Witchcraft circle embroidery is a form of artistic expression that combines elements of witchcraft and embroidery. It involves the creation of intricate and detailed designs on fabric, using various embroidery techniques. These designs typically incorporate symbols, images, and patterns associated with witchcraft and magic. The circle is a key symbol in witchcraft, representing the sacred space in which rituals and magic are performed. In witchcraft circle embroidery, the circle is often the central motif of the design, with other symbols and elements radiating out from it. This creates a visual representation of the energy and power of the circle, as well as the interconnectedness of all things.
This creates a visual representation of the energy and power of the circle, as well as the interconnectedness of all things. The materials used in witchcraft circle embroidery can vary, but typically include fabric, embroidery floss or thread, and needles. Different types of embroidery stitches may be used to create the desired patterns and textures.
Narnia re-read. LWW Chapter ten. The spell begins to break.
I assume this is the intended response, but when Mrs Beaver was busily packing the food they are going to take on their journey, I was desperate for them to just get going, just as Susan was. (But then, in real life, I’m the sort of person who likes to be a good hour early for a train.)
As a child I longed for Narnian adventures, but re-reading them now they seem to be a lot more stressful than I remembered. Trekking through the snow for hours while trying not to leave tracks or be caught doesn’t sound fun at all. I think I must have skimmed over those parts and focused on the feasts and living in castles.
We aren’t told what they drink in the cave, but it sounds like some sort of brandy or whisky.
I love the little detail that when beavers are excited, their grammar suffers. Who knew?
The idea of Father Christmas existing in the Narnian world has troubled some people. Why would Christmas happen, if Jesus doesn’t exist there, only Aslan? Wouldn’t Christmas be peculiar to our world? To be fair, it isn’t logical in the slightest, but Lewis liked the idea, and so he used it. I’ve never heard a child question it when they read the story, and these stories are for children after all. In a wintry, snowy story full of magic, it makes its own kind of sense. (Although Tolkien would completely disagree with me.)
Father Christmas is described in a way which is similar to passages about Aslan. He is good, and glad, but also solemn. Lewis returns again and again to the idea that something can be happy and serious at the same time: ‘Lucy felt running through her that shiver of gladness which you only get if you are being solemn and still’.
I have always wondered what Edmund’s gift would have been. Was there one ready for him?
There has been a lot of discussion about Lewis’ attitude to women, both in the Chronicles and in his other work. This is definitely a topic which warrants its own post, so I won’t go into it too much here. He says in this chapter that ‘battles are ugly when women fight’. Taking this statement in isolation, to be fair to Lewis, women generally didn’t fight in battles at the time of writing. (There are exceptions of course, such as the women fighting in the Red Army in WW2.) The same is true of the battles which occurred in the medieval world Narnia owes so much to. His contemporaries would mostly have agreed with him. However, reading this as a young girl I was confused. How were battles any different if women fought in them? Why couldn’t I fight for Narnia if I did manage to get there? Weren’t battles always ugly? In later Narnia stories girls do fight in battles, but not here.
Of all the gifts, the one I really wished I could have was the diamond bottle containing the healing cordial. There were other swords, shields etc., but I’d never heard of anything like this.
Once again, the ‘good’ characters enjoy a wholesome meal, this time having tea and sandwiches.

The colors chosen for the design are often symbolic, with each color representing a different intention or meaning. For example, red may symbolize passion and strength, while green may represent abundance and fertility.

Reviews for "Using Witchcraft Circle Embroidery as a Form of Meditation"
1. Jennifer - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Witchcraft Circle Embroidery". The designs were very basic and lacking creativity. It felt like the same old patterns that you can find anywhere else. Additionally, the instructions were confusing and not very helpful. I had to constantly search for online tutorials just to understand how to properly execute some of the stitches. Overall, it did not live up to the hype for me.
2. Mark - 1 star - I cannot recommend "Witchcraft Circle Embroidery" at all. The quality of the materials provided was abysmal. The threads were cheap and kept tangling, making it extremely frustrating to work with. The fabric was also very thin and easily tore. Furthermore, the design choices were not appealing to me. I was hoping for more mystical and captivating patterns, but it was all rather mundane and uninteresting. Save your money and invest in a better embroidery kit.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Witchcraft Circle Embroidery", but I was left disappointed. The instructions were poorly written and difficult to follow. As a beginner, I struggled to understand the terminology and steps involved in creating the designs. The lack of clear explanations made it a frustrating and time-consuming experience. Additionally, some of the recommended stitches were not suitable for the designs, leading to a messy final result. I would not recommend this kit for beginners or those looking for easy-to-follow instructions.
