Closing a circle

After opening a circle, and casting your spell, how does one properly close and seal the circle?

I like to thank the elements.

Simple purification ritual should do quite nicely, maybe burn some scented sticks(cinnamon works for me), lighting a candle and a small offering to whatever deity or spirit(ancestral or animal/natures spirits) you believe in or is providing you with protection.

I close a circle in the reverse order of casting it. Basically doing the exact same steps too. I thank each element, deity called on and then go around my circle counter clockwise. Once done, I say "The circle is open, but never broken" as my finishing statement.
