The circle is a sacred place in which magic is worked, where Wiccans can meet with the god and goddess.
The word circle, may be misleading though. It is actually a sphere made of energy that encompasses all the
participants and the altar. The magic circle defines the ritual area, holds in personal power and shuts out all
distractions and negative energies. You can use objects on the ground to show the boundaries of the circle,
such as stones, flowers, branches and candles, or crystals. It is formed of personal energy which is visualized
as streaming from the body to form what looks like a bubble made of mist. Some Wiccans use tools such as
the Athame, to direct this power, some use their hands.
Once the energy is flowing through your fingertips or chosen tool, walk the circle three times
clockwise, envisioning the mist, or light or energy, whatever, trailing outward from you to form the sphere.
When the circle is complete, shut off the energy flow by shaking your hand or pulling it back into your tool..
Once the circle is cast, you are ready to perform your ritual, or magic.
The Moon continually moves through the Zodiac, and each sign has its own significance:
Aries - Good for starting things, but lacks staying power. Things occur rapidly, but quickly pass.
Taurus - Things begun now last the longest, tend to increase in value, and become hard to alter.
Gemini -Things begun now are easily changed by outside influence.
Cancer - Pinpoints need, supports growth and nurturance.
Leo - Showmanship, favors being seen, drama, recreation and happy pursuits.
Virgo - Favors a complishment of details and commands.
Libra - Increases self-awareness, favors self-examination and interaction with others.
Scorpio - Increases awareness of psychic power. Ends connections.
Sagittarius - Encourages flights of imagination and confidence.
Capricorn - Increases awareness of the need for structure, discipline.
Aquarius - Favors activities that are unique and individualistic.
Pisces - Energy withdraws from the surface of life, hibernates within, secretly reorganizing and realigning.

CREATE YOUR OWN MOON SPELLS
Because of the very nature of Magick, each working should be highly individualized and personal.
Even if following a traditional spell, it should be tailored to your specific needs to be most effective for you.
Understanding the basics of Spell Construction will enable you to formulate your own specific,
effective spells for any purpose you desire. Preliminary planning is necessary.
The very first step is to decide precisely what your desired end result is to be.
Before you can start, you must decide where you are going. You must be very explicit.
It is important, also, that you choose your time carefully. You should take into consideration
all Astrological implications, energy currents and Moon phases. The Moon is the astronomical
body closest to us and, therefore, has a profound influence upon us, it is very important to
choose a time when the Moon is in an astrological sign which is appropriate for your working.
For example: Aries/Action - Enthusiasm, Taurus/ Renewal - Sensuality,
Gemini communication - Curiosity, Cancer/ Emotion - Nurturing,
Leo/Vitality - Determined, Virgo organizing - Studious,
Libra/Balance -Cooperation,
Scorpio/Sexual - Philosophical,
Capricorn/Authority - Ambitious,
Aquarius/Innovation - Social, Pisces/Sensitivity - Idealistic.
Bear in mind that magickal workings for gain, increase or bringing things to you,
should be initiated when the Moon is Waxing (from Dark to Full); when the Moon is
Waning (from Full to Dark), it is time for magical workings of decrease or sending away.
The highest energy occurs at the Full Moon and, therefore, this is the most powerful time
for magical workings. The New Moon is the next most powerful time for Magick.
