Cleansing Space and Circle Casting
A ritual to cleanse your space of all negative energy and create a sacred circle of protection before spell casting, performing rituals or communicating with spirits. You can cleanse your space just before casting the circle both in the same ritual. Itβs efficient and easy and you know the space and energy within your sacred circle is cleansed and fizzing with magic. Think of this as a bubble of protection you put around yourself before you go on to do further magic making, you wouldnβt want to βtrapβ negative energy inside it. This ritual is compatible with any other rituals, spells, and spreads and is easy to customize to many deities/pantheons/belief systems that you may work with.
Materials:
Your favorite incense stick
Black candle
Matches/lighter
The Ritual:
Light your candle and then use this to burn your incense stick with your non-dominant hand.
Take your incense and follow the diagram to create the sign of the pentagram lightly over your body.
Start at your forehead and glide down to your left hip as you say βEarth,β imagine the smell of rich soil grounding you.
Come back up to your right shoulder as you pronounce the first syllable of water βwaββ imagine the feeling of water cleansing your skin.
Pop on over to your left shoulder on the second syllable of water ββter.β
Down to your right hip as you say βfireβ imagine a powerful warmth filling and energizing you from your heart space
Then sweep back up to your forehead to complete the five-pointed star as you say βairβ and imagine a gust of wind sweeping into you, clearing your mind.
Lastly sweep a big circle anti-clockwise, completing the pentagram as you say, βEnergy of the Etherβ (you can customize this to any word choice to better serve your belief system).
Come down to your heart as you start to draw the left half of an infinity symbol on its side and say βprotect me.β
Draw the right half of the infinity symbol as you say, βfor an infinity.β
Now walk around your space (a 7 ft circle is the tradition, but if youβre in a small space you can just turn around on the spot) clockwise drawing it with your incense as you say βcleanse and make sacred this space for my magical workings. Banish all negative energy and allow only positive energies through this circle to aid.β
You are done!
