here is an example of a basic circle casting which can be performed quickly and easily without the use of tools.
procedure:
1. stand in the middle of your circle. relax and breathe deeply. imagine that your crown (the top of your head) opens up like a funnel to receive divine, white light.
2. open your arms, palms facing out. with each in-breath, visualise yourself pulling down pure, divine light through your crown, and as you breathe out you channel this light out through your palms to create a protective shield around you. as you fill the space around you with this high-vibration energy you may feel a tingle or buzz, you may get goose bumps, or you’ll feel light and uplifted.
3. now hold one arm outstretched (the one you write with) and point to the edge of the circle. spin around clockwise three times, mentally marking out your circle with the divine light.
4. then raise your arms above your head and say: “i ask that [your deity] blesses this circle, so that i may be free and protected within this space. so mote it be”.
you are now ready to cast your spell or perform your ritual.
how to close your circle:
1. hold out your arm and spin around anti-clockwise three times and feel the protective light dispersing.
2. thank the spirits for their presence and declare the circle closed.
