Comes forth!
Oh Great and Mighty Ones,
Open up the gates,
For (Name) comes forth!
Let the gates of Tir na N'Og
Be opened up,
For (name), Beloved, comes forth!
Into your Light He/She comes!

Hear me, Oh Great and Mighty Ones!
(Name) greatly beloved ,comes forth!
We are full of sorrow and sighing......
Oh (name), we who love you,
Feel the sting of your passing.
Do we feel empty
Because of your going forth?
Do we feel hollow
Because you've gone away?
Do we feel ire
At our feelings of abandonment?
Oh (name), why have you left us?
Weep! Weep friends!
For (name) is no longer amongst us!
(Pause)
My Children,
(Name) has left us.
Is He/She not in Avalon?
Has not (name) eaten
Of the Golden Apples,
Of the Golden Apples of Avalon?

| At this point in the ritual,there is a pause where all of the members, beginning with the High Priestess, may say something in remembrance of our friend and Brother/Sister. Commemorations, anecdotes, amusing stories, and eulogies are suggested. And, also at this point, favorite pieces of music may be played, and toasts to the Brother/Sister may be given.

Then, let us dance and let us sing
In all joyfulness
For our Beloved (name),
Who is ever reborn,
And ever returning!

Ayea Kernunnos!
