How to Make a Safe Circle for a Ouija Board
Wicca is a religion with origins that can be traced back to pre-Christian paganism of Northern Europe and what is now the United Kingdom. Belief in magic is a central tenet of Wicca, whose members cast spells as a way of influencing real-world events and evoking the gods. Casting a circle is a Wiccan ritual that creates a kind of "safe space" to perform spells or divination rites, such as using a Ouija board. Wicca does not have any official position on Ouija boards, but generally believes in their ability to communicate with spirits, so circle-casting helps protect the practitioner from what he or she may encounter as a result.
