Casting | The Basic Outline

• When starting out with my kids on the journey of casting we began with an outline.  I wrote them down, much like when teaching them sentence structure.  We are currently working on each part so I'm confident they truly understand each part.

  Casting | The Basic Outline

  

  
  When writing a ritual for your self there are some basic things you will want to do...

  
  Cleanse the area and cast the circle
  
  Call the elements to your ritual space
  
  Invoke the gods and goddess! (you can invite the ancestors to join as well)
  
  Meditation
   

  Magical working
  
  Cakes an ale
  
  Thanking of the gods the goddesses the ancestors and the elements for attending *or being a witness* to your rite..
  
  Releasing of the gods and the goddess
  
  Releasing of the elements
  
  Releasing of the circle...
  
  At this time i usually cleanse the area once more just incase something negative lingered!

  When you are closing a circle your are making a circle of protective energy to protect you while you are in it. what you will want to do is start in the east with air then walk around the circle to the south then west then north and back to east! you can say something as simple as i cast this circle in a time out of time i cast this circle in a realm outside of a realm.. i cast this circle so that all who are in it are protected .. i cast this circle! so mote it be!

  When you are opening a circle you walk in reverse east north west south east ... you can say i ground all energy from this circle into the earth so that it may be purified and be returned to the mother.
