Ways to Cast Your Circle by Jadis, The Queen of Swords
As I'm sure most of you know, there are many ways to cast a protective circle or create a magickal space. I'm going to list only a few. Feel free to comment with your favorite way!
Directing Energy via your Power Tool of Choice:
The Forefinger of your Dominant Hand
Wand
Athame
Sword
Staff
Create a Physical Border by Tracing the Outline of Your Circle Using:
Salt
Holy Water/ Florida Water
Dirt (from a place that carries energy to enhance your magick ie your backyard, a hospital, a graveyard etc.)
Crystals
Candles
BONUS: When practicing with others, everyone can be included in the casting of the circle. The lead practitioner places their hand into the hand of the person standing next to them in the circle while saying "from my hand to your hand, the circle is cast" Then that person places their other hand in the next person's hand repeating the phrase and so on all the way around until the circle is complete and the lead practitioner declares "we are now between worlds" or whatever your group prefers.
Use the method or methods that feel right or work best for you and/or your group!
