Take the Alter Candle and lights the East Candle from it saying:
 
   " Here do I bring light and air in at the east, to illuminate my temple and bring it the breath of life."

She moves around to the south to light the candle.
 
   " Here do I bring light and fire in at the south, to illuminate my temple and bring it warmth."

To the west.

   "Here do I bring light and water in at the West, to illuminate my temple and wash it clean."

To the north.

   " Here do I bring light and earth in at the north, to illuminate my temple and build it in strength."
 

Move on round to the east and then back to the alter. Replacing Alter Candle, pick up athame and go to the east. With point of athane down, she traces the CIRCLE,  directing her power into it. Returning to the alter, she rings the bell 3 times then place the point of the athame into the salt, saying:

   " As salt is life, let it purify me in all ways I may use it. Let it cleanse my body and spirit as I dedicate myself, in this rite, to the glory of the God and the Goddess."

Drop 3 portions of salt into the water, saying:

   " Let the sacres salt drive out any impurities in the water, that I may use it throughout these rites."

Take up the salted water and, starting and finishing at the east, walkes around sprinkling the circle. Then goes around again with the thurible, censing the circle.
 Back at the alter pick up the athame, moves to the east and, with athame, draws an invoking pentagram.

   " All hail to the element of air; Watchtower of the East. May it stand in strength, ever watching over this circle."

Kiss the blade of the athame then moves to the south, where she draws an invoking pentagram.

   " All hail to the element of fire; Watchtower of the south. May it stand in strength, ever watching over my circle."

Kisses the blade and moves to the west and draws an invoking pentagram.

   " All hail to the element of water; Watchtower of the west. May it stand in strength, ever watching over my circle."

Kisses the blade and moves to the north, where she draws an invoking pentagram.

   " All hail to the element of earth; Watchtower of the north. May it stand in strength, ever watching over my circle."

Kissing the blade, return to the alter, raises athame high.

   " All hail the four Quarters and all hail the Gods!
   I bid the Lord and Lady welcome and invite that they join with me, witnessing these rites I hold in their honor. All hail!"

Takes the goblet and pours a little wine or juice onto the ground (or into the libation dish), then drinks, saying the names of the gods.

   " Now is the Temple erected. So Mote It Be!"

Kisses the blade of the athame.
