Ritual for the Opening of the Circle of Power

1.- Physical cleaning of the space: In the chosen place to open the power circle, we must
clean it meticulously.

2.- Purification: Place a cup or glass of water on the floor, kneel before it, and put your finger
index of the dominant hand in the water. Visualize and feel how all our energy flows out of
our body through this finger and is transferred to the water, observe a slight shine in the water.

3.- Opening of the circle, with the athame1in our hands, from the cardinal point East to East
in a left-handed direction (counterclockwise):

With the athame while cutting the air from East to East, it is said:

On this night, by my will and that of the God and the Goddess,
All spell, circle of power, to be my sacred place
beyond time and space, of men and spirits.
I summon you to be the protector
and protect me from the power that I will form within
until I decide to release it.

That is why I bless you and consecrate you.

4.- Invocation to the center of the altar:

Tap the center of the altar with the athame and say:

This is a time that is not time

and a place that is not a place.
I stand at the threshold of two worlds,
before the veil of night.

May the ancients protect me

and guide me in my magical ritual of this night.

5.- Light the candle of presence2

energy of the sorcerer, whether when drawing the circle of power or when performing a spell. Also

those who have not discovered their deepest secrets.

and you will dance, sing, celebrate, play, and love in my honor.

Since the ecstasy of the spirit is mine,

and mine also the joy on earth
and my law is love for all beings.

On earth I teach the eternity of the spirit
and beyond death,
 I teach peace and bring loved ones together.
