BIDDING HAIL AND FAREWELL
TO THE FOUR GUARDIAN SPIRITS

Things you will need:

Your candle snuffer.

In an anti-clockwise direction, snuff out each candle in turn starting in the North and finishing in the East, bidding hail and farewell to each of the Guardian spirits as you do so.

Snuff out the green candle, whilst saying the following words:

" I …NAME…,
STAND BEFORE THE GATES
OF THE WATCHTOWER OF THE NORTH.
I GIVE BLESSINGS AND THANKS
AND BID HAIL AND FAREWELL ONTO
THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF EARTH
FOR HEARING MY PLEA.
SO MOTE IT BE AND BLESSED BE. "

Snuff out the blue candle, whilst saying the following words:

" I …NAME…,
STAND BEFORE THE GATES
OF THE WATCHTOWER OF THE WEST.
I GIVE BLESSINGS AND THANKS
AND BID HAIL AND FAREWELL ONTO
THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF WATER
FOR HEARING MY PLEA.
SO MOTE IT BE AND BLESSED BE. "

Snuff out the red candle, whilst saying the following words:

" I …NAME…,
STAND BEFORE THE GATES
OF THE WATCHTOWER OF THE SOUTH.
I GIVE BLESSINGS AND THANKS
AND BID HAIL AND FAREWELL ONTO
THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF FIRE
FOR HEARING MY PLEA.
SO MOTE IT BE AND BLESSED BE. "

Snuff out the yellow candle, whilst saying the following words:

" I …NAME…,
STAND BEFORE THE GATES
OF THE WATCHTOWER OF THE EAST.
I GIVE BLESSINGS AND THANKS
AND BID HAIL AND FAREWELL ONTO
THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF AIR
FOR HEARING MY PLEA.
SO MOTE IT BE AND BLESSED BE. "

You have now bid hail and farewell to the elements.
