(One Person’s View Point) Cast the Circle

If you are just working on your own, meditating or doing a simple candle spell I don’t believe casting a circle is always necessary.  If you regularly smudge and protect your house and have your own shielding in place I wouldn’t bother, but the choice is yours.  If you are going to be raising energy, especially if there is a group of you then I would recommend casting a circle.  If you are gathered together to celebrate a Sabbat especially then it’s nice to ‘put on the full works’ too.  Casting a circle puts up a protective barrier around you, it not only keeps out any unwanted negative energy but it also keeps the energy you are raising safely inside the circle until you release it.  Casting a circle does however create a place ‘between the worlds’ it is grounded in the physical but also gives you a connection to the spiritual.  It can also be a very safe, secure place especially if you need a bit of a spiritual hug, casting a circle and just ‘being’ inside it can be very uplifting.

Some witches will invoke the elements before casting the circle, others will cast the circle first it’s another one of those personal choice things.

Two words you will often hear when people refer to rituals the first is deosil which means clockwise or sun wise and then widdershins which means anti clockwise.  Basic rule of thumb is when you want to bring good energy or protection in you go deosil (clockwise) then when you want to dismiss something or banish negative energies you work widdershins (anticlockwise).  The circle is cast deosil and the quarters are called deosil, always move around the circle in a deosil motion.  The circle and quarters are thens usually released widdershins.

To cast a circle you can use an athame, a sword, a wand, a staff or… Click here to read the rest of this article Source: collectiveinkbooks.com

(One Person’s View) How to Cast a Circle and Why You Want To

Casting a circle is a foundational, powerful practice when it comes to ritual. It creates an energetic and psychic container – a safe, protected space – for magic and healing to take place. When you cast a circle, you are said to be in a space between worlds – void space, magic space, spiral space beyond linear time.

Why would you want to cast a circle? Casting a circle has many purposes. Keep scrolling to read and watch more.

CREATE INTENTIONAL SPACE

Part of casting a circle is about mindset. It allows us to shift out of the mundane world and into the sacred. As you get used to casting a circle, it will start to signal to your body and brain that you’re entering into a ritual space, and your energy will likely begin to shift automatically.

HOW TO CAST A CIRCLE

There are so many ways to cast a circle. It’s my belief that magical practice is always more powerful when it’s intuitive, so take what you’d like from what I share below and let your intuition guide you to the unique method that’s right for you.

However you choose to cast your circle, you’ll work with visualization and the four directions (which are associated with the four elements). Here is an example of how to cast a circle:

Center yourself with a few deep, grounding breaths.

Let your eyes close and start to call on the elements.

Starting in the East, with the element of Air, speak aloud to invite the energy of Air, of breath, of voice, of mind, to hold the circle.

Then turn your focus to the South, the element of Fire, and speak aloud to invite the energy of Fire, of transformation, of passion, of the sun, to hold the circle.

Turn your focus again to the West, the element of Water, and speak aloud to invite the energy of Water, of feeling, of surrender, of the ocean, to hold the circle with you.

Lastly, turn your focus to the North, to the element of Earth, and speak aloud to invite the energy of Earth, of holding, of soil, of forests, to hold the circle.

Feel the shift in your body and your space as the circle forms. Visualize a golden circle of light around you, supported by the powerful energy of each of the elements, holding a sacred and safe container for you.

When you feel ready, say out loud: “The circle is now cast.”

I hope this supports you in casting circles of your own.

May 23, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 24th, 2025 is the Waning Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 26.63 days old and 12.34% illuminated with a tilt of -65.899°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 361,908.11 km and the moon sign is Aries.

The Moon phase for May 24th, 2025 is a Waning Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon is less than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 0% illumination (which would be a New Moon).

In this part of the moon cycle, it is getting closer and closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing earth with a decreasingly thin crescent being illuminated.

The waning (shrinking) crescement Moon will rise at around midnight, transit the meridian after sunrise, before setting after noon. This phase is best viewed 1-2 hours before sunrise and is a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the illuminated crescent you can see the craters and mountains of the moon casting long shadows.

The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.

Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.

Fun fact: the illuminated side of a waning crescent moon is always pointed eastwards, towards the sunrise.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on May 24 has an illumination of 9%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On May 24 the Moon is 26.73 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

You benefit from great eloquence and from a young age you seem to use this in your favour, especially to get you out of complicated situations. Get ready to better understand your horoscope personality below.

 The zodiac sign for May 23 is Gemini.

 Astrological symbol: Twins. This symbol suggests empathic and warm natured individuals. It is characteristic for people born between May 21 and June 20 under the Gemini zodiac sign.

 The Gemini Constellation visible between +90° to -60° is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac. Its brightest star is Pollux while it covers an area of 514 sq degrees. It is placed between Taurus to the West and Cancer to the East.

 The French name it Gémeaux while the Greeks prefer their own Dioscuri, however the origin of the May 23 zodiac sign, the Twins, is the Latin Gemini.

