The information here is composed form the Book Wicca From Birth to Death. I could include a lot of spells in this section, but we believe that after the initaitions is when the magick really starts. We do request you fill out the application to join our coven found in this site "Join Us", and to read the books suggested.

Casting The Sacred Circle
From the East draw the circle (from your cord) moving clockwise/deosil.
Now stand in front of the alter with all the tools on it place candles in the 4 directions. Ring a bell 3 times and with your athame in hand kiss the blade, and hold it high saying;
Hail, Lord and Lady, Here I do build a temple of life in which to honor you. Assist me as I lay down the foundation stones of which I will build my cone of power.
Lower the athame and walk over to the East, and point to the ground, direct all engines from your heart slowly walk around the circle connecting the circle raise the athame. Design the pentagram in the air to seal the it, kiss the blade, return to alter. Walk over to the East Candle saying:
Here is light at the East where the life-giving saun rises each day. Here is erected the Watchtower of air, standing guard over this temple of the gods.
Move to the West, lighting the candle saying:
Here is light at the West, where waters move gently to give the moisture of life to the Earth. Here is erected the watchtower of Water, standing gaurd over this temple of the gods.
Move to the North, light the candle saying;
Here is a light ath the North, where the Earth forms a solid foundations for all life. Here is erected the Watchtower of Earth, standing gaurd over this temple of the gods.
Return to the alter, light the candle saying;
Here is light I bring into the temple. Let it light the way through the darkness of ignorance to the world of knowledge. Light to life, in all things.
Blow out the taper candle, take the athame and dip the tip into salt water saying:
Salt is life. Let this salt be pure and let it purify my life, as I use it in this rite dedicated to the God and Goddess in whom I believe.
Take 3 pinchs of salt and drop them into the water. Take the athame and dip the tip into the salt water and say:
Let the sacred salt drive out any impurities in this water, that together they may be used in the service of these deities, throughout these rites and at any atime and in any way I may use them.
Mix the water with the athame deosil (clockwise) around 3 times. Put the athame on the alter, and pick up the water. Go to the East, raise the dish eye level saying:
I use this sacred liquid now in the building of this, my sacred temple. I dedicate it to the gods, in love and light.
Lower the dish, walking deosil dip your finger in the water and sprinkle it along the circle lines, raise the dish at the East point. Place it back onto the alter and pick up the censor.
The fire of this censor, with the fragances of its smoke, serves to cement the foundations of this our temple, dedicated to the Lord and Lady.
Lower the censor and walk the circle. Replace on the table. and pick up the athame in salute saying:
Lord and Lady, God and Goddess, I invite you to enter this temple I have constructed to venerate you. Be with me here and witnaess these rites held in your honor. So Mote It Be!
