The High Priestess takes the sword, faces East, and draws the Banishing Pentagram of Earth. She holds the sword out and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the East, ye Lords of Air, we do thank ye for attending our rites, and 'ere ye depart unto your pleasant and mighty realms, we bid you hale and farewell!"
The whole coven repeats:
"Hale and Farewell!"
She takes the sword, faces South, and draws the Banishing Pentagram of Earth. She holds the sword out and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the South, ye Lords of Fire, we do thank ye for attending our rites, and 'ere ye depart unto your pleasant and mighty realms, we bid you hale and farewell!"
She takes the sword, faces West, and draws the Banishing Pentagram of Earth. She holds the sword out and says:
"Ye Lords of the Watchtowers of the West, ye Lords of Water, ye Lords of Death and Initiation, we do thank ye for attending our rites, and 'ere ye depart unto your pleasant and mighty realms, we bid you hale and farewell!"
The whole coven repeats after her:
"Hale and farewell!"
