Store Your Magic Circle

by J'Karrah, 2003

There are occasionally situations when it is not possible to cast a formal protective circle, even thought it may be very necessary.  This spell allows you to cast a formal circle then store it in a consecrated, energized crystal for later use.  The crystal can be of any type, provided it is one you have a strong affinity for.  It should, however, be one you can wear as a pendant, in a ring or on a bracelet. 

Needed Items:

     Normal altar equipment

     Protection incense or Dragon's blood, or sage

     Cinnamon oil/extract or Dragon's Blood oil

     1 Crystal (any type)

Perform Draconic Circle Casting

Invite Dragon Companions (optional)

Step 1: Raise the crystal high in salute to your attending Dragons and say: 

Behold this crystal!  From the forces of Creation has it come.  Many paths it has taken before finding its way to me.  I accept it as a gift from the Earth.  May it serve me well from this point forward so that I may better walk the path which I have chosen. 

Step 2: Dip the crystal in the salt water, then pass it through the incense smoke.  As you do this, visualize the crystal as first cloudy and dirty, then becoming bright and clean.  Know that the crystal is being purged of any unwanted energies or influences and say: 

Now does the combined powers of the elements drive out all unwanted energies and influences from this crystal.  From this days forward it shall be cleansed and pure, accepting only those energies which I allow.  May it serve me always that I may grow in strength, wisdom and honor.  

Step 3: Anoint the crystal with the Dragon's blood oil and charge it with protective energy by chanting: 

Dragons of Power, Dragons of Light, Dragons of Wisdom, Dragons of Might,

Lend me your magic, lend me your aid, Lend me your guidance as this spell is made!  

Continue chanting until you feel the crystal is fully charged, then place it back on the altar.

Step 4: Extend your arms toward the perimeter of your circle and "grab" hold of it.  With your mind, draw the circle inward as you pull your arms into your body.  As the circle's edge approaches the altar, visualize a vortex of energy forming above the crystal.  "See" the energy of the circle being drawn into the crystal and being stored there.  When all of the circle's energy has been drawn into the crystal, visualize the substance of the crystal forming a seal over the point of entry and say: 

Now is the crystal sealed and this circle stored.  So shall it remain until it is needed for protection or defense.  If such a time should come to pass let the crystal be opened and the circle released by the speaking of a word, and let that word be ________.

This word should be one that is unique enough that you will not say it by accident, but also one which you will be able to remember easily (this is the hard part).  Thank your Quarter guardians, and your companions for allowing you to store a portion of their energies.  When you are not carrying the crystal with you, it should be stored in a safe location.
