Magick of a Circle

To Cast, or Not to Cast

Not all Practitioners use a Circle in their Magick or Medicine. But, before you decide to alter your personal practices to cast a Circle, it is essential to know WHY you are casting that Circle, as well as being acquainted with what you are calling to “guard your watchtowers”, or “gates”, or what energies you call in.

Have you worked with each one? How long has it been since you last worked with those specific energies?

It matters for your Intent. It matters how your Medicine and Magick will be powered. Are using a finite resource like Personal energy? Are you using a battery or connecting to something external? Just as spells weaken, energetic bonds can too. Between molecules, or deity, over Time, it naturally dissipates.

Once you understand the “why”, you can then decide the “how”. The how is as diverse as the Practitioners casting them!

The purpose of a Circle, historically, is to raise a “cone of power”, or Spiritual energy. In the casting of that energetic, psychic, circle. This occurs around you or your fellow Practitioners during Craft, Ritual, or another place used to “gather ‘round”. The technique is as ancient as humans themselves.

We have held fast to this tradition for thousands of years. It is used as Sacred Space for one’s decided Intent as well as asking a Deity, Elder, Ancestor, or Guides you are working with if it an action taken, or Work should be constructed. We ask how it benefits, or will cost. A Circle is also often used to connect with your Higher Self for the same purposes as mentioned above.

PURPOSES

Another purpose of your Intented Circle is to energetically seal your purpose around you, creating a “vessel” of energy in your space. Whether that Intent is Additive or Subtractive energy does not matter. You seal in the energies to enhance your Works, Protecting you and the Craft, as well as others inside the Circle from Energy outside of the Circle that may not want to see your Intent to fruition. (Elders that did not approve of your Path for example. Even in death, some do not. You can begin to Intuitively determine that answer for yourself as you work.)

Remember, the Universe looks to always balance and if that means stopping what you are doing, it very well may try.

Reverend Richoz, “I was asked once by an Ancestor to “turn off the light” because she did not wish to “see” what I was doing.”

You can Experience that too when you honestly cast a Circle from YOUR heart, with your own sacred words and call upon the energies that call to you. (Analyze what you do in your practices and why. The answer may surprise you.)

Simply stated, a Circle is an Energy Construct, shaped by Intent and filled with Thought and Emotion towards your Work. (Remember that talk about “emotion” and Soul Retrieval? One thing connects to another.) If constructed strongly in the prescribed method for the Work at hand, it is known to affect those inside of it. This is to be expected as you are raising a “cone of power” or Energy, hence, cleansing before AND AFTER is a good idea. It is also a good idea to eat or drink to replenish what was burned as energy from you personally.

It does not matter if you are bathing on a butte with a drum circle or dancing for MidSummer in your room… CLEANSE. Mainly because you collect others energies throughout the day and carry them with you to Craft. Some of you are GOOD at cleansing…. some need to practice the technique when they arrive home from somewhere before they enter their property. #HygieneIsImportant

CIRCLE BASICS

This is a basic Crafting Skill that Practitioners become better at the more they utilize it. It becomes easier the more you naturally flow with Self. Know that every Work does not need a Circle, though. Taking a magickal shower or preparing some Kitchen Witchery for dinner do not always require such measures. Especially if you keep your property warded, but that is another story!

…she is legally blind.

This is how she casts a Circle.
