Sex Me Up

“Yech. That won’t work.”

Jaynee pondered her words, yawned and decided to sleep on it. How could she write a passable spell when she was so tired? Carrying the book with her to her bed, she gave a dejected sigh, knowing she would have to wait another month to recite it anyway. And she was never good with rhymes. It would take forever to come up with a good one. The moons would cycle this night, forcing her to wait yet another turn before the three would be in the correct alignment again. What was one more month? It was nothing if she could finally bring her mate to her. Nothing. Still, she worried, her thoughts troubled as she drifted off to sleep.

“Earth and water, fire and air, bring me together among a pair.” Jaynee woke just before the moons reached their zenith, tested the words she dreamt and made a face. It was a horrible rhyme. One she wasn’t sure she could recite with a straight face, even alone. Still, what could it hurt? If like the others it didn’t work, she merely had to wait another month anyway. To her way of thinking, this way she would be a month ahead. Besides, there must be

reason she awoke just moments before the three moons merged in the 3

sky.

She ran down the stairs and out into her backyard, grabbing a bottle of wine and her ritual chalice on the way out. Nervousness and anxiety ate at her. Lifting the open bottle to her mouth, she took a few healthy belts of the ceremonial wine before making her way to the center of her garden maze.

After pouring a more than generous amount in the cup and with no preparation, no lit tapers and as some would say no common sense, she raised her eyes and hands to the sky then recited her spell.

“Earth and water, fire and air, bring me together among a pair. Eyes of amber, eyes of green, bring to me what I have seen. Hair of walnut, hair of gold, embodied as in times of old.”

The wine started to take effect and her words began to slur.

“Pure of honor, heart and mind, bring me the love of all time. Kind and gentle, strong and wise, let’s not forget, large in size.”

Jaynee burped and giggled, laughing at her slurring words. Perhaps she shouldn’t have drank so much. She shrugged.
Now where was I? Oh yeah

“As surely as I drink of this cup, have my lover sex me up. Oh, Great Moon Goddess, I pray to thee, bring this love here to me. As I will it, so mote it be.”
