Circle Casting

 I’m regularly asked questions on both our website and social media pages about how to cast spells. I always begin with the importance of circle casting. More often than not people are unaware of the importance of this step and the reasons behind it. Here I have written instructions for casting a circle. If you don't have all of the tools and herbs needed to cast the circle, I have put together a full kit, complete with the instructions below, to give you a helping hand. You can purchase the kit via the buy button attached to the end of this blog post.

For those of you who already possess the tools required, below are my full circle casting instructions. I wanted to share these with you, free of charge, as the importance of this step cannot be underestimated. Amongst many other important reasons for circle casting, if purchasing spell kits from us, a circle will make it infinitely more successful.

It is always best, before any magickal work is performed, to cast a circle. There are two main reasons for doing so. Firstly, the circle offers protection from negative energy and entities which, without the circle, would be able to enter the sacred space and cause havoc in both our spell work and within our own energy field.

 

Secondly, the circle acts as a cone of power (hence the hat of a witch being cone shaped). Once cast there is will be a boundary of energy around your circle. This doesn’t go straight up, it forms a cone shape, with the top point being in the very centre of your circle. As we chant, cast spells, sing, dance or even talk inside our circle it raises energy. Without a properly cast circle this energy cannot build, it will simply disperse, making your spell work much less effective. With a sacred circle cast the energy will build at the top of the cone, gathering until we are ready to release and visualise it being sent to the place we most need it to go.

 

 

There are many ways to cast a circle, many calls to the watchtowers and to various deities from across the pantheons. You may only identify as a witch and not with any Gods or Goddesses so may not wish to invite deity to your circle. We have included this step as we work closely with various  Gods & Goddesses within our coven, the ones whom we invite for each ritual depends on the spell work involved and who will best aide us to reach our goal. You can simply invite the Goddess should you wish to.
