After bathing in the cleansing waters of the ocean begin setting up the altar as shown.

Line the circle with sea shells and begin the ritual.

Stand before the altar

Lift the athame and walk to the north corner of the circle, point the athame to the ground and say:

I call to the guardians of the north, firm and strong, witness this rite and lend me (us) your power.

Walk to the east and say:

I call apon the guardians of the east, quick and light, witness this rite and lend me (us) your power.

Walk to the south and say:

I call apon the guardians of the south, warm and bright, witness this rite and lend me (us) your power.

Walk to the west and say:

I call apon the guardians of the east, pure and flowing, witness this rite and lend me (us) your power.

Walk back to the altar, touch the athame to the water and say:

I consecrate this water a gift from the ever changing sea, that it may lend it's power to this sacred rite that it may be pure.

Touch the athame to the sand and say:

I consecrate this water a gift from the sturdy earth, that it may lend it's power to this sacred rite that it may be pure.

Use the athame to place three portions of the sand into the water. Use your hand or a deosil so sprinkle water around the circle starting in the north and moving clockwise. Pick up the censer and walk around the circle with it.

Walk to the altar and say:

I stand here in this circle of power, and ask the Lord and Lady to be present and lend their power to this sacred rite.

Hail to the guardians of the four quaters. Hail to the Lord and the Lady. I stand between the worlds with peace and tranquility.

Continue onto the Ritual Observance.

Conduct magick.

After all magickal workings have been finished pick up the athame and the chalace, lower the point of the athame into the chalace and say:

As masculine and feminine are joined, the fruits of their union promote life.

Drink from the chalace then pour some onto the ground.

Pick the athame back up and touch it to the cakes saying:

This food is a gift of the Lord and Lady, I take of it with thanks.

Eat some of the cakes and place some on the ground.

After you are done stand before the altar and say:

Lord and Lady, I am blessed by your presence here. I came in peace now I part in peace.

Take up the athame and walk around the circle clockwise pointing the athame towards the ground, as you walk say:

Depart in peace, guardians of the north, and blessed be.

Depart in peace, guardians of the east, and blessed be.

Depart in peace, guardians of the south, and blessed be.

Depart in peace, guardians of the west, and blessed be.

Walk back to the altar and set down the athame. Snuff the God and Goddess candle and say:

The ceremony has ended. May all go in peace.
