**Cleansing**: The leader begins by cleansing the area with salt water, saying, "By salt and water, we cleanse this space. May all negativity be gone from this place."

**Circle Casting**: The leader casts the circle, walking deosil (clockwise) with their wand. As they do so, they chant, "We draw this circle of power and light. A boundary to protect us on this moonlit night."

**Calling the Quarters**: Starting with the East, the leader calls upon the elements. As they call each one, they light a corresponding candle. They could say, for example, "Spirits of the East, element of Air, we invite your presence. Bring us wisdom and clarity, your essence we share."

**Invoking Deity**: The leader invites the Goddess and God, saying, "Goddess of the moon, God of the sun, join us in our circle, for our rite has begun."

**Main Ritual**: The leader initiates the group chant for the main ritual. Each coven member lights their candle from the central flame and holds their moonstone. As a group, chant, "By the light of the moon, full and bright, we honor your power, we draw on your light."

**Group Sharing**: Each member shares something they're thankful for or wish to release. When each member speaks, the group affirms with a simple, "So mote it be."

**Grounding**: The coven shares food and drink. As the leader distributes these, they say, "As we partake of the Goddess' bounty, may we be grounded, balanced, and ever bountiful."

**Closing**: The leader thanks the deities, saying, "Goddess and God, your presence brought grace. We thank you for joining, each in their place." They then release the quarters and close the circle, saying, "Spirits of the quarters, elements four, we thank you for joining, depart now from our door. The circle is open, but unbroken, may the peace of the Goddess be ever in our hearts."

**Final Blessing**: The leader concludes with a final blessing: "Merry meet, and merry part, and merry meet again."
