quiz for council

So I have decided to make a few quizes for those who wish to be in the council. Each one will vary, but this is the first one that I came up with. I thought this would be a pretty interesting idea to test the knowledge of the coven members as well. So feel free to post on this one.

1. name 3 candle colors and their purpose
2. what is the boline used for
3. name 3 misconceptions about witches
4. what is deosil?
5. what is widdershins?
6. what is a psychic shield and why do we use it?
7. what is a sacred space and why do we use one?
8. how do you cast a circle?
9. how long have you been practicing?
10.why do you wish to be a member of council?

1.Red: Used for desire related to love,physical energy, or health
Green:Used for money,prosperty,abundance,success,and good fortune
Black:Used to drain out negative energies

2.one of several ritual knifes use to cut cords and herbs, carving candles, etc.

3.Worship Satan
Fly on a broomstick
Hexes ppl when mad

4.To walk in a clockwise direction

5.To walk counterclockwise

6.I have a idea and most likly it is wrong but to block out negartive energy or psychic attacks. I plan to study that later on

7.A sacred space is an physcal or mental place. A place were u made it safe,clean, free from worries. We have a sacred space to be reach a spirituality in a deeper level.

8. Many ways to cast a circle. here is one i use

Visualize a small ball around or at he naval point. Visualize a stream of energy comeing up and feeding the ball. As u breath in through ur noise and out throught mouth visualize the ball gro bigger. Dont visualize it grow to fast or u may losse it. Expand the ball to the right size u wanted it. Then stop the stream of energy comeing from the earth and seal it were no energy can escape.No visualize it becomeing more solid. Then begin ur intended work. When done just vislize it in reverse. Visulize the engergy flowing back to earth and then visualize the sphere soming down as u breath.
this is a short short way that slivervixen told me about.

9. I have been practicing for 2 yr and i feel that there r thousands of thing i need to learn

10.I personaly dont care if i am in the council or not i just want to help the coven in anyway i can. If it means being a member then it mean being a member. And i wanted to test myself.

1:pink for love,black banishment and curses,blue beauty
2: Boline is mostly used for cutting
Like herbs and such for spells/rituals
3:flying on brooms,they all have black cats,if you tie a wich up and throw them into a pond they will float.
4:clockwise
5: they say if you go widdershins around a graveyard three times you undo the consecrating of the ground
6:protection of the mind
7:a place where you do your magic and so that your safe while doing magic.
8:All tools must be within the circles before you begin. It is possible to leave the circle once it is cast, but only if completely necessary. NEVER break it during a spell.
The altar should be set up in front of you. It doesn't really matter which direction the altar faces, but most prefer that you look east for general purposes. For other purposes you may choose to face other ways.

Light a white candle (this is you altar candle and its best that you always use the same one...of course until it has burnt down completely and you need to buy a new one. This is the only use this candle should have) and meditate or concentrate on what you want to accomplish with you workings.

When you are in the right frame of mind, picture you circle forming from the point directly in front of you. This can be on the other side of the altar, or you may wish it to come from the altar candle. Picture it forming clockwise (deosil) all the way around you. You can visualise this as a white light forming a ring or as a circle of flame. Once the circle is complete, visualise the light extending slowly upwards from the circle to form a translucent dome or cone of light around and above you, completely enclosing you inside. It will feel like the inside of a bubble.

Take another minute or two to relax and feel your energy filling the circle. You might wish to visualise this as a coloured smoke to help you feel it better. When you are ready and relaxed, you can start you spell
9:1 year
10:i wish to help others and learn more about magic so i can teach magic in the future

reseme the thing on widdershins was very interesting. However I was just looking for which direction you would go.

but did i get in? i gave extra information :D

1:pink for love,black banishment and curses,blue beauty
2: Throughout time, the boline (also spelled bolline or boleen) has been an important tool on the altar. It is a knife that, unlike the athame, is used to cut ritual herbs and carve with. Any tasks which involve cutting or etching would be served through the boline. These bolines will make a wonderful addition to your altar.
3:flying on brooms,they all have black cats,if you tie a wich up and throw them into a pond they will float.
4:To move deosil is to move in a clockwise (or sunwise) direction. This archaic term is sometimes used in Wiccan ceremonies.
5: Widdershins (sometimes withershins, widershins or widderschynnes) means to move in a counter-clockwise direction.
6:protection of the mind
7:a safe place of peace deep within your mind where you can practice and improve your skills as a wiccan
8:All tools must be within the circles before you begin. It is possible to leave the circle once it is cast, but only if completely necessary. NEVER break it during a spell.
