The Circle of The Goddess Facilitator Training

Under the bright full circle of the moon, women have often gathered for sisterhood, community, and magical purpose. Standing together within the circle they have discovered protection, safety, and power in numbers. Energy is elevated, intention is focused, and spirituality is strengthened.

A lone woman can cast a sacred circle for herself. Standing in the center of it, she can raise her own power and intensify her own intent. But when a group of women come together in the shape of the moon, sun or the earth—an even mightier power is raised, and it is a power that deeply reveals The Goddess as wholeness, community, inclusivity, and togetherness. The feeling that comes over you is inexplicable when partaking in ritual while in a sacred circle. You feel an excitement comparable to an energetic charge, a flow of electricity. It is full of expectancy and anticipation.

While within a sacred circle, I have often thought these words: She is here.

The circle is thought to have supernatural power, an elevated mystical vibration and deep spiritual significance. It is representative of wholeness, initiation, cycles, the womb, unity, completion, and infinity. It is the beginning without end, life without death. It is the shadow of the sphere, the reflection of The Whole and all that there is. The circle is the most natural and original shape, found in nature and appearing around us in the atom particle. It is the shape of our cells, seeds for some plants, celestial bodies, and that of many galaxies.

The circle reminds us that we are fundamentally endless energy, and in the same way that we reclaim our ancient and original relationship with The Goddess, returning to cast the sacred circle is about restoring our relationship to our primitive feminine roots and the remembering of the ancient rituals of woman.
