Light the green candle, whilst saying the following words:

" I …NAME…,
STAND BEFORE THE GATES
OF THE WATCHTOWER OF THE NORTH.
I CALL FORTH THE
GUARDIAN SPIRIT OF EARTH
TO HEAR MY PLEA,
TO GUIDE AND ASSIST ME
AND PASS YOUR POSITIVE ENERGIES
THROUGH ME.
I BRING OFFERINGS
OF ...THIS PENTACLE...
ONTO THEE. "

The elements have now been called.

LIGHTING YOUR SAMHAIN CANDLES
TO CALL FORTH ON THE MOON GODDESS AND THE SUN GOD

Things you will need:

RAISING YOUR ENGERGIES SAYING THE WORDS
AND RELEASING YOUR ENERGIES

Things you will need:

Your written Samhain words.
Your cauldron.

Dance, sing or just sit tranquil for a while within the circle to raise your energies.

Then when you feel your energies are at their peak pick up the written words of the Samhain ritual and say them aloud:

" AS THE YEAR DRAWS TO AN END
YOU’VE BEEN OUR PROVIDER,
PROTECTER AND FRIEND.
THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO DIE,
WE’LL SHED NO TEARS
WE WILL NOT CRY.
WE’LL DRINK A TOAST TO YOU OUR HOST,
EAT CAKES FOR THE DEAD
AND BREAK THE BREAD.
YOUR LIFE WAS GREAT,
YOUR DEATH WAS SAD,
BUT AS THE WHEEL TURNS
WE’LL ALL BE GLAD.
FOR AS YULE TIME COMES
SO WILL YOU,
REBORN FROM THE GODDESS
FRESH AND NEW. "

Focus on the moment for a while before burning the written sabbat words in the flames of the sabbat candles. Place the burning sabbat words in to your cauldron and watch it burn.

You have now released the energies of the Samhain ritual in to the atmosphere.

EATING AND DRINKING A TOAST

Things you will need:

Your chalice.
A bottle of wine or juice.
A fresh loaf of bread or fruit cake.

Then spend a while to visualise your parents.

When you are ready, pour some of the wine in to your chalice then in to the bowl of earth as an offering to the Moon Goddess and the Sun God.

Drink of the wine saying the following words as you do so:

Return your chalice to the altar and collect your second athame to cut the bread. Place some of the bread in to the bowl of earth as an offering to the Moon Goddess and the Sun God.

Then eat of the bread saying the following words as you do so:

" I …NAME…,
BREAK BREAD WITH YOU BOTH
MY SPIRITUAL PARENTS,
WITH THANKS FOR ALL
YOU HAVE GIVEN
TO ME AND MINE. "

BIDDING HAIL AND FAREWELL
TO THE MOON GODDESS AND THE SUN GOD

Things you will need:

Your candle snuffer.

" BROTHERS AND SISTERS HEAR MY CALL,
WITCHCRAFT'S CALLING YOU ONE AND ALL.

LET THE ENERGIES HIT YOU IN A BEAUTIFUL WAVE. "
