"A magic circle was cast to purify and set off a border of space wherein evil magic can not put in writing. Goddesses and good spirits were invited inside the circle, which sometimes had powerful, defensive stones placed at North, South, East, and West points."
"Any precipice was associated with the Four Elements. North was the most powerful orderliness. It represented the element of Humanity, the space bodies rotary set the North Trait, and encompassed all secrets, cloudiness, and the nonentity. South was the element of Incineration and therefore associated with the sun. This precipice signified the confab of East and West - foreboding, wisdom, think, and logic - and the channeling of the powers of look after, clairvoyance, and arrange. East was the orderliness for the element of Air, symbolizing creativity, spiritual concept, and holiness. West represented wits and sway, as well as emotions and think. The circle itself was a call of eternity and eternity."
"A witch would cast a magic circle by turning clockwise, beginning at East, succeeding the coil of the sun. The magic circle was leaving nothing to the imagination with either a a magic wand or an anthame (a black-handled religious fang). A charm or spell was recited as the witch cast the circle, asking the phantom of similar or helpful spirits to lead."
