Preparation Suggestions:
Cast either a 3ft - 6ft or 9ft circle.
Place Four White Candles at the Cardinal Directions.[east-west-north-south]
Light Incense
Start Music
Close your eyes, and imagine a tiny light in the center of
your heart chakra. The light is pure white and every time you exhale it grows
larger and larger until it fills the space (above and below like a real sphere)
of your designated circle. When you have finished filling your sphere, recite
the following:
"Yea, This Ground
Of Mortal Clay
Nigh Raise the Gates
To heavens high."
Use either your RIGHT index finger, a wand or the tip of an
athame blade, to define the area around your circle and bind the energy within.
This action also bars any unwanted entities from entering the circle while you
are working. Always begin and end at the eastern most point of the circle
(the direction of the rising sun) and also make sure to travel in a Deosil
direction (clockwise).
Once your circle is securely in place, carry on with any
additional ritual workings you have planned. When you have completed your
ritual session, simply re-define the circle, once again beginning with the
east, but this time move in a Widdershins (counter-clockwise) direction.
This closes the circle and allows the remaining un-used
energy to disperse. Make sure to Ground and Center yourself after you have
closed the circle.
