Drawing the Circle

[pt_tangles]

I've been reading some stuff that elfwreck  has collected over the years and sent to me. I know that a lot of it is of questionable origin (much of the Crystal Wind stuff is possibly plagiarized), but I have been noticing references to 'drawing' a circle or visually laying a circle. I have read this in a couple of other places, but for some reason I had it in my head that since the border of the circle was energetic, it didn't require drawing. If you were doing it right, you would know where the edge was.

Does anyone lay out or draw a circle out visually? For those with altar rooms, do you have one painted on the floor? My mind is spinning the with possibilities for drawing a circle in an altar room. Tiles or paint or stain ... I am in artist mode, and I don't have anywhere to draw a floor circle! lol

A former working partner of a former covenmate of had a beautiful circle of thorn-braid enameled and branded into the hardwood floor of his working room/library. It was beautiful artistry, and well-sized/placed in the room and none of the non-Witches questioned that it was more than a beautiful decoration.

I'm wanting to one day replicate a painted/stitched circle (with other stuff) on a large sailcloth rug similar to what another former covenmate had. Heavy enough to lay easy, but also easy to roll up and stash.

Visual circles are not *necessary*, but sometimes they can be useful, and sometimes they can be a tool in and of themselves.

That sounds gorgeous! I am definitely leaning towards a tile or inlaid floor design when I own my own place. I just love decorative flooring, and I have some great ideas for a circle design.

I may have to make some sketches while I am still feeling creative, and before I forget ;)
