casting circles

a project in collaboration with Nicola van Straaten . 2020, a year we discovered our mutual love of neo-paganism, a year of honouring wheels, seasonal cycles, each other.

it's a game played by two people, with one small apple, three chestnuts and twelve stones placed in a circle. the stones (boundary stones), are cut with a line down the middle, holding a blade of wheat. as the players move around the circle, following the rules of the invented game, other elements start to emerge. weaving together play, ritual-space, and invocation, casting circles is an embodied practice in building and directing energy together.
