Closing the Temple

Closing the Temple



First be sure to ground any excess energy from the right then begin by thanking the Goddess and the God.

"Goddess and good, we thank you for your presence.
For your circle, for your light and love, for might and change.
We ask for your blessings as you depart. Hail and fare well!
Blessed be!"

Face the proper corner, drawing the banishing pentacle.

"Spirits of West and Water, I thank you four your aid and power Blessed be!
Spirits of South and Fire, I thank you for your aid and power Blessed be!
Spirits of East and Air, I thank you for your aid and power Blessed be!
Spirits of North and Earth, I thank you for your aid and power Blessed be!"

Now pick up your Athame, walk to the edge of the circle, use it to back slash and say.

"The circle is now open, but unbroken
Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again!"
