Ok.... now I am going to try to give you a
sample list of things you can use, and how to use them, to make the
circle with.
Stone Circle - One of my personal favorites, you
can use any number of stones you wish, but I have found 13 to work
quite well for me. You line them up in a circle around you. As you
place each one, bless it by asking it to help keep you and any others
in your circle safe from evil, negetive energy, and harm. This is a
fairly simple circle to place and the stones can be left in place for
future workings.
Candle Circle - This is one that you can use
when you are running short on time, or you can't get outside to do a
circle that way. All you have to do is use your quarter candles,
which I will expain later in detail, set up at the four cardinal
points (directions).
This can be done anywhere there is not a lot of
wind to blow out the candles. Again, you will be asking the
directions and their corresponding elements to watch over your
workings.
Salt or Flour Circle - Most people prefer to use
salt (specifically Sea Salt) but in a pinch, flour will work. To cast
this circle, you cleanse the area and then you take salt and pour it
in a circle around the area you are going to use for your work. You
can, as you do this ask the elements to guide you and watch over your
workings. When I use this one, I prefer to physically "open" the
circle by using my foot to push the salt in one area out of the circle
pattern.
Ring of Trees - Ok, so this one may not be easy
to attain, but it is a really easy and powerful one. All you have to
do is a simple cleansing, to reinforce the positive energy. Then you
walk in, ask the elements to guide you and move on with your work.
If any one else has any chosen methods, please
let me know and I will be happy to add them to this page. I will
discuss the specifics of casting and closing circles later.
