B2. Circle of Protection (stage two)


To enhance your circle, you can ask the God and Goddess to come and fill the circle with their presence.

 

Follow steps 1 to 6 of the basic method
7. See the circle fill with the light of truth and purity.

8. Ask that the God and Goddess come into the circle, fill it with the light of the divine and protect all those within from harm.

 

Many people will often call the Goddess and God forces separately and light a candle for each as they ask them for help. If you choose to set more than one circle when casting you do not repeatedly call the Goddess and God after each circle is laid. For example, if you wish to use the number three then rotate or walk the circle three times and then call the God and Goddess.


When closing this circle, thank the Goddess and God for joining your circle, lending their strength and energy, let them know that they are always welcome and that you are very grateful for their assistance. Take the circle down as normal.

B3. Holy Water

Holy Water is consecrated and blessed water. Negative forces can not tolerate blessed water. Anyone who believes in any Deity can create holy water. The ingredients are simple: water and salt. It is customary to use pure water (rain, spring, artesian well) although distilled water and tap water will do. (Actually, I have used all three and all three work equally well.) It is also customary to use sea salt since it is natural but regular table salt will also work. (Again, I have used both and they work equally well.)


Steps


1) cleanse a vessel to hold the water. (Physically wash it. Hold it in your hands and visualize the vessel glowing with the pure white light of truth, of the universe.)
2) fill the vessel with water. (Visualize the vessel and water glowing with the pure white light of truth, of the universe.)

3) Add some salt to the vessel and water. (A pinch or two. Visualize the vessel and water and salt glowing with the pure white light of truth, of the universe.)

4) Ask that the God and Goddess bless, consecrate, empower this water with their energy. Ask that this water be used only for the workings of Truth and the Light, for the good of all, harming none.

 

There are many variations on creating Holy Water. Some people prefer to only create it under the light of a full moon. Other prefer the light of the new moon. Yet others prefer to do it under the sun. You can say certain phrases, make certain motions with your hands, intone certain sounds, etc. etc. etc. etc. When I make it, I usually will trace a Pentagram with my finger or athame in or on the vessel while I am asking that the Goddess and God bless the water.


As you can see, there are many different things that you can do to make holy water. if given the time, I will even cast full circle (not covered in this document), follow steps 1-3, take the water to each direction and element asking them to bless it, then call on spirit (5th element) and finally call on the Goddess and God to bless it. Also, if it is convenient, I prefer to work during a full moon. Basically, everyone has their own method but the steps listed above are pretty much standard in any recipe that you follow.
