Not really anything to do with Solomon of course. Its a talisman of protection for when you summon demons, something we all do at times, right?

True magic is not summoning demons. It’s when people show kindness to one another.

So, yes, the cat is out of the bag (rabbit out of the hat?)

I am thrilled to be writing a regular column for the Magic Circle magazine. Not often you get asked to write for a 120 year old publication!

I plan to cause a little good trouble every two months.

Ah crochet magic circle - my old nemesis

We meet again. 😑

You shan't defeat me this time.

I have a renewed sense of stubbornness on my side.

Yesh.

This overall “hexagram” is a star of David (six-pointed star made from two triangles crossed) inscribed in a circle, so the points of the star just touch the circle.

The “sigil” in the bottom triangle is garbled Hebrew; see the link below for a 16th C. MS. that may’ve been the source.

Obviously with Greek, Latin, English, this was not used by Solomon!

One of 80 or so magic circles from the Lesser Key of Solomon, based on a 14th century manuscript in the British Library, and almost certainly nothing to do with an actual King Solomon, if he ever existed.

Cleaned up with #GIMP3 but the wobbly lines retained for an antique feel.

NOTE this is a circle of protection and binding, it is not for summoning.

🎩✨ Behold! The Magic Circle, in a groundbreaking move, finally acknowledges the existence of two guys who've been performing magic since #dinosaurs roamed the Earth. 🦖 Meanwhile, the New York Times kindly asks you to sacrifice your soul (and privacy) for a chance to read about it. 📜🔒

Although i posted this Magical Circle some years ago, the book has instructions for colouring it, so here is a #colour version, made in #GIMP . Note: the spell-caster stands in the middle, so it is for protection.

NOTE: the book i have used what was probably an 18th century manuscript in the #britishLibrary, this is NOT a “real” ancient Hebrew artifact!

Do you visualize magical circle for rituals?
Over time I switched from standard Wicca circle based on Pentacle, to circle based on 4-point star. Four animals as symbols of 4 classic Elements (Fire - Firebird, Water - Fish or Rusalka, Air - Falcon, and Earth - Bear) and dance of Sun and Moon at center as Spirit.

I am not best at drawing, but able to create approximate look of it in my grimoire. Just too shy to show it.

After guided meditation about the magic circle, I open the eyes, and first what I see are these 5 bushes of grass growing in a circle on a side of hill.
When Nature send me magic circle right away as a present.

The staircase at the Magic Circle. A fascinating place, next to Euston station, where you can catch some wonderful close up magic shows https://themagiccircle.co.uk/shows/ #MagicCircle #magic

A cute little summoner. Don't underestimate her.

In just over a month, the Science of Magic Association (@SoMA) and British Society of Aesthetics will be hosting an exciting workshop on the Aesthetics of Illusion, held at the London Magic Circle. I'm working with a student on a qualitative study of expert magicians that we'll report at the conference.
