Closing the Circle
|
|
|
|
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 !"
