Casting and Closing A Circle Have your altar and tools prepared and mark the circle with quarter candles. Move to the middle of the circle and state while spinning in a deosil direction: I open my hand and the circle grows, It encompasses and protects me, As above, So below, This Circle is sealed! Then follows the call of the quarters, beginning in the North, light each candle while invoking that quarter: North, the power of Fire, West, the power of Earth, South, the power of Air, East, the power of Water, Assist me now. While lighting the candles, visualise a growing sphere that encompasses your sacred space. To close the circle, release the quarters. Say the following while walking clockwise around the circle, snuffing out each candle as you go: East, South, West and North, I thank you for your assistance, May we meet again in love and trust. Move to the centre of the circle. Raise your hands above your head and slowly bring them to your sides while moving clockwise around the circle. Say as you go: I close my hand and the circle shrinks, This circle is open But never broken. The circle is now open.
