HPS: stands with head bowed and her arms across her breast. Coveners start to move deosil around the circle, chanting the name of the Goddess. They move around completely three times then stop.
HP: stands before Priestess.
HP: Dark is the night as we reach this turning point. Here is a time of death; yet a time of birth
HPS: Endings and beginnings
HP: Ebbing and flowing
HPS: A journey done; a journey yet to start
HP: Let us honor now the Crone-Mother the dark one.
HPS: Let us give of our strength and in return see rebirth.
HP: Behold, the lady of Darkness, Mother, Grandmother. Old yet ever young.
HPS: slowly raises her head and spreads her arms outwards and upwards
HP/HPS: kneel
HPS: Hear me! Honor me, Love me now and always. As the wheel turns we see birth, death and rebirth. Know, from this, that every end is a beginning. Every stop a fresh starting point. Maiden, Mother, Crone. I am all of these and more. Whenever you have need of anything call upon me. I, and my Lord, are here, for I abide within you all. Even at the darkest of times, when there seems no single spark to warm you and the night seems blackest of all, I am here, watching and waiting to grow with you, in strength and in love. I am she who is at the beginning and the end of all time. So Mote It Be
HP/HPS: So Mote It Be
HPS: folds her arms again. There is a moment or two of silence, then the circle is closed
