Closing a Circle for Spirit Summoning

This rite is used to dissolve a Circle conjured for spirit summoning and release any entities or spirits that were present. It unbinds the space and returns it to ordinary, sealing the work that has been done.

Stand just outside the Circle with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Take a steady breath and say:

By pact and prayer, by bond and breath,
The road now fades, the way is set.
No oath remains, no word untold—
Depart in peace, be free, be whole.

Extend the index and middle fingers of your dominant hand. Begin to trace the Circle’s boundary in reverse. Move anticlockwise first to loosen the bonds, then clockwise to begin dissolving the space, and finally anticlockwise once more to fully unmake the seal. As you trace, recite:

This line is dust, this mark undone,
The veil is drawn, the thread unspun.
By root and flame, by blood and stone,
Go now, unseen—return to your own.

When the final tracing is complete, scatter earth, sprinkle water, or your blast your breath over the space where the Circle once stood. Step back, place your palm over your heart, and speak softly:

The wind forgets, the stars bear witness—
The Circle is closed, the rite is finished.
