4. Magic Circle
Hello!
This is my first post of the new year. I've realised that I haven't been writing about my practices, only my experiences. So in this entry, I want to talk about the magic circle.
The magic circle is a way of creating a space of positive energy in which to practice. Different people have different views on how it should be done. Most agree however that it should be a personal thing, and you should try and make your own. If you need any ideas on what to include, there are some great YouTube videos to help.
As I am not with a coven and being a young student, my own circle had to be affordable and easy to do on my own. I cast late at night or early in the morning, do it had to be quiet too. I usually have a drink of water before I start and try and clear any negative energy or thoughts. Afterwards, I put my headphones on to either Wiccan chants or a song about something specific I want to focus on. Whilst in a state of meditation you can sort of feel energy inside yourself, if you've found the right circle for you. Again, this only my personal experience, it may be different for everyone.
For me, it is an uplifting feeling of all stress going away. I've been injured recently and am in a lot of pain, but during this ritual I just forget all about it.
