If you like this video I have an online class coming up on Circle Casting! goldenwebmysteryschool.com/workshop-class-e Sun. May 7, 2023. 10:30 - 12:30. $10 - $30 sliding scale. Preregistration necessary.

This video is a deep dive into the magical underpinnings of casting a circle. What is a circle? Do you need one? What types of magic don't necessarily need a circle? How do you create a magical circle of protection? A circle is often considered one of the foundational tools of some types of witchcraft. But we don't often go into describing what it is or how it works.
I moved my Equity and Reproductive Rights Links that I had up last week to the "about" section of my webpage and will keep them up.

  • I have to say, it's nice to see an older witch on YouTube. I like and follow the kids, but still it's weird to see a 24 year old girl talking about Crone energy.

    Great video. It is good to see a mature witch giving succinct instructions. My background is ceremonial majick and the purpose of my circle is to keep invoked spirits outside and to never exit a circle during a working. I am fortunate to be able to have permanent consecrated circles that can be opened and closed. I have dedicated circles drawn on white cloth large enough for me and maybe one other participant. I agree that for most personal meditations or offerings a circle is not necessary. But if one summons a spirit, be inside a circle for your own protection. Blessings.

    Casting a circle for myself is essential when I am working within a coven or solitary, it also adds a degree of protection.
  • I am appreciative of your work on this channel. Thank you. I'm a 45 year old man husband and father of 3 magnificent children. I'm not a chef..nor a commercial cook however I can walk into a kitchen and weave wonders. A little from my mother however mainly instinctual. I was born into some horrific, angry violent trauma and I have to be mindful of my tendency to steer towards dark magic. I have been apart of covens in the past, and I really do enjoy circle's with others (as long as they are not to big). I have found though these days...no one wants a 45 y/o white man apart of their coven so I tend to cast circles and spells on my own. I love your reinforcement of making each ritual your own. Herbs and trees call to me... Blessed be
  • I literally just found your wonderful channel and so glad I did because I love the way you describe and explain the topic you are talking about. It just took one video for me to happily subscribe my lady. Blessed Be 🌒🌕🌘
  • @angelabrown8458
    This is the video I’ve been looking for, actual experience instead of read out of a book, however much I love a good book they’re not everything.📖 This is the first video of yours I’ve come across and it took me all of 7 minutes to subscribe so thank you. 🙏 😊
  • @Tiffers963Hz

    I sprinkle grits about 3 days prior over a large area and ant hills etc in my woods so when we are barefoot, we are not bitten, I then use a generous amount of salt for the circle .... keeps the bugs away ... we use brooms counter- clockwise also. I live in mountains with a river downstream, so no mosquitos. I've never had anyone need to go potty during circle. Very focused.
  • @Smaug185
    I cast circle for rituals or magic. I dont for my morning altar routine or tarot readings. but I always ask for blessings.
  • I am so glad to have discovered your channel! This was very insightful, and inspiring for me! Thank you so much!
  • 0:51 I cast a circle pretty much most of the time. It enhances my intention. It is my private moment ❤
  • @eveywrens
    I found you through the 12 days of Yule. Enjoyed your perspective that hasn't been shared by other witchy YouTube creators. One is recognizing the magic inside of yourself. The other is mentioning the mystery which doesn't seem to be mentioned on other channels I watch. Blessings ✨️
  • @pbunniee3
    Just found this channel. I really appreciate your explanations, thank you! Just wanted to say you have such a beautiful spirit ❤
  • @JK-jl1bf
    I cast a circle of protection to ward off evil spirits and ill intentions of others, also a call to invite my guardians to guide me in my working and through out the ritual and the manifestation of what I desire. Daily affirmations and a quick circle in the morning helps to start my day. I consider the ritual a jumping off point into more serious practice and this signals to higher faculties to be more engaged and vigilant.
  • Thank you for this. I have had a hard time finding information on casting a circle in a small space or casting a circle from the inside, or does it have to be from the outside. So many people make it seem more complicated than it needs to be.
  • @ranakoko-jk5hm
    the angelic white energy in your hands says it all 😇
  • @m.pixley8413
    The circle allows for very clarified magic. The spirits gods and goddesses like when I cast a circle and do a full ceremony
  • @Cat-uk4do
    I just found you 💜 thank you for your amazing advice. Blessed be 💜💜💜
