I love how you are never telling people "the way to do" things but suggesting different ways to do them, it's really refreshing and helpful 😊

As a child, growing up Catholic on Guam where the spirits were everywhere and witch doctors are normal. I'd pray and imagine a white glow that created a bubble around my home to keep darkness away and protect my family each night. As an adult I've learned I am an Empath and understand that my natural instincts were to shield myself and those I loved, even before I understood why I needed it. I enjoy your videos. :) You're very knowledgeable and it's nice to hear information from someone who isn't pushing any one way on you.

Hey! I spent a few years of my childhood on Guam too. Nice to see you here! I don't hear of many people that have been there. 👋😁

This video was insanely helpful. All the sources online were so varied, so it's nice to have a concise explanation on all the variations

Apparently, I've been circle casting since I was 10... When I was little and afraid of the dark by sister taught me the method to snap my fingers and a fortress would pop up, so I visualized it happening and I visualized a sweeping of everything in my room out the door and into a bag. & I really believed it worked!! So funny to think that this stupid thing I did as a kid has like,, a real method.

I used to do something similar! I would imagine my bed was inside a protective shield dome and sometimes even added superheroes and other characters standing guard for good measure.

oh i also did something similar! I share a room with my sister, and in the past if one of us had a nightmare we would crawil jnto the others bed to sleep, and whenever my sister was scared I would visualize a white glow (how i visualize nmy bubble) around my bed to protect us both.

In my thirties and just starting to explore the craft and what it's truly about vs stories...what's funny (and startled me) is that when I was in high school and college I couldn't get to sleep without anxiety without imagining a bright blue "soap bubble" of light expanding out from my chest to circle me, pushing out anything that might wish me ill. Then I'd be nervous about the house, so I'd expand the bubble to include my house and family....then later on I started "bubbling" any of my friend's houses that popped into my mind before I went to sleep. I don't know when I stopped exactly, but it was funny to be reading a book and have it say "this is how you shield.."

I honestly don't understand why this channel isn't bigger. Your videos are lengthy because you give us all the details and to me that's a pro, not a con. Thank you for your videos as always, I really want you to upload a video on dream magick, I've been asking for a while and I'd love to watch you do it if you can ♥

small tip: it can be a good idea to cleanse your area before casting a circle! otherwise you can accidentally trap something in with you, lol. i've had it happen: forgot to cleanse my space before casting a circle, there was a very annoyed and confused spirit trapped inside the bubble with me throughout the whole tarot reading lmaoooo

I have learned more from you than any other witch, book, or online information. Thank you so much Hearth for helping me advance.

I´ve been studying magick for quite a while and honestly your videos fell like full classes. You are an amazing teacher, thank you for sharing your knoledge! You make it all fell easy and natural. Hope you make more videos like this!

Thank you so much! Out of 19 books I’ve read, not one of them had any circle casting technique that didn’t involve calling to deities. I appreciate this so much!

I am completing brand new at this and dont know many people in the practice, your videos have been a lifesaver I felt lost until I found your channel,you seem genuine and honest an i trust your advice your like a "witchy sensei" Thank You.

Same, here ! Completely new and Hearth's explanation is so simple! So many variations out there- too many!

I consider myself very new and I've been kind of fumbling my way through my practice. Your "beginner-witch" videos (such as this one, or grounding and centering, visualization) are very very helpful! What I'm realizing is that I've been sort of intuitively doing this "correctly", but it's nice to find that out, it definitely gives me more confidence. :) THANK YOU, HEARTH!

I’m on the verge of practicing divination and had never thought of casting a circle before starting this. This can’t be a coincidence that you talk about this now. Thank you so much for the insight and the info!