 Opposite sign: Sagittarius. This is the sign directly across the zodiac circle from the Gemini zodiac sign. It suggests communication and philosophy and these two are considered to make great partnerships.

 Modality: Mobile. This quality suggests the expansive nature of those born on May 23 and their determination and purity in most life regards.

 Ruling house: The third house. This house rules over human interactions, all communications and travel. As situated in this house, Gemini love to talk, meet new people and broaden their universe. And of course, they never say no to the opportunity to go and discover a new place.

 Ruling body: Mercury. This celestial body is said to influence solidification and directness. It is also relevant from the tidiness perspective. Mercury is consistent with Hermes from Greek mythology.

 Element: Air. This element suggests the experience of life through many different aspects and a sense of flexibility throughout for those born on May 23. When associated with the other three elements, it either heats, evaporates or suffocates them.

 Lucky day: Wednesday. This is a day ruled by Mercury, therefore deals with versatility and exchange. It suggests the communicative nature of Gemini natives.

 Lucky numbers: 1, 4, 16, 18, 26.

 Motto: “I think!”

 People born on May 23 are flexible, charming and have a humorous nature. They are keen to discover the world we live in and learn new things but they most dread being caught in a routine so they can only satisfy their thirst of knowledge trough adventure and travel. They also hate being lonely so they crave for social settings in which they can state their opinions and showcase their beliefs. They are dependable to those close but it does take time to create such a relationship with them.

 Positive Traits: These natives have a youthful behavior and are on the go all the time. They are versatile and ingenious and are not afraid to show how they feel. They take everyone’s steps as they are and always search for new adventures. They seem to speak their mind often and interact with people they’ve just met as if they’ve known them forever.

 Negative Traits: Learning to focus and not be so easily distracted, even by the smallest thing, is one thing Gemini needs to do. Those born on this day are inconsistent, both with their work and human interrelations. They are resentful up to the point they become malicious and when they feel like someone has done or said something wrong. They are sometimes likely to lose temper especially because of their proverbial selfishness and their belief that they need to get only the best things. They tend to start more projects they can manage and when they get caught up their solution is to abandon them one at a time.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 23 are extremely attractive and versatile. They like to discover new persons and they seem to center all their life on a person but then suddenly they get bored and slip away. They are attracted to lively and imaginative persons who can keep up with their lifestyle. You can conquer the heart of Gemini if you know how to reveal your personality step by step so you always keep them guessing and wanting more. You also need to come to an understanding with their love of freedom and eccentricities.

 Attractive and charming it is very difficult for someone to win their heart if they don’t show the slightest interest. They don’t settle for less than what they consider it’s best for them. And they are a pretentious lover that is sometimes prone to controlling behavior and jealousy fits. Freedom lover, they have an immense love for change and adventure and they will experience many love relationships in their life, that they will consider important. If they settle for one person, they will probably be hard to understand and they will still be governed by selfishness. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 2nd, 8th, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th. May 23 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other air signs: Libra and Aquarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Gemini is constantly seeking for someone that can truly understand their way of expressing their feelings and the best to do this is the native from Sagittarius. Gemini is thought to be least compatible with Taurus. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Gemini, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

You ought to disperse tension and as well make things stronger. At work, you might have to deal with someone else’s workload for a change and although at first this might frustrate you, in the end you will learn more than ever.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Although it is Friday, it seems that for you, things are just starting to take off at work. And thankfully, I am not talking about more workload, but instead of some kind of opportunities.

Or maybe some meetings you have been chasing for a while now are finally happening. Some chances of partnership as well or who knows.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have one last chance to deal with a work matter that you might have postponed the entire week. And you finally need to show just how responsible you can be.

On the other hand, there may also be a situation in which you are counting on someone else so in case you don’t manage to attain the goal, it is not necessarily your fault.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are ready to tackle a very stressful situation at work but it seems that the stars are not really going to let you go through that and you will just get the scare of it.

Also, at home, you might be greeted with some kind of surprise or a nice plan for relaxation tonight. You are feeling special and you should continue to do so no matter what happens.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

An eventful Friday both at work and socially as you seem to go out during the evening. You have a lot of space to handle your own projects and might work more for yourself than for actual work.

The only word of advice in this regard is to be careful not to postpone anything important or any big workload for the following week.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You seem to be needing your own space but you don’t really know how to express that and have no intention to actually verbalize it.

This is why you may be acting a bit erratic this Friday and no one will have an explanation as to why you are behaving like this. I think that you need to first clarify to yourself what you want and need.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This Friday might mark a good starting point for you. A point from which you start making small and assumed decisions and not risk as much as you have recently.

It is also a mature perspective and might help you get some room into your mind to actually think about the consequences of your actions. You are also very prompt in helping others.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You are keen to get your plan covered but you are overlooking some important work force that might be right under your nose.

So instead of stressing out to the amount of work you have to deal with, perhaps you should reconsider working in an extended group. Your partner might also be able to give you a piece of helpful advice, outside of personal matters.
