Poll: Triangle Or No Triangle Options

I am looking for people to share why they prefer to use or not use a triangle. I know some do and some do only once in a while. So share why you do or don't.

I chose the option "use triangle some of the time". Reading all of the posts reminded me of the CM use for triangles which I hadn't thought about since watching an invocation ritual someone posted on this site. I've mainly used triangles as a hand gesture meant for focusing energy. Sometimes for sending energy out and other times for drawing in Divine essence. I've found it also helps me focus clairvoyant skills when I hold my hands that way near my eyes with my fingertips lined with my third eye.

The comments about confidence and will are very very important points. There is wisdom in knowing limitations. As magicians we dare to do things many won't be we also must know what we are doing. Sometimes the best defense is to leave well enough alone ... at least for the time being. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It is the will which creates a reality of protection. Train your awareness and focus and a magick circle will follow you where ever you go. Spiritual essence or magick as some call it, is everywhere. The concept of a circle is what brings us back to that awareness.

I use John Lennon's words at the conclusion of each Elodrym ritual to remind people of this.

"However far you travel,
Where ever you may roam,
The center of the circle,
Will always be your home."
