CASTING THE CIRCLE  TWO

   Set up :place a candle in each of the four cardinal directions. 
Facing North, draw the Circle with the sword or athame. While drawing the Circle, visualize the power flowing into the Circle from off the end of the sword. Draw the Circle in a East to North or clockwise direction. Say:

	"Black spirits and white,
	Red spirits and grey,
	Harken to the rune I say.
	Four points of the Circle, weave the spell,
	East, South, West, North, your tale tell.
	East is for break of day,
	South is white for the noontide hour,
	In the West is twilight grey,
	And North is black, for the place of power.
	Three times round the Circle's cast.
	Great ones, spirits from the past,
	Witness it and guard it fast."
