Witches and Pagans working alone may have fewer tools. Other tools – such as a wand, pentacle, censer, cauldron, scourge, athame, chalice, cords and other items-are placed inside the circle area. As the circle is cast, a field of psychic energy is visualized. You may be confused as to the many different descriptions and tools used to cast his circle, but just know that each style of magic will generally have some small change and logic as to why they do their circle a certain way. Some people will even use their finger if they do not have the aforementioned tools. GRIMOIRES and magical traditions give detailed instructions for casting the circle with a consecrated ritual TOOL such as a dagger, a sword, or a wand during certain astrological conditions and hours of the day or night. The circle is crucial to the magician’s well-being and protection and must be cast carefully. magic circles do not last indefinitely protective ones must be periodically recharged through ritual. It is important to close a circle in order not to leave the ritual space psychically active.Ĭircles can be cast for protection, for example, to ward off psychic attack or protect a home against intruders. As a final release of energy, the spirits and deities are bid farewell, candles are extinguished, and the circle is ritually banished. At the close of rites, food and drink is consecrated, offered to the deities, and shared by all (see Cakes and Wine). The circle may be opened at any time for exit or entry, then closed again. The purpose of the ritual-such as magic working, a handfasting, or seasonal festival-is stated and the work is carried through. The magician must never leave the circle during a ritual nor even so much as swing his arm outside it, lest a “conjured demon grab him and strike him down”. If the magician performs a ritual calling for the CONJURATION of spirits which are dangerous and difficult to control, the circle provides protection against them. Traditional Circles – The magician/witch enters a magical circle in anticipation of uniting with God, the gods, ANGELS, and the forces of nature in a harmonious relationship of ecstatic union. The center of the circle is the Self, and in the process of magical workings, the magician expands himself or herself to the circumference of the circle or to the Infinite. The circle also corresponds to the Ain Soph of the kabbalistic Tree of Life. It symbolizes the infinite and also the astral sphere or cosmos of the magician, outside of which nothing exists. In ceremonial magic, the circle provides a defined space for the working of a ritual. In black magic, we can also cast a circle, for the same reason being to keep out energies that we do not want in our space. A magic circle protects a magician against negative spirits and influences and creates a symbolic barrier against the magician’s own lower nature. Within the circle, it becomes possible to transcend the physical to open the mind to deeper and higher levels of consciousness.Ĭircles have had a magical, protective significance since ancient times when they were drawn around the beds of sick persons and mothers who had just given birth, to protect them against DEMONS. A circle symbolizes wholeness, perfection, and unity the creation of the cosmos the womb of Mother Earth the cycle of the seasons, and birth-death-regeneration. The magic circle provides a boundary for reservoir of concentrated power and acts as a doorway to the realm of the gods. Watch the video above to learn this technique, and give it a go a few times.Basically, a sacred, purified, and protected space in which magical RITUALS are conducted. Then, I weave the ends in to that first row in the pattern. This helps to ensure that the circle does not come undone. Then I start a knot and insert my yarn needle so that I can work that knot as far down as possible (toward the finished piece). I do like to take the finished project and tighten up the circle a bit more by pulling it tight. That being said, you’ll want to watch the video as well: Then make a chain and you’re all set to go! Yes, it really is that easy. Take your hook and go under the first section of yarn to hook the second, and pull up a loop.
