Most of the time it is learned from the coven, the traditions are
passed on from generation to generation and the secrects are kept in a
Book Of Shadows. As a solitary pratcitioner, you right most of your
own rituals and learn fromthe limited published books(but growing in
numbers)
Is there a
> set list of things that you do?
I follow my heart that is all And always remember In perfect love and
Perfect Trust.
as I have just become part of a coven now I can only say I am still
learning how to work as a group.
Is your intent to involk some spirit or
> something?
It is to bring the Goddess/godd into your body during ritual.
Where did you get the idea of casting the everlasting circle

The circle is not everlasting for if it where I could not release it?
And how do you honour the Goddess/God? Is this higher

Okay The Goddess is both in one male and female male is the seed,
female the womb, there can be no life without a womb and a seed. The
Goddess/God made the universe but thegoddess gave birth to it and all
within. I will be honest I dont have written proof of this but it is
something that makes sense, there is however something similiar
written in The Spiral Dance by Starhawk.
