Protective and magickal circles have a long history in Jewish traditions, beginning with the Tanakh in Joshua 6:3-4. This is not an exhaustive compendium, yet, but is a primer on use of circles and circling in Judaism.

In the Ritual Archive you will find practical examples I have created using circle casting from a Jewish perspective.