Okay, so I was watching this and just realized I've been casting a circle my whole life, way before I was ever introduced to the witchcraft "world". Whenever I felt negative energy (spirit related or not) around me, I always had the instinct to first "push that energy away" and then build a bubble aroun me. That bubble has always looked translucent orange with some "sparkles" all over it, and I remember, even as a kid, to instantly feel better, protected.

as I have two little ones under 5 and a well-meaning hubby I often have interruptions which isn't always ideal but I tend to work into the circle the requirement for those individuals to be welcome in the space if they walk into the room and when I raise and expand the energy I visually push that sphere of light out to where my family members are in the house so I don't have to re-do a circle. Perhaps some may say this is ill-advised but so far it has worked really well for me. 😊 Xx

Well you're for sure not uncomfortable doing your practice around others, I know I would be, but props to you honestly. My mom and brother know but I try to keep it private still as it's not as easy for me to get Witchy than when I am a lone.

OMG, after watching these videos I came to the conclusion that I have been doing visualization, centering, energy manipulation and casting a circle of protection since I was a child. Thank you so much , love your videos, they are amazing .

This was so helpful! I love how you include a way for those less limited in movement and space ❤️🖤 I also had a huge smile when you mentioned ferrets!!! Haha thank you for what you do!

Not only do I find your videos very educational but also entertaining. Your delivery is very good and enjoyable to follow.

what actually brought me to this video was the fact that I have had this issue for a while and it has kept me from furthering my practice for lack of enough salt, eggshells, space, ect to cast the ceremonial/ more tangible circle. Which lead me to kind of "freestyle" and imaging an orb of my own personal energy emanating from my solar plexus and pulsating outwards. It's nice to find out I was doing it right this whole time lmao well, the second technique you spoke of, anyway. my visualization has been good enough for me to do all of this in my mind. Im relieved to know I had been doing this correctly off of instinct, as my practice has lead me to be more of a minimalist, in all aspects. Ive only had the problem of forgetting tools or needing to leave the circle when actually casting a tangible circle, which I actually did this past 12-12-12 full moon, outside in the snow lol I used my footprints, walking clockwise, to lay it. the workings done within have been showing signs of success, so I would say it was rather effective, though I prefer energetic circle casting more. besides all that, this video was awesome and super informative! you're an awesome teacher and I love your channel! thanks for sharing, as always :)

I'm always watching Joey Morris and all I can say is Blessed be! To all my brothers and sisters from beginning to circles end.

I am very new in studying the craft and I have read a few books I have found when the author was explaining how to do circles it went over my head a bit. But watching your videos they are really easy to understand. Thank you so much 😊

I think you do a great job in explaining the different basics and practices like casting circles and your experiences within your practice. side note, I noticed you have a picture in the background of the witches around the fire, I recognized this because I have a small altar tile that has the same picture that I got a long time ago. I love that it's a print, looks beautiful in a framed setting.

I've never cast a circle for divination, or spells for that matter. I feel my space is safe from the rest of the house, as its my own little corner. I think I will with bigger things eventually but right now I feel I don't need to.

This was absolutely fantastic! I feel there are so many who don’t know the basics of circle casting and you have explained it so well in this video. ❤️ Can’t wait time see the second part!

This was insanely helpful! I really appreciate how you educate instead of just saying this is how you do it and this is 100% the only way. Thank you so much

When doing divination, take it another step further by having the querent visualize on releasing their energy too while you cast the circle. Mixing your energies together inside the circle.

The part you said about not having to be restrained by your space really helped me! As silly as this is, I’m definitely the type of person to think “wait, am I allowed to cast the circle through a wall…?” XD I also used to make the radius of my circle equal to my height for fear that my head would be poking out the top of the sphere! Thank goodness you’re here to clear up my extremely specific concerns, I’ve really learned to be more at ease during my spell work. Thanks for all the great resources, I don’t know where I’d be without them.

You know, as a child, my mother and I would do a "white light meditation" to keep away negative energy during the day. I now see a lot of similarities from that to the idea of casting a circle. I really am going to have to do that again as it has been way too long since I have done anything like it. Thanks. Love the videos.

