Closing the Circle
Anon
When the Circle's work is done, R goes to the East, athame in hand, salutes, and draws a banishing Earth pentagram, saying:
R:
Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the East, ye Lords of Air, we thank you for attending our rites; and ere ye depart to your beauteous realms, we bid thee Hail and Farewell...
All:
Hail and Farewell! (R extinguishes Quarter Candle)
Repeat for the remaining Quarters, addressing each with the titles by which it was invoked.
R thanks and says goodbye to the God and Goddess. (Words To Be Decided.) and extinguishes altar candles.
R then thanks and dismisses any spirits who have gathered.
R:
The Circle is open but unbroken. Merry meet, merry part and merry meet again.
R extinguishes the Presence Lamp, saying:
R:
This rite is ended!
All:
So mote it be!
