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

My dedicated temple does not at this time have a physically painted circle inscribed in any manner.

Not to mean I am opposed to this artistic license.

I have seen photographs of a building which Gardner used, which not only had a circled painted on the floor, but astrological signs painted in a circle around the upper part of the all.

I have on occasion considered that idea. I like astrological signs, they could be quite lovely and visually inspiring.

I think a lot depends on the constraints of privacy. If one paints something permanent on the floor or walls, and then the house must be sold at some point. I love my tree of life I painted on the wall, it has been a lovely meditation tool, but what if I needed to move. It would not be easily painted over.

Very cool. I would love to see some pics of a set up with drawn/painted/whatever circles. I will have to scour google and see if I can find anything.