Thank you so much for this lol. I’ve been a witch for a year now, and this video finally taught me how to cast a circle osushxjxbs

Great video :) Also, when centering or casting a circle, your energy doesn't always have to look or feel exactly the same. For me, depending on the situation, my mood, etc. the available energy will have different colors or feel differently

Great advice. I plan to use a circle to assist with controlling & releasing my energy. Nobody else I follow has offered this advice. Thank you so much.

12 other youtubers im subscribed to: **Posts video** Me: Id rather watch this video of hearth from 2 years ago :)

Thank you dear. Things you're explaining as "casting circle" knows any person who tryied and master any kind of energy work, before "modern witch days" even started in this Universe. Anyways, thanks 😘👍💐

Thank you, thank you for this video! Having limited space to work in, this will be very helpful. As always I do so enjoy the content and the way you get the information across.❤

When I first started casting circles I just intuitively made it so that the circle moved with me. I was kind of like the yolk that's held in the center of an egg. It never even occurred to me that the circle should be stationary.

I’m so appreciative that I’ve found your channel. I’ve been on my own learnjng about energy, and how to use and control it, for decades but with you I’m learning some fundamentals I missed and also gaining confidence in things I’ve figured out along the way. I did not know that witchcraft was based on the movement of energy. I came to witchcraft exploring something else and then found the connections. Life is interesting that way! So, thank you for your content and in helping me build my energy practice. I deeply appreciate your videos.

Oh! You are the best!! Simplify all the concepts so beautifully to help those of us that get confused. Thank you so much 🖤

My sphere is not liquid blue. But i was very surprised.. Because listening to your description i imagined a liquid circle, and then you explained your visualization as liquid.

At 10:23 I started yelling at my computer (startling the cats lol), THANK YOU! The tradition I'm working in suggests casting circles but doesn't give much information on what to do when your circumstances are less than ideal. Often I feel like I "can't" do spiritual/magical workings because I don't live in a forest with a grove of sacred trees in my backyard. Again, thanks, and you have a new Patron!

I enjoyed all of the variety, showing you are a well-rounded individual practitioner of magick. And my spelling software was not assisting me with the word PRACTITIONER because of limitations on my computer setup.

The first and best circle I ever cast was sitting on my couch with my cats on either side of me. I was able to pull from their positive energy as well as from the earth. I pushed it out with my mind and pulled it in the same way. It was also easy to cast a circle in the woods but I struggle in my backyard because there is so much noise from traffic, people, dogs barking, etc.

just got through your beginner playlist!! you are so knowledgeable, I'm glad I found you here! and I'm sure you get asked this a lot, but how do you color your hair? it's always gorgeous!

I used to do this as a kid (i used to walk around in a bubble) had no idea i was protecting myself wow

Hey! Im a new witch, and this is so usefull

My circle is my home. 🐲🏴‍☠️🖤. You're amazing.

So interesting! Whenever I would cast a circle i would use salt and call on the elements...maybe that's in the other video😅 but I love the idea of visualizing the circle or bubble just expanding outward. I think that would be so natural I love these witchcraft 101 videos! Best I've seen

Omggggg, I had so many questions😄 Thank you dear♡

Recently found your channel I've been binge watching all of them 😁

This is so helpful!! Thank you!

Hearth, thank you for explaining this! I'm new to all this and I've done both versions. Just like you mentioned, the more you practice the easier it becomes. I often do the 2nd version of circle casting when I want to sit down to meditate or read my cards on the altar. My energy circle is often white or blue.

Thanks again Hearth

Another great video Hearth. You've made me realise a few things I'd forgotten! Sometimes I feel I need to start from scratch again x

Thank you! You answered one of my questions (altar against the wall). ❤️

I just subscribed..I can tell I’m gonna learn a lot here 🖤 thank you for sharing your great work!

thank you! I love your channel and the way you explain things xx

Oh goodness I love your videos I learn so so much from you and I am so thankful! I just want to watch your playlist all day! I’m a beginner and I don’t follow a specific religion I am an omnist and I used to go to a lady to learn things and she said making a golden bubble was the most important thing to do. I have an anxiety disorder so when she said do it every morning and every night or you will get attacked I got so scared about it and I do it but she never explained it fully like this just do a golden bubble and you will be safe and now I get anxiety constantly about it! Thankful that you explained this so well and I feel so much more set up to succeed because what I do should come from a place of knowledge not of fear I’m growing constantly and I share as I learn on my you tube channel as a way to document my journey I don’t want to be afraid I want to grow and feel empowered thank you xx

This was a Very helpful video for me. You made circle casting seem so easy. Between reading and having ppl tell me how it's done, I was a little confuse. You made it crystal clear. Thank you.

