Circle of Art:
Geometry, sacred space, and containment
“The circle is not meant to imprison spirits, as many grimoires foolishly teach. Its true purpose is to center the magician within his own divine authority. It represents the unity of microcosm and macrocosm, the unbroken connection between man and the Divine Source. When the magician stands within the circle, vibrating the divine names, he declares himself a lawful co-worker of creation, and all beings recognize this alignment. Without understanding this, the circle is but chalk upon the floor.”
— Franz Bardon. 1909 - 1958
