A magic circle was cast to purify and create a perimeter of space wherein evil magic could not enter. Goddesses and good spirits were invited into the circle, which sometimes had powerful, protective stones placed at North, South, East, and West points. Each point was associated with the Four Elements. North was the most powerful direction. It represented the element of Earth, the celestial bodies revolving around the North Star, and encompassed all secrets, darkness, and the unknown. South was the element of Fire and therefore associated with the sun. This point signified the meeting of East and West - intuition, insight, reason, and logic - and the channeling of the powers of intellect, clairvoyance, and nature. East was the direction for the element of Air, symbolizing clarity, spiritual awareness, and mysticism. West represented imagination and inspiration, as well as emotions and reason. The circle itself was a mark of infinity and eternity.
A witch would cast a magic circle by turning clockwise, beginning at East, following the revolution of the sun. The magic circle was drawn with either a a magic wand or an anthame (a black-handled ceremonial dagger). A charm or spell was recited as the witch cast the circle, asking the presence of friendly or helpful spirits to attend."

The largest number of elements that I've seen is the Celtic system, which consists of (depending on sources) between 7 and 11 "elements" (counting things like, if I remember correctly, lightning, smoke, etc.) Outside of that, the most I've seen is the 5-7 range.
Depending upon where you got the number of 12 from, that might give a clue on where to research for something a bit more substantial.

Intent.
the rest seem to depend on the type of circle you are using. just did a quick look in one of my books and there is more than one type of circle. Celtic type for one has several different types depending on what use you need them for. have others but they are being shy right now.

I don't know what you're talking about. There are 9 gems on the breastplate of a Jewish high priest, but I can't remember what they are. Oh, well.

People shouldn't mess with things they know nothing about. You just might find more than you bargained for. Meaning no disrespect of course!
