Have everyone line up in the North. Have candles at each of the quarters of black for East and West and White for North and South. Each person should have a candle (which can be a tea light in an old glass jar). As each person enters while chanting:

"Air I am, Fire I am, Water, Earth, and Spirit I am."

Bless each person by inscribing a star on their forehead with Morgana oil (personal favorite for blessing), saying:

"May ______ be blessed and welcome"

The initiate stays outside the circle with the summoner watching over them. The circle is cast and then the invocation before the God & Goddess invocation but after the elements:

"Now is the time when one who has been called, is called to be called before the Lady and her consort. One who wishes access to the deeper, darker mysteries of the earth, one who seeks the wisdom within the dark womb of the Ceridwen, one who wishes to know, one who has searched and wishes a new torch to light their way, this one who will come before us now has asked and is received to be accepted among us as one who quests for knowledge and as one who always seeks the path of the Lady and her consort. Now, Northern Gate, I bid you in your darkest gown, open your way of knowledge for the one who seeks to pass through."

Now the 2 people (preferably a male and female) turn towards each other and create a bridge with their arms. The priestess opens the door and the priest greets the initiate who comes through first. Most covens leave the summoner outside the circle to deal with disturbances. The priestess closes the door and the two people return to the way they were. The initiate stands to the North of the altar in the center facing South. The priest and priestess face North standing on the South side of the altar. The priestess pick up the oil and says:

"By which name do you wish to be known?"

The initiate answers with their chosen craft name. The priestess then anoints the forehead of the initiate and says:

"Blessed be _______"

Now the priest picks up whatever gift the coven is making to the initiate. In the case of a neophyte, this is usually a singulum. A 1st Degree, it is often a very nice, very fancy Book of shadows, 2nd degree a silver cuff and 3rd degree a gold cuff. Others give 1st - amber, 2nd jet, 3rd amber and jet. The Priest says:

"May this serve you well in the craft"

Now Invoke God and Goddess. The Dieties will vary, depending upon of the tradition you work in. Next, bless the wine and cakes. In the case of a degree initiation, often the initiate is allowed to bless or participate in the blessing in some way. Now do whatever working you wish, and close.
