CIRCLE CONSTRUCTING
Alright, lets make this short and easy, cause actually...it is! Lets take a circle for magickal work and break it down, piece by piece, you'll see how simple this can be:
I conjure thee, O great circle of power: You are specifically stating what you are conjuring; O great circle of power. In this case, you are creating neutral energy.
So that you will be for me a boundary between the world of men and the realms of the mighty spirits: Now you are cutting a boundary between the world of the mundane, and the world of spirit, creating a safe space to collect the energy.
A meeting place of perfect love, trust, peace, and joy, containing the power I will raise herein: The function of this circle is to hold power until you are ready to release it.
I call upon the protectors of the East, South, West, and North, to aid me in the construction of this circle: You are enlisted the guardians of the four quarters to assist you in building your circle and lending their energies, mixing then with your own. You can envision these energies any way you like, as colors, mist, beings, ect
In the name of the Lord and Lady: You are calling on divinity and using their names, lending more power to your circle.
Thus do I conjure thee, O great circle of power: This is an affirmation of what you have done.
This circle is sealed: Meaning nothing is getting in unless you want it to!
O.k. now what if you were not casting a circle for magickal work? Well, let try a protection circle
I conjure thee O circle of protection: You have stated the prime function.
So that you will be a boundary for me between all negativity and all that is dear to me: The line of purpose is drawn and you are included yourself and your loved ones.
A safe place of perfect love, trust, peace, and joy, containing those I wish to protect herein: The function of the circle is to protect all those who are in it, either physically or in your heart/mind.
I call upon the guardians of the East, South, West, and North to aid me in the construction of this circle: Again you are enlisting the guardians of the four quarters to assist you in building your circle and lending their energies, mixing then with your own. And again you can envision them any way you like, as colors, mist, beings, ect
In the name of the Morrigan and Cernunnos: Here you have stated two strong divinities known for their protective qualities. You would substitute your own deities.
Thus do I conjure thee, O great circle of protection: You have affirmed your intent
This circle is sealed: Same as above; Meaning nothing is getting in unless you want it to!
See? Its just a matter of wording to suit your needs. What if you need a circle for healing?
I conjure thee, O great circle of healing, so that you will be for me a boundary between good health and disease, a healing place of perfect love, trust, peace, and joy containing all the positive, healing energies I will raise herein. I call upon the angelic beings of the East, South, West and North to aid me in the construction and healing purpose of this circle, and to help me dispel disease from ______(a specific name).
