A basic protective circle to keep harmful energies at bay during magical workings.

Intent

To create a circle of protection.

What you need

  • White chalk
  • Rosemary
  • Candle
  • Moon water
  • Sage

Steps

  1. Use the white chalk to draw a circle large enough for you to sit within.
  2. Sprinkle rosemary in a ring around the inside of your chalk circle.
  3. Light the candle and place it in the center of your circle.
  4. Sprinkle moon water in a ring around the candle within your circle.
  5. Burn sage and allow the smoke to fill your circle, visualizing the smoke clearing all negative energies.
  6. Sit in the circle and let the candle burn down, staying with it until the flame is out. Your circle of protection is now in place.

Notes

This spell is best performed under a waxing or full moon and is perfect for providing protection during other spell work.

Burn candles in a stable holder and never leave a flame unattended.
