When the Circle's work is done, R goes to the East, athame in hand, salutes,
and draws a banishing Earth pentagram, saying:

R: "Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the East, ye Lords of Air, we thank
you for attending our rites; and ere ye depart to your beauteous
realms, we bid thee Hail and Farewell..."

All: "Hail and Farewell !" (R extinguishes Quarter Candle)

Repeat for the remaining Quarters, addressing each with the titles by which
it was invoked.

R thanks and says goodbye to the God and Goddess. (Words To Be Decided.) and
extinguishes altar candles.

R then thanks and dismisses any spirits who have gathered.

R: "The Circle is open but unbroken. Merry meet, merry part and
merry meet again."

R extinguishes the Presence Lamp, saying:

R: "This rite is ended !"

All: "So mote it be !"
