masculine energy and power of Cernunnos; who flows through every man, filling
the penis with life blood, lust and joy. Of all that man received from the Gods, nothing is so more highly prized
than the gift of love and sex. The Gods serve man in sex, man in sex worships the Gods in return.
May those sacred bells ring out at every
altar that honours our Celtic God, Karnayna! Men,
lift up the Spear of Light, and shine it outwards upon His divine holy hill of vision. Let us behold the sacred vision and
from it, may we come to know the sacred mysteries, taught by our Celtic ancestors, here in this sacred land of Wales.
Blessings.
Julian Riley
High Priest
