Hi, Below is the script for opening and closing the Ceremony.
The information part Is marked in RED, and is not displayed to the chat room.
The rest is done by the facilitator, or can be split up among members of the group.
-------------
Copy & paste each line, or piece to the chat room. Pause between them. Give people a chance to read and feel what is written. LOL - don't send the separators - just take a longer pause at that point. And relax and enjoy, you will do well. Peace and Love, ¸..· ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ ..·´ -:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* ~ John ~ -:¦:-

Erecting the Temple
Be it known, the circle is about to be cast.
Let none be here, but of their own freewill.
We take the candle and walk in a circle, casting the circle.
As salt is life, let it purify us in all ways.
Let the sacred salt drive out all impurities in this water.
We walk clockwise around the circle, and sprinkle salted water.
The sacred circle is cast.
We are here of our own free will and accord, in peace and in love.
-------------
We all enter the circle.
-------------
We call the 4 corners.
Que, by whisper, who ever is doing this part .
-------------
Now are we all here, and the Temple is erected.
Let none leave, but with good reason.
So mote it be.
All say - So mote it be.
-------------
Preform the ceremony.
Either New Moon or Full Moon.
--- Que Priestess at the right time ---

Cakes and Drink
This food is the blessing of the Gods to our bodies, let us partake of it freely.
Now we share food and drink with each other - and chit chat.
Encourage people to chat and joke around for a while.
After a bit suggest that we clear the Temple and end.
-------------
Clearing the temple
We came together in Love and friendship, let us part the same way.
Love is the law, and love is the bond.
Merry did we meet, and merry do we part, merry may we meet again.
All - Merry meet, merry part, merry meet again.
The temple is cleared, so mote it be.
All - So mote it be
We all kiss one another farewell.
