Metal in a circle?

[EmeraldRose]

I read somewhere that you can't have metal in your circle but it that true because you get the athame and the chalice is sometimes metal if not all of the time and you also get things like the figures and my book of shadows is metal but I have been using that in my circle! Kind of confused at the moment so can anyone clear it up for me please? Thank you in advance... )O(

I wonder where you got that, having metal is perfectly fine and can be used as a representation for fire or even earth in some cases. The only thing I have heard is that it is not wise to bring electrical devices into the circle because their vibes might contradicte with the energies of the circle itself. But metal is perfectly fine.

As with most things, it depends on the branch of paganism you pracice. Some traditions will say that the only thing made of metal should be the Athame. Others don't care. Still others forbid all metal.

I personally think that you should be the one to make that decision. If you want metal with in you circle than so be it. I think personally metal is a wonderful thing, especially since I think of the energy we use to cast being similar to electricity and metal is a conductor. Also, in China there are not 4 elements of nature but 5: water, earth, fire, wood and metal. Something to think about.
