Merry Meet Rose! I am 45, new to Witchcraft, and very excited to learn. My living quarters are pretty tight, and all I have is a small closet to use as my space. I cannot really cast a good circle. Is it okay to just cast the best I can? I have also read that cats can enter and exit a circle without breaking it. Is that true? Brighest blessings to you!

Merry Meet Seeker, It is wonderful to hear from you. It always makes me smile when people try to do their best with whatever they have and worry that it may not be enough. Women tend to do that more Of course, nature helps everyone who wants to help themselves. So it is absolutely perfect that you have a small space to work your spells and that you are doing your best to learn and practice the beautiful and most natural religion of Witchcraft. Yes, it is true that some animals, esp cats can enter or exit a circle without really breaking it. Many witches have found this to be true. However, it is best to close the circle if this happens, just for your benefit because doubt can be very negative even if we are not aware of it. Casting a circle is important, but knowing that you are doing the right thing is more important. Your spiritual strength, visualization and the amount of energy that you can raise will help you reach your goal quickly. Witchcraft is an exciting way of life, isn’t it? You can make all of your dreams come true. I am glad to hear from people like you who are dedicated and want to further improve their life simply by applying themselves to the Craft with dedication and complete attention. Brightest Blessings. Rose.
