Banishing The Circle:

Proceeding widdershins (anticlclockwise) around the circle three times the bands of white light are visualised spinning down and being reabsorbed into the athame.

Then, standing in the centre of the circle facing north bell may be struck once with the following proclamation:

We know by the powers of Air
By the powers of Water we dare
By Fire we wield our will
And by Earth are silent still
And in their heart and height
We tread our road aright.

The circle is now open, but forever unbroken, this rite is ended.

Blessed Be!

[Clap three times]

Finally the candles are extinguished one by one, starting with the altar candle(s)
