O Bakcheios, we pray, bull-horned God,
Lord of liberation, bringer of ecstasy,
wielder of the flowering branch,
whose dance-loving feet shake the Earth,
toppling walls and setting free the captives within;
be present as we consummate this union
where desire is celebrated in its myriad forms,
fearlessly and without shame, where fantasy
is manifest through our flesh, and every pleasure
opens wider the doors of our mind until we experience
rapture and love’s boundless grace.
May our coupling bring us closer together,
O blessed Blastēma, renewing our bonds,
and strengthening our union.
