🔮 Alternatives To Casting A Circle

Casting a circle is a basic witchcraft 101 ritual that every witch has done or at least knows and have heard of it. There's a few variations to it, but it's all in it's essences the same. Cleanse a space, place items of the elements, call the elements, deities if you have any, how to exit and enter the circle again, closing it, and etc.

Listen, you do not need to cast a circle for every spell you do. It's honestly over kill. It's understandable if you're planning to do a bunch of spells, most important spell, detailed spell for long hours in 1 sitting/place. But most of us are probably walking back and forth the living room fetching books and tools. Going from the kitchen to the dining table with food, doing something at the front door, is busy with something private in the bedroom, is outside, have roommates, etc.

What I'm trying to say is that, not everyone can sit still in their circle. I cast a circle very rarely, and the times I do I constantly have to exist it to fetch a tool, ingredient, a book, anything that I forgot. It ruins the energy flow having to cut it open and sew it back up. By now, my circle is probably a patched up quilt with the amount of holes I have given it.

Here's some alternatives on what to do:

I have a super comprehensive guide on everything you can do to cleanse a space if you want unwanted energies to stay the fuck away and a clean space.

You can also simply not do anything. Just cast your spell with no worries.

Why not make your whole home the circle? Cast the circle once for your whole home, your front door is now the door into the circle. No need to renew the circle or close it ever (unless you had guest over or something, up to you). Hang bells by the door to scare any energy from entering.

Just sprinkle salt in the corners of your home. Your circle is cast and your space protected.

Or crystals around your home like selenite to keep your energy inside and spells protected.

Sigil by your front door/doormat, nothing enters or exist without your permission.

Do you have a deity, just call upon them to protect you. Bid them goodbye like you would a friend when you invite them over for coffee.

Are you outside? Again, you don't have to cast any circle. Your energy is powerful enough to protect your spell.

Or draw a circle in the sand/dirt with no need to call any elements. You're literally outside, the elements are literally all around you. They're already there with no need to call them.

Feel free to add more alternatives or your thoughts. I've just seen quite a few witches get exhausted having to cast a circle to light 1 candle for a spell and then close the whole circle.

I haven't read the DemonSlayer Manga yet but I have read the others you mentioned so.

Jujutsu kaisen - I love it, it's so good and is one of my favorite manga.

The promised neverland - please the arc that doesn't exist in the second season is so good like, definitely one of the best I've read, so yes, 100% you must read the manga

Chainsaw Man - it's really really really bizarre lmao but it's still one of the best I've read so if the fact that it's bizarre doesn't affect you, you should definitely read it

And I've also watched some new animes so I hope you won't mind if I recommend some of them to you

Devilman cry baby - I started it years ago and at some point I left it there lmao but I just finished it, it has 12 episodes so you can watch it in a day if you want to but yeah, I think it was pretty good

Violet evergarden - I love this anime so much like, the animation, the details, it's all so beautiful so yes, you should definitely watch it if you're interested.

heaven's officer's blessing - I love it, that's all, I think you'll love it too if you haven't seen it.

And yes, you are definitely one of the most amazing and coolest person I've ever met and the best♡
