Full Moon Ritual for IRC

Opening:

Let us call to the Spirits of the Qaurters, so that they might 
stand with us in our Circle this night!

Preist:	In the time of this Full Moon, I call upon Hermes. 
Guide of Souls who doth lead them unto the Goddess, and rebirth 
in the Moon, Gaurdian of travelers on The Road and of secret things,
I call to You and welcome You to our Circle. Hermes, Lieter 
und Vermittler, Ich begruBe Sie!  Kommen Sie und blieben Sie 
mit uns fur deise nacht! So sei es!

Preistess: Oh Goddess of the full Moon, shining brightly above 
our heads, we greet Thee. Mother Hecate who's light illuminates 
the night, I call to You and welcome You to our Circle. 
Hekate, Mutter und Eneuernin, Ich BegruBe Sie! Kommen Sie Shone 
Damen und blieben Sie mit uns fur diese nacht! So sei es!

Preist: Brothers and Sisters, we gather again in the ancient 
light of Our Lady and stand as always on the Path set for us 
by Our Lord. In this time of fullness, I bid you to drink deeply 
of the energy She sends to us, and contemplate its mysteries. 
This is a time of renewal and rest;open your hearts and 
let Her gentle Light fill you with its peace. So sei es!

Closing:

Preist:	Hermes, Guide of Souls and Gaurdian of travelers 
on The Road we thank You for gracing us with Your presence 
this night. We bid Thee farewell till next we meet fair Hermes,
 but Thy council shall always be with us. Hermes,
Lieter und Vermittler, Ich denke Sie! Auf Weidersehen, Hermes! So sei es!

Preistess: Hecate, Goddess of the full Moon, Renewer of Life, 
we thank You for gracing us with Your presence this night. 
We bid Thee farewell till next we meet under Thy Light; may it
 shine forever within our hearts and light our steps! Hekate, 
Mutter und Eneuernin, Ich denke Sie! Auf Weidersehen, Hekate! 
So sei es!

Now let us bid our farewells to the Spirits of the Qaurters.
