How Do I Cast A circle ?

Answer 1

Well that depends on what tradition you are talking about. That also depends if you are talking about Wicca, Witchcraft, or Ceremonial Magick. Three completely different things.

If you are looking for a Wiccan understanding, try one of Gardner's or Valiente's books. They are the main source of Wicca anyways. If you are looking for a specific Wiccan Tradition's circle casting you will have to do some heavy searching and most likely join one of them.

If you are looking for Witchcraft, I'm sure you could to any bookstore and look in the New Age section. Cunningham's books could help you there.

If you are looking for Ceremonial Magick, check out the Key of Solomon or the Arbatel of Magic, or any other Grimoire.

Or there is Stregheria as well, check out Grimassi and Leland's books.

Or I'm sure one of those New Age personal empowering books have some form of circle casting.

Answer 2

In Wicca the circle is usually cast with the athame (ritual dagger). You hold the athame in your "power" (dominant) hand and point it at the place in the floor where you want to start creating the "wall" of the circle -- usually at the eastern quarter. Then you slowly walk in a circle, moving clockwise, visualizing energy flowing from the tip of the athame to create the energy walls of your temple.

This is the circle casting that I use, spoken while casting:

"I consecrate this circle of power as a temple to the Ancient Ones. Here may They manifest, and bless my endeavors within this sacred space. I stand now between the worlds, before the veil of the Mysteries. May the Lord and Lady guide me and protect me on my magical journey."

When your ritual is completed, you use the athame to "uncast" the circle by doing the procedure in reverse, walking counter-clockwise and visualizing the energy being drawn up by the athame. I then touch the point of the athame to the floor to "ground" the energy back into the earth.

Answer 3

First use your finger, wand, or athame and direct your lifeforce energy (your ch'i) onto an area of the ground several teet away from you, then keep sending your energy through your finger or tool and walk clockwise in a circle until you get back where you started.

After the circle is set; you need to program the purpose of the circle.

If you are interested in circle work; I would recommend for you to get a book such as "Wicca: A Guide For The Solitary Practitioner: Scott Cunninghamm, "Essential Wicca" Paul Tuitean. "The Craft" Dorothy Morrison, "A Witch Alone" Marian Green, or Buckland's guide tp witchcraft.
