Asperges me Domine hyssopo, & mundabor: lauabis me, & super niuem dealbabor.
This text from Psalm 50.9 is used in the Mass as well as virtually every grimoire.
The Benediction of perfumes.
Note The celebrant begins by blowing the asperges bubble, and the psalm which is meanwhile being sung, and the versicles following it, establish a rapport between him and the congregation.
There are other smaller details such for instance as Shanti-abhisheka (Asperges) into which I need not enter here.
The Earth-Mother is worshipped at every ritual. Deities, ancestors, and nature spirits of the Three Worlds-Land, Sea, and Sky-are invoked. The Waters of Life, passed or asperged (sprinkled) in rites, represent the spark of the immanent deity.
