the circle now cast thrice about

❝ Milk and shadow, bane and brew

Court our hallows, two by two.

Enter thus, encircled here,

Do so free of hate and fear.

For in this circle, none shall pause

With doubt and so disrupt our cause,

Or otherwise make ill at ease

Those who try to others please.

Let no one in who dare defy

The laws that we have casted by.

Those who journey in, they must

In perfect love and perfect trust.

Silence is the witch’s key

To let their deep desires be.

So silence of the circle keep

Outside its walls, for others seek

To cast their doubt upon us all.

And offer only aid, or fall

To laws wrote by the circle’s pow’r

Cast upon this witching hour.

The circle now cast thrice about

Shall keep all harmful power out.

The circle now cast three by three

Protect within: so mote it be ❞
