Photos from tonight’s ritual. This was a ward activating/protection ritual. I use it to activate the wards I place in and around my home. The design is mine, but it utilizes some of the “syntax” of alchemy circles, along with my alphabet symbols and phrasing. 

Each circle represents a step in the process, with the center one being the final threshold and within that is the ward symbol. The nodes are the gateways between steps (salt and candles on corresponding nodes), with lines being pathways. Around each circle the instructions are written for the step. At the end of the ritual I placed my divination tools in the center so they could also benefit from it. Afterwards I left the candles to burn out completely and erased everything for banishment.
