Ritual Etiquette
Circle or
Ritual Etiquette
People have often asked me about the
"rules and regulations" of a circle. These are the guidelines from a coven to
which I belonged, and which I feel are very adequate and sensible.
Basic Craft Etiquette
* As consecrated objects easily absorb energy, do not touch such items without the
owner’s permission, such as ritual tools, jewellery, etc.
* A ritual bath (or shower) should be taken before entering a Circle/ritual. That is,
bathe with intent to purify.
* A Circle/ritual is a religious rite, therefore participants should conduct themselves in
a respectful manner.
* The High Priestess of the Circle has ultimate authority and may have disrespectful or
disruptive participants removed.
* Please do not enter a Circle if drunk, stoned, or if you are carrying strong
‘negative’ emotions such as anger, fear, cynicism, jealousy or resentment. If
you are feeling distressed or aggravated even after a ritual bathing, let the High
Priestess or High Priest know before entering the Circle - maybe they can help.
* After the Circle is cast, be aware of its boundaries and remain within until the ritual
is over. ‘Breaking’ the Circle may disrupt the whole Working.
* A Circle is for genuine participants only, not observers.
* Once the rite begins, focus your attention & energy on the ceremony so that the full
benefits of the Working can be achieved through full concentration of all participants.
Taking a ritual seriously doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyable and fun. There is a
time for relaxing and socialising after the wine and cakes.
* Shoes and watches should be removed before entering the Circle.
