5. Circle Casting

The Circle is a sphere of energy separating sacred space from mundane space. Within the Circle's parameters we are in another world, the gatelands to the spirit realms. When you cast a circle you are both marking off the physical boundaries of the Ritual space and building a containment field to hold and focus the energies that will be raised.

Wiccan Circles are cast clockwise (deasil).

Casting the circle is a Magical act and should be capped with statement of success such as "So mote it be."

We use a three part circle casting invoking the day world, the night world, and the twilight world between.

Now we make our sacred space by building a sphere of energy around us we cast this circle of light by calling upon the three worlds we move between.

We cast this circle thrice about:

Once for the world of daylight,

For the world of intellect and clarity.

The mundane world of work and distinction

We cast this circle thrice about:

Once for the world of moonlight,

for the world of intuition and secrets.

The winter world of Mystery and Magic.

We cast this circle thrice about:

Once for the twilight world

outside of time, Between all places,

Where we gather to do our Work.

The Circle is cast

We stand between the worlds

Let all who enter, enter in love

Let all who leave, leave in peace."
