The term ‘closed circle’, is sometimes puzzling to novices and newcomers to the psychic world. There is a simple explanation.
In the spiritualist and psychic world, everyone sits in circles. The idea being that a circle has no beginning and no end. Also, in a circle everyone can be seen by each other. And, the psychic energy which builds up can be better utilised in a circle.
The open circle is the most well known of psychic circles. Followed by the development circle. At spiritualist churches these are usually open to all.
A closed circle is just that, closed to all except those who are invited. These closed circles often take place in private homes, but can also take place in church. In church, closed circles are often for members only.
The beauty of the circles being closed, is that the leader of the circle has more control over what takes place. Novices will often find that they have to prove them self, in order to get an invite.
Closed circles are usually held to serve a particular purpose. In tomorrows post I will discuss these purposes.
