The Blessings Ritual

Rated 4/5 Stars

Summoner:
The Hour is upon us
Be it known to all the temple will now be erected
The circle cast
Let those who desire attendance gather now
To prepare our sacred space
Let none be here but of their own free will
We are entering a place
That is not a place
And a time
That is not a time
A circle with out end

May every drink you take taste sweeter
May every love you have be deeper
May your lives be filled with abundance and joy

HP: Lord and Lady, we have been blessed by Your presence during this time with us, watching us, guarding us; guiding us here and in all things. We came with love and we depart with love. Love is the Law and Love is the Bond. Merry did we meet, Merry do we part and Merry will we meet again. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again!

North: Depart in peace, Elemental Earth. Our Blessings take with you

East: Depart in peace, Elemental Air. Our Blessings take with you

HP: Beings and powers of the visible and invisible depart in peace! You aid in our work, whisper in our minds, and bless us from the Otherworld. Let there ever be harmony between us. Our blessings take with you.

Summoner: The circle is open yet the circle remains as its magical power is drawn back into everyone in attendance. The ritual is ended! Blessings have been given, and Blessings have been received. May the peace of the Goddess and the god remain forever in our hearts. The circle is open but will remain unbroken so mote it be.
