Formal Circle Casting

by Lady Bridget, copyright 3/2002


This casting is suitable for "formal circles" - in other words, community Sabbats, Handfastings, or other Rituals where the circle casting is public. Certain traditions do not allow for their words to be used in public, and so although this is rather long and formal, it is useful for many occasions.


I cast this circle with Will around
To be the boundary underground
To form a space between the spaces
Time out of time, reaching all places
To hold our magickal energy so
Until we decide to let it go
I cast this circle with Will around
To be the boundary underground

I cast this circle with earth and tide
To be the boundary on our side
Joining the boundary below
As our circle begins to grow
To form a space between the spaces
Time out of time, reaching all places
To hold our magickal energy so
Until we decide to let it go
I cast this circle with earth and tide
To be the boundary on our side.

I cast this circle with flame and breeze
Now overhead will be complete
Joining side and ground below
As our circle energies flow
To form a space between the spaces
Time out of time, reaching all places
To hold our magickal energy so
Until we decide to let it go
I cast this circle with flame and breeze
And now our circle is complete
So mote it be
