I want everyone to look into the flame of your candle. Our computer desk is serving as an altar tonight, to make it a bit less hectic . Anyhow, look into the flame and see the moon. So bright and full, this is the moon in your heart. (1-6,HP) Now look again into the flame of your candle, and see yourself in that flame. See your life energy as it really is. The moon is your heart, the flame, and you life energy. It is one! (1-6,HPS) Let us pause for a moment and let yourself be one with the flame, the moon, and the Goddess. Feel the warmth. Feel the love. Know the Goddess. As the candle burns, remember not what was said, but remember what was done and felt. You and the Goddess are one. (1-6,HP) For those with candles, let them burn till gone. For those without, let them burn in your mind till dawn. For to snuff a flame before it's time really pisses-off the fire faeries!

(1-4,Greg) Lets continue (1-6,HP) Now the celebration is almost through, And I would like to request of you, Work with me to make the sky blue. The earth is our mother From the start she has been there for us And at the end she will remain As we care for each other in this physical world So must we care for our mother earth For now is a time with smoky air now is a time with oceans of oil now is a time with soil of garbage (1-6,HPS) Magic is in me. Magic is in you. Let us spend just a minute and think For collective thoughts is the magic for all Think and create. For in our power lies enough to change that which others deem a lost cause. Think now, one and all, about the beautiful mother. Healthy and... happy and free from the diseases we have previously given her.... Let's make the magic happen. See the mountains in the crystal clear... sky. See the clean oceans sparkling blue. See her beauty under the... full moon light. Think... So Mote It Be! (1-6,HP) Greg, it was a bit unusual to see magic for you mom appearing in the drawing down. I've been under the belief that once magic is done it should be left alone. For any doubt will destroy the results.... Should we work more magic for her now, or should we call it done?...It's your call. (1-4,Greg) What we've worked felt pretty powerful. I think it will do, my mother doesn't exactly know I asked for this. (1-6,HP) Well then, Thought of her will remain clear in all of us. Thoughts of her happy and healthy. It is done. (1-4,Greg) Blessed Be! (1-6,HP) Does anyone want any other collective magic to be done, now is the time. Can we close or does anyone have naything else to add? (1-4,Greg) Best of blessings to you, Aninna, and your Husband (1-3,Annina) Thank you, Greg, and brightest blessings to you and your mother. (1-4,Greg) Many thanx! (1-6,HP) So be it! Let us close this circle! (1-5,Shadow Hawk) Blessed Be! (1-4,Greg) BB to ALL!!! (1-3,Annina) Blessed Be! (1-9,Lars) Blessed Be!! (1-6,HPS) [I will close this online circle, Starting in the East and working counter-clockwise with athame pointed to the circle border, I say] Circle in, Circle out, Bless all those who came about. As our blue light becomes a dim hue, We have been protected, no harm due. I release thee oh circel of love and light, May perfect love and trust always shine bright. [I end in the east from whence I started] So Mote It Be! So Mote It Be! [Now, I must dismiss the elements] (1-6,HP) [I move to the East, and draw a banishing pentagram high in the air] Powers of air, thank you for attending our rites. As the sun rises, know that we are but one. Good night my friends! So mote it be! (1-6,HP) [Moving to the north, I draw another banishing Pentagram] (1-4,Greg) God and Goddess Bless! (1-6,HP) Powers of the Earth, thank you for attending our rites. As the cool wind blows, the silence of truth will fill our minds. Good night my friends! So mote it be!
