Priest/ess:"We came together in love and friendship; let us part the same way. Let us spread the love we have known in this Circle outward to all; sharing it with those we meet."
Priest/ess raises sword or athame, in salute. All coveners raise their athames.
Priest/ess:"Lord and Lady, our thanks to you for sharing this time together. Our thanks for watching over us; guarding and guiding us in all things. Love is the Law and Love is the Bond. Merry did we meet; merry do we part; merry may we meet again."
All:"Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again."
Priest/ess:"The Temple is now cleared. So Mote It Be."
All:" So Mote It Be!"
All kiss their athame blades. They then move about the Temple to kiss one another in farewell.
