Good Morning Everyone, Just wondering if when Circle Casting do you have to do that every time you cast a spell, Ritual and or making spell bags or jars and so on I have done some reading on this subject but I have so much going on in my brain I might have missed what to do x Warm Regards Sharon xxx 
I only do it for bigger rituals, or if I feel I need protection. It is really up to you.
Thank you @shari2 for your response I have started to set my Alter up I am brand new lots of things I want to do but I keep telling myself to slow down x Warm Regards Sharon
Thoughtful Thursday Sharon,
In my morning supplications I always cast and close a circle. I have a list/order of what I do.
- I say goodbye to the moon and hello to the sun
- I offer my moon affirmation (depending on the zodiac house the moon is in)
- Elemental Greet (Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Spirit)
- Circle Cast
- Spell/Ritual/Craft workings
- Spell close
- Offering (I just use a simple water pour)
- then solar affirmation for the zodiac house of the sun
My evening supplication is more of a thank-you to the sun as it is going down, and thanking the cosmos for the day…giving specific examples for that day. such as, thank-you for helping me keep my composure today, thank-you for letting me spend quality time with my son today, thank-you for having such pleasant weather today. Just thanking for the day and the blessings I had.
Sometimes, like all of us, I just can’t get to it. At the very least, I will light the candle, the incense and/or just speak my piece out loud.
I hope this helps you out. It is your practice, do what you feel comfortable with.
Lady Gene 
Thank you @leilani1 for your wonderful knowledge is it okay if I cut and paste your list x Warm Regards x Sharon xx
Abso-tute-a-lutely, use it however you are able to! Lady Gene 
Since you are just starting out, it may be a good idea to cast a quick circle before doing spellwork. Just kind of hold your wand, and turn clockwise, visualizing white light surrounding you. Don’t forget to go in reverse after, and release the energy.
Personally, I do it any time I send out a signal to the universe. Because you never know who’s going to hear it and follow the signal back. A boundary is never a bad thing.
But it doesn’t have to be a big thing. I don’t even walk my circle because I’m disabled and I can’t. I sit in the middle of my area and cast it, and imagine it forming a bubble all around me. Sort of like the shields from Star Trek. I give myself plenty of room in my head in case I need to shift in my chair, so I don’t cross the boundary, and make sure it sinks into the ground below me.
But that’s just how I do it. Everyone has a way that they do it that works for them. Imagine flowers, or a stone circle. Whatever makes you feel safe.
Now I don’t do it for things like tea rituals. Unless I’m calling on some deity. Or just like, evening prayers. Basically, any time I’m sending out a search light looking for something, I put up a circle. Because moths follow the light.
Hope this helps a bit.
yes, a small circle of protection!
Yes, Amethyst. I first had time with the circles, because of my TBI, I cannot “spin” in a circle. I get dizzy just looking out the window sometimes. I can stand, so I stand outside at my altar stump, but only circle my arms, and yes, create a dome of protection, and I do release when I am done, and then consecrate the ground with an offering of water. Being in the desert, that is a fine offering to the land. (barely 7:30 am and already 92 degrees). We all do what we can, how we can. Magick is more intent-focused, than how many times you turn around and chant.

I’ve often wished I could find a beginner’s book for the disabled witch. With different tips for different problems. It would be a best seller! But yeah, I’m not the one to write it.