I didn't know about casting above you was a thing. Good to know now.

I love circle casting and this video was very informative! So much love! I’ve found methods that work for myself that often involve making a pillar extending infinitely above and below rather than a sphere Helps a lot if sitting on a circular object or carpet, and I love learning new methods

I love your hair!

thank you so incredibly much!!

Oh lord I used to think my circles are so simple in comparison to others HAHA! I do it a lot like your second technique. I use palo santos and swirl it above my head 3 times clockwise because 3 is a very special sacred number for me. I visualize the bubble forming from that point and surrounding me and that’s it. XD When I close I swirl the palo santos 3 times counter clockwise and visualize the energy being drawn back up and popping like a bubble.

I like to Circle Cast with a feather. I call on the Angels of the four directions for Protections. Yes I am a Christian Witch. Blessed be and Amen.

thank You🌹

You should do a video about sprits. That would be a big help 😊

I think it's kinda weird how I used to cast circles before I even thought about becoming a witch. I used to get scared of things coming to get me at night (a very anxious kid) and I would visualize a bubble shield surrounding me in my room and eventually working out through the walls to the outside of the house. It always helped me feel secure

🌛🌕🌜thank you! 🎃

hi. do you have a video showing how to draw that circle for beginner and advance?

Thank🌹You.

love this thanks :) that art print behind you who is it by, where did you get it!!!????

Hi I'm new to wicca and I am finding it hard I've only been doing it about 4 months and find its alot of information to consider and take in i love to watch you and it seems so easy to you when you explain it I've been taking notes on everything but I feel I'm not doing it right my question is does it get easier to understand or am on a loosing path I really want to follow this path but time is a issue I have a group of friends where we get together and go through things I've learnt so you could say I'm the coven leader but I feel I'm letting them down xx

Irl magic is just like magic in tv shows except on tv you can see the magical energy.

I feel the energy physically throughout my body. I believe I'm clairsentient and it gathers in both my hands spontaneously. I cannot visualize or barely can. Will my circle casting still work if I can't see it. I'd like to cast in my room.

im a huge empath and have always been super in touch with my own energy as well as sometimes with others when i intend to do it. when i think of this and close my eyes I always see a dome of my energy around my self without intentionally setting it . what does that mean?

Hey, a question, can you do this on every day basis in the morning for the purpose of shielding and protecting your energy from others during the day or is it just for magical workings? And thank you so much for all the information on your channel, you’re amazing💜

Can u use elemental representation around the circle as well as a spiritual one? I heard some people call the quarters or elements when casting

What do you do when you feel negative energy coming into your home (not your circle) but within your home? I read a book that described negative, lower base energy is attracted to positive energy.... if you are feeling dark energy in your home after you close your circle, how do you get that energy out?

Can you make your circle travel with you surrounding you always everywhere you go?

Hi Hearth, I have a question for you... My question is how do I get a pentacle/pentagram with having a lot of money to buy one for my altar and what do I put on or into a travel altar if I don't have a lot of space in my place that I am living in?

how do you know when a circle has been casted and how do you know when its been closed

can i close things into a circle and stay out side of it? cause often times i do this to try to keep out fay and energy at my alter and stuff but i dont know if it works

I have a hard time visualizing color so I just visualize a smooth translucent sphere around me. Well, I try to visualize that. I have a hard time visualizing things in general

Quick question Would it work, if I imagined pushing the energy into the circle on the ground and then closing it above like a spring trap (I mean the shape)?
