Casting and Uncasting a Simple Circle.............If you have one, set your altar in the center of a clean area. If not, simply sit/kneel/stand on the floor in the center of a cleared area.
Casting the Circle
Light one white candle. Envision a circle of white light around you (and your altar).
Face North and say:
Hail to the guardians of the North, mighty earth who feeds us, our home and mother, welcome to the circle.
Next, face East and say:
Hail to the guardians of the East, blessed air who cools us, the breath of life in all, welcome to the circle.
Next, face the South and say:
Hail to the guardians of the South, sacred flame that sparks life in all, our protection and father, welcome to the circle.
Finally, face the West and say:
Hail to the guardians of the West, Waters of life, where all are cleansed and reborn, welcome to the circle.
Proceed with your ritual.
Closing the Circle
At the end do the following:
Face the West and say:
Hail to the guardians of the West, thank you for attending this circle. Go in peace and know you are always welcome here.
Face the South and say:
Hail to the guardians of the South, thank you for attending this circle. Go in peace and know you are always welcome here.
Face the East and say:
Hail to the guardians of the East, thank you for attending this circle. Go in peace and know you are always welcome here.
Face the North and say:
Hail to the guardians of the North, thank you for attending this circle. Go in peace and know you are always welcome here.
The circle is now broken and your spellwork complete. At this time, snuff your candles and do any parts of the spell that require you to leave the circle (burying an item, scattering the ashes etc.)

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
