"Salt and Water
Inner and Outer
So shall this Circle be cleansed!
Cast out all that is harmful,
Take in all that is good and healing.
Naught but love shall enter in,
Naught but love shall emerge from within!
By the powers of Life, Death and Rebirth...
So Mote It Be!"

"May the powers of the One
The Source of all Creation,
All-Pervasive, Omnipotent, Eternal;
May the Goddess,
Lady of the Moon;
May the God,
Horned Hunter of the Sun;
May the Guardians of the Watchtowers,
Rulers of the Elemental Realms;
May the powers of the Stars above
And the Earth below
Bless this Place, and this Time,
And we who are with you!"
"The Circle is cast
We are between the Worlds
Beyond the bounds of Time
Where Night and Day
Birth and Death
Joy and Sorrow
Meet as one."
"The Fire is lit
The Ritual is Begun!"
