A witch casts a
circle to envelope her and be a barrier between what may enter and what may
exit.
Casting a magick circle creates sacred space and sacred time. It is
literally a circle of power.
You should cast a circle
before any magickal workings or meditations. Circles are powerful places
for doing spiritual and healing work.
We purify the space with the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water.
This is where you
will need your creative visualization.
You can use a
wand, or athame, or your finger, or just your mind, and cast a circle around
you (this circle should be more like a bubble surrounding you "as above,
so below"). I usually say:
"I conjure you, o
circle of power, to be for me a boundary between the worlds of men, and the
realms of the mighty spirits.
A meeting place of peace and love, joy and
trust.
A door between the worlds, where life and death meet as one.
To contain the power I will raise herein.
I call upon the protectors of the East, South, West, and North, to aid me
in the construction of this circle.
In the name of the Golden Lord and Silver Lady thus do I conjure you, O circle
of Power!
This circle is sealed."
You can invite the animal powers and the spirits to join you.
Anything you wish to
do can be done at this point.
You are inside of your powerful bubble and
nothing can leave or enter.
You are safe. Do magick for the occasion. Cast
spells. Do Healing and Renewal rituals.
When you are finished,
you take down the circle-Just do the opposite of what you did to construct the circle and say-
"The circle is open but never broken. Blessed Be."
You can vary the way you cast your circle. Witchcraft encourages us to perform our own rituals and spells, as they are more powerful when created by yourself.
