Magical Circles 6 week Zoom series With Joe Futerman

The magician stands master of all that they survey between themselves and the edge of their circle. And it is the circle that makes that mastery possible. It is the most basic and most necessary of magical tools. In fact, a clear, well-cast circle is perhaps the only magical tool that magician cannot do without. Yet it is often assumed that students of magic have a full and complete control of this process and device, and little or nothing is said about it in many of the magical texts or programs of study. This leaves student’s magical work to – at best – simply dissipate, and at worst it opens them to invasion and possession by the very spirits that they are working with. This 6 week series will solve that problem by teaching students not only the theory but also the practice of creating fully empowered and useful magical circles for any magical working. Topics covered will start with simple circles of cleansing, containment, and empowerment all the way up to and including the grimoiric “Circle of Art” that ancient mages used to control spirits they have conjured to do their will.
