What is the meaning? From what I've read it is a Pagan term or simply means "let it be".

So Mote It Be

blah. pagans did/still do use it, and they do it to finish off a spell or whatever.
"so may it ever be" is one of say it. "mote" insinuates that whatever we just wished become unchangeable, everlasting, almost as if "that's how it has always been."
it's a very strong form of "so may it ever be" and at the same time, "so must it ever have been."
blah, i suck at explaining this one. if anyone wants to put that into better words, i could use it.

As I understand it it's Old English for "so be it"
