Closing the Gates and Ending the Rite

Now by the keeper of the gates and by my magic I end what I began.
Let the fire be flame,
Let the well be water,
Let the gates be closed!

This day may I have
Wisdom with those who cross my path,
Piety in keeping the Old ways,
Vision to greater understanding,
Courage as I face myself and others,
Integrity to those I give my word,
Perseverance to carry on,
Hospitality to all who ask,
Moderation to bring me into balance and
Fertility to bring forth the bounty of my creativity
