| The Circle is the representation of the witch's oneness with the universe. It is also a barrier of the worlds preventing evil energies from entering into the place of magickal working. It is also the sanctuary of power and energy reserved mainly for the conjurer (or the conjurers), where his energies (or their energies) are raised, where elements and other powers invilved are invoked. It is important to note that the circle is a sanctuary and must not be defiled lest ye want its energies to be corrupted. To cast the circle: Walk to the center of the room and relax. Go to north side and point index finger downward and out. Walk deosil in a circle imagining a circle forming. Do this three times while chanting "I conjure thee, O great circle of power, so that you will be for me a boundary between the worlds of men and the mighty spirits. A meeting place of perfect love, trust, and harmony containing the power I will raise in thee. I call upon the guardians of the North, East, South, and West to aid me in this task. In the name of the Lord and Lady, thus I do conjure thee O great circle of Power!" Go to the North quarter, pound the ground with your hand and say "As above, so below, the Circle is sealed!" Closing the Circle: Start in the West and move widdershins around the circle drawing the power back into your finger. When you reach the west again pound the ground with your hand and say "The circle is open but never broken, So mote it be! We are the people, the power, and the change! Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again!" |
