This is a common term amongst Pagan paths
and relates to how you approach your practice. It is the intent with which you
create and enter your circle; it is the mind set which dispels fear and it is
the belief which sparks the magick of practice. If you experience doubt of the
heart or mind when performing/casting, then the manifestation of your work will
reflect that doubt.
I personally do no subscribe to the word perfect in
the mundane world because I believe the concept of perfection, true perfection
is beyond human comprehension. This is why I use ‘Perfect Love & Perfect
Trust’ in my practice as a witch. It adds to the spiritual level of the working;
by using the concept of perfect love, I am accepting that deity loves me and is
working through me. This also applies to perfect trust – a mutual trust between
deity and I that the intent of my working is just.
The meaning is not solely about the connection to
deity for me. Entering a circle in perfect love is also an expression of
devotion to your craft; it is the acceptance and surrender by the mind, body
and spirit that you consider your practice and belief to be your spiritual
home. Home is, for the majority of the population, where you find love. In my
craft, this is never truer than when I enter circle and connect. In that place,
between the worlds, between the conscious mind and the realm of the unseen is
my home – it is where I experience perfect love. I carry this love with me by
wearing my pentacle, which for me is the symbol of perfect love, given to and
received from home.
Perfect Trust is also represented by wearing my
pentacle. This is manifest in my trust that following the line of the pentacle
will always allow me to reach all points of its path. As each point represents
an element, I carry the elements with me wherever I travel – in this world or
those beyond. To enter a circle in Perfect Trust is essential for successful
practice; it is the belief behind the intent; the faith without evidence that
your energy will project and manifest your desire and that the presence of
deity is with you.
The Universe is a vast place, infinite and full of
unknown entities, elements and quantities. If you have had the blessing that is
to experience a moment of perfect love and perfect trust in the Universe, it
should be cherished and carried with you into every magickal, spiritual and
mundane moment.
