The great rite is ritualistic sexual intercourse. It can be performed either symbolically, or in reality.

In the symbolic great rite, the High Priest will plunge the athame (a symbol of the male) into a wine filled cup or chalice (the female symbol) which is held by the high Priestess. And in the actual great rite, the participants engage in sexual intercourse as an act of joining the male and the female.

The rite symbolizes creation through the union of the maiden Goddess with the Lover God, and is a fertility ritual usually performed around May the first, or any time it is needed by the coven.
