The Spiritual
Man was said to be made up of 4 elements and thus we call in all parts of ourselves and the Divine.
If you are in a group Circle, you can use individuals to call in the Quarters. If you are a Solitary, you can honour each direction yourself using any of the ways suggested below.
If you are wanting to cast a spell for a particular purpose, you may like to pay extra attention to the particular quarter which aligns itself to your desire. For example: Achieving a desire Fire/North.
