Exercises for Your Pentacle

Exercise One: Symbol Formation

(this exercise is adapted from The Craft by Dorothy Morrison)

Gather together a candle, your chalice, your athame and your pentacle. Light the candle and turn off the lights. Visualize your cup filled with pure white fluid light. It may help the first couple of times to actually fill the cup with water. Dip the tip of the athame into the fluid. Using the athame as a writing tool, draw the pentagram on the pentacle. Visualize the glowing lines of the star. As the lines dim, dip the athame back into the cup and draw the shape again.

The goal is to have the shape remain without need of repainting. When you are done, erase the shield by passing your hand over the pentacle. Repeat this exercise nightly for one week. Journal your progress and share along this thread.

Exercise Two: Word Formation

(this exercise is adapted from The Craft by Dorothy Morrison)

Repeat exercise one but instead of drawing a pentagram, write a word. Start with only one word. When it remains on the pentacle without having to repaint, add another word. Use words that resonate with you such as Goddess, Faith, Believe or any other inspirational words. The goal is to have the words remain without need of repainting Erase with your hand when finished. Repeat this exercise nightly for one week. Journal your progress and share along this thread.
