May The Circle Be Open

May The Circle Be Open
By Robert Gass

Though it is widely considered traditional and author unknown, having been passed down through the pagan community orally for decades, the earliest recorded print of its specific ritual wording dates back to 1974  in A Book of Pagan Rituals, published by Herman Slater. It details the core components of the closing ritual widely used in Alexandrian and Gardnerian Wiccan traditions.

Lyrics

May the circle be open but unbroken

May the love of the Goddess be ever in our hearts

Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again

Blessed be, blessed be, blessed be
