Going a day without coffee is like a druid going a day without spending time with the trees.

The magick circle

The magick circle is a very basic and important element in preforming rituals and spells. I find that many do not know how to properley cast a magick circle and end up putting themselves in harms way. The magick circle protects one from evil or unwanted entities that may try to enter our world.

How to cast a magick circle:

1. Pick up a wand or use you’re finger if you dont have a wand.

2. Point north with you’re wand or finger.

3. Imagine a blue or white light eminating from you’re wand or finger.

4. While Turning clockwise draw the circle after you return to the north point stop and place you’re wand where you please.

5.when youre finished pick you’re wand up once agian and point north, turn counter clockwise and “erase” the circle if you will and after returning to the north point place the wand/finger as you please.

Happy casting!

Cernunnos by Milek Jakubiec.

Cernunnos is the conventional name given in Celtic studies to depictions of the “horned god” of Celtic polytheism. Cernunnos was a Celtic god of fertility, life, animals, wealth, and the underworld. The name itself is only attested once, on the 1st-century Pillar of the Boatmen, but he appears all over Gaul, and among the Celtiberians. Cernunnos is depicted with the antlers of a stag, sometimes carries a purse filled with coin, often seated cross-legged and often associated with animals and holding or wearing torcs, are known from over 50 examples in the Gallo-Roman period, mostly in north-eastern Gaul.

Each ruler has a quarter of the magic circle. Paralda governs air in the east Oversees the sylphs, zephyrs and nature spirits. Color: pure yellow Djin governs fire in the south oversees the salamanders, firedrakes and the little ones of the sunbeams. Color: pure red Niksa governs water in the west Oversees the nymphs, undines, mer people and the little ones of the springs, lakes, ponds and rivers Color: pure blue Ghob or ghom governs earth in the north. Oversees gnomes, dwarfs and the little ones of the moonbeams. Color: clear dark green. Nyu or the fifth element dominates the center of the circle balancing all other elements. (This information was taken out of Celtic magic by D. J Conway) Please note that not every druid or every celtic pagan will think of the elements as being governed by a being.
