Closing the Circle
Thank Goddess and God
"Lady and Lord, thank you for sharing this time with me.
My thanks for watching over me, guarding and guiding us.
Go if you must, stay if you will, but remain always in our hearts
and know you are always welcome here.
So mote it Be!"
Closing the Circle
Visualize the blue energy growing less bright and finally going back to your body from which it came from. Concentrate and say :
"By the Earth that is Her body
and by the Air that is Her breath
and by the Fire of Her bright spirit
and by the living Waters of Her womb
The Circle is open, but unbroken
May the joy of the Goddess
live in our hearts.
Merry meet and merry part
And merry meet again."
Clean up Altar space and Disposing the Items
Clean everything up in your Altar and prepare to dispose the Items. If they represented someone, keep them in a safe place, or burn them sprinkling some salt on them.
If the item can't be burned, hold it in your hand over the smoke of the incense and say:
"No longer this (name of item) represents anyone or anything.
It's once again simply an object, signifying nothing.
Anything that I or anyone else does to this (name of item)
will have no relationship with the person this used to represent.
This (name of item) is now pure and clean, cleansed of all energies."
After a Ceremony, do not try any activities, just relax and take a rest.
