Creating A Physical Magick Circle Options

I have ran into a problem with creating a magick circle in my dedicated practice space. I want to be able to draw the various circles needed for angelic/spirit evocation but the area is carpeted. The only thing I could think of that would work on the carpet was possible chalk but that cannot be cleaned up after effectively. I was wondering if any of you on here had any suggestions? I have thought of getting cloth and laying it down then drawing on it but I believe I would have the same problem of clean up unless I were to have a separate cloth for each angel/spirit. This then would create quite an ordeal for storage. Unfortunately taking out the carpet and putting in wood floors is just out of my budget.

I was watching HGTV last night and got a crazy idea. What if you painted the circle onto the carpet with liquid fabric softener like downy or something. You shouldn't be able to see it but turn on a black light and it should shine and glow. Might work. I would test a section of carpet in a closet or something first to make sure it wouldn't stain, then use the downy in a spray gun on stencils so you get crisp sigils and letters.

It might be cool to run some over existing circles and use a black light during workings for added effect. Kind of interesting.

Totally cool idea, and one I will probably see if I can do. However I know this to be the case with detergents, (but not sure about softeners) they attract dirt. That is to say, right off they will not but after a week or so, we will see that area is a lot dirtier then the rest of the carpet.

This is why your carpet gets dirtier after you shampoo it, Vs a new carpet…it still has a lot of detergent in it.

But the whole black light thing totally reopened my eyes to possibilities. No matter what the black light creates a surreal experience.

Since I lived for two years with candles as my main source of light, they are not as romantic in my mind. Cool yes, but candle light does not get me in “the mood” be it for ritual or other things candles get one in the mood for.

The Black light might do it.

I also read in some crap book, about creating a black light lamp shade for candles… any ideas on doing that?

Hmmm the possibilities the possibilities.
