So Mote It Be Meaning
My initial answer to the the definition of So Mote it be was said at the end of a spell/ritual to release energy. I suppose I have not actually tried to find out what the phrase actually means and went strictly on how we always say So Mote it Be at the Prayer and Energy Requests in our school rituals. Now that we have that out of the way, why don't I actually go find out what it means without an assumption!
The basic definition of So Mote It Be is, So Must It Be, And So It Shall Be, Amen, to be allowed, As I will it, so it shall be, so be it, so may it be or even by the will of god, may it be done. At the same time it shows closure to a ritual spell or asking the deities if they could will it or even believe it to happen, so shall it be.
Looking into where the phrase may have come from, there are guesses that the word mote is the word we focus on while attempting to figure out the exact meaning of the phrase. Mote could be Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, Hebrew, Old English or Latin.

It is a blessing, an affirmation, it makes us stand up, tall and strong, and passes our will into weave of energy, making it stronger. It's not to release the energy, it's more personal, it's putting more energy into the workings we are doing. It is a very strong phrase that I wish I would have learned about sooner, instead of overlooking and ignoring it.
The reason I completely missed the mark on So Mote It Be was simply assuming that it was unimportant. I have said and wrote the phrase so many times that it didn't have the energy that it should have and I personally let it fall through the cracks. Until this assignment anyways! The strength and power from this phrase has come to me through the ages and now I have a better understanding of what it means, I am having a hard time justifying the ignorance I had towards it just a few days
