[LogicallyBound]

In this video, I see that you use lanterns to mark the circle border. Would I be able to use to mark out the circle alongside the candles for the elements?

[TigressPhoenix]

Lovely video. Thank you for sharing this aspect of your faith with us. Blessed be )O(

[Serial13Lain]

Ohhh what a pretty backyard!

[DeathMind4]

i notice that she walks clockwise, but if it's ok to start at anti-clockwise first?

[DakWarrior1]

@DeathMind4 no you never start counter-clockwise when casting the Circle. counter clock wise is only used when releasing the circle. Blessed Be, hope your path is bright.

[Amethyst2Z]

@DakWarrior1 Actually DeathMind4, in Australia, many covens start counter clockwise becasue down here the sun goes in a different direction.

I am very new but growing fond of Wicca and am curious to know the purpose of the knife, and why you held it outwards of the circle as you walked to circle boundaries. Thank you Amethyst(:

[zoeyjusko]

You have a beautiful set up there in your back yard. I love the tile circle. Thank you so much for showing us how this is done. It's really a beautiful and meaningful ritual. It brings me peace just watching. How about little wind chimes for the air quarter? Not too noisy of course. Thanks for all your videos.

[bchgngr21]

dose the circle have to be a cirtian size? and must you cast it 3 times. I have only read about how to do this.

[HisMajestyJoshua]

So you choose to walk in a clock-wise circle so you can open the circle to bring cosmic energy down into the group? This is for a ceremony to illuminate the particioners? Have you ever used casting a counter-clockwise circle?.... I know, I often test boundries, but have found profound results in doing so and would just like to inspire thought into the potentials of couter-clockwise circle casting and your feeling towards it....

[Lok783]

I am curious if you were to create the fire yourself instead of with matches or a lighter would this not infusea great deal of energy into the circle rather then doing it the easy way and please the spirits and gods that you did it natually?

[Lok783]

So anyway back to circle casting, Shiva has a statue made of him I keep onmy alter, many aspectsof the shiva natarage have same meanings as the pentagram, like the flaming circle is symbolic of consciousness.

However even still cast a circle anyway.

[Lok783]

My Wiccan beliefs are a little odd, My patron's are Shiva and Shakti, Shiva the Shakti together create the living universe a being in it's own right an offspring of the gods, and we are the Universe's offspring therefore we havev a legacy connection to the universe and the gods.

It's a twist on universal consciousness, I believe nature is the vessel of the spirit, if we do not pass into another plane or universe or back to this one, we reincarnate back into nature until we are ready.

[Cheree1982]

This is a beautiful circle casting and I must say that is a beautiful ritual area! Thanks for posting!

[FlipTheDish]

I love how you use a brazer inside of the circle :)

[DarlingKerosene]

this is a lovely circle casting. i may use some of your ritual steps and include them in my next group casting. your word choice is mesmerizing and perfect for reaching a meditative state of mind.

[Amethyst2Z]

@DarlingKerosene Please remember the other two videos that follow this one as then you'll have the full ritual )

[snakeyesgirl]

wow. great videos! is your name really amethyst? if so, u have a really awesome name!

[TheMisterMooMan]

thank you for clearing this up for me i have never cast a group circle before.

blessed be )O(

[CrystalPelayo]

marvelous eyes..

[bramblehead34]

i love how you kiss the objects before you use them.

[Erennin]

shoudlnt the Altar be inside the circle?

[Amethyst2Z]

@Erennin When we cast the circle, we cast it around the alatr and indeed cast a wider circle than the paving area so that the altar and the gardens are also wihtin the cast and sacred circle space. :)

[samirijojo]

@Erennin you can have one outside or inside.

[77mikonen]

Wonderful instruction, thank you!  Blessed be! :)

[GemRiot]

pls help me ..

[Amethyst2Z]

@GemRiot Please help you what? :)

[southernmandave666]

All I can hear is someone breathing really heavy in the cam

[Amethyst2Z]

@southernmandave666 Hi, I just checked the sound and it's all there and others are able to hear it. May I suggest you check your volume controls?

Many smiles,

Amethyst

[goldenscales]

Please define "Inclusive Wicca" for me. Does that mean Solitary, but others can participate, or "Just Me, Myself, and I"?

[Amethyst2Z]

@goldenscales Inclusive Wicca is just the name of our tradition. We have solitaries and covens following this tradition.

Many smiles, Amethyst

[goldenscales]

@Amethyst2Z Thanks for that! Goddess bless!

[JeremyPagan94]

I use elemental candles too! I love your circle. Blessed be :)

[TheUniversalChild]

i like the outside Theme being closer to nature (: i would perfer however to have a altar more mobile like east for attraction west for banishments.. but had some good ideas and enjoyed the videos

many thanks

[Amethyst2Z]

@powerranger1085 @powerranger1085 Thank you for your comments re the noise. In fact I live beside a park and the birds yell all day long. The birds didn't yell more during the elemental calling, I just raised the audio of the video so you could hear me speaking. :)

[powerranger1085]

wish to be of assistance so that you and others who do not know all that there is to Wicca don't get hurt. sincerely yours Lord Julian

[powerranger1085]

that is is case as i wouldn't want to hear about another incident which happened in the states where a coven summoned the fire spirits wrong and their place for their workings burnt flat. however i greatly appreciate you efforts to pas son the knowledge to a younger generation who need the information brought to them through a media they understand such as youtube. it is a profound thing for you to have done! i sincerly hope that any information i have given you dosent offend you, i merely

[powerranger1085]

so though your methods are absolutely sound, i do wish point out that every time you reach for you're alter it is outside the circle and thus not blessed by the circle, also by leaning through the circle you are breaking the circle. once the circle is cast or being cast not may leave or enter without first creating a doorway with an athame (pronounced ath -ah-may). when the circle is broken it no longer exists, i become a figment of raw power which dissipates and disappears.

[Amethyst2Z]

@powerranger1085 Thanks for a great post. In fact, when I teach how to cast, I teach people to cast the circle around and outside the circle so that it is included inside the circle space. I didn't mention that in this video but that is included in the text which acompanies this video for my students. A good point though powerranger, thank you.

[SpydersCraft]

thanx for this :D Blessed Be

[marrydruli]
