This is a sort of "baptism " or "saining" [i.e., what is now called a Wiccaning], inspired, of course, by Sleeping Beauty.
1. Parents bring child to center, the father holding 13 unlit candles, and one lit one.
2. HP aneles child with wine, perhaps gives it a coven name, and HPs charges it to the concern of the Craft.
3. Now 13 witches step forward, one by one. Each touches the child and makes a wish for it, then takes and lights a candle.
4. When all 13 are holding their lit candles in a circle around the parents and child, HP says, "Your candles represent your wishes. If they were merely to burn out, so would the wishes. Therefore, Lady, let all here be for the child a spiritual birthday cake. Blow out your candles!" All do, and HP says, "Now the wishes will come true."
Thus the child acquires 13 "fairy godparents."
