If you have created a protective circle and the circle is broken for example be a cat running through it, what's the best way to proceed? If you're in the middle of a spell and something like that happens should you stop what you're doing and re- create the circle?
a cat running through your circle would only break your concentration not the circle itself. though in a situation where the circle is broken I always close it and reopen it. Though others may have other ideas.
My beliefs Circle is not for protection from physical things it only protect us and affect non physical forms like paranormal spirits energies etc so cat is physical so I dont believe it shall effect .... But spirits and energies can travel in physical things so they may come inside your circle through any physical thing or being maybe I preffer open and Recast circle

i lock my cat in a bedroom when i'm casting a circle. whenever this happens, be it a cat, or someone wandering through, i just quickly go around again, i don't call to the four directions since they're still there, but i go around and visualize the circle again. if someone wishes to leave for a moment, you can cut a hole in the circle and close it back up when you're done instead of recasting.
Many thanks for your feedback. I have never heard that you can cut a hole in a circle to let someone in or out. Could you kindly tell me how that works? Blessed be.
sway your athame back and for 3 times in a cutting motion above where your circle ends [try cutting a 'Z'] then tap your athame on the ground [if done outside my covenmates and i will stick the athame in the ground] your circle is open in that one spot, however big you made the 'Z'. when you come back it, pull the athame from out of the ground and make a reverse 'Z' then stomp your foot or whatever you do to symbolize the circle being closed.
we use to do that a lot when we were starting out because i would ALWAYS forget the wine or the chalice just outside the circle XD i make a checklist now.
