The idea of holding ritual in a circle is very ancient, and in all likelihood derives from nothing more august than the fact that when people gather 'round they tend to do exactly that -gather in a roughly round, or circular form.

The magical act is a cumulative one. You start from scratch with newly purchased substances, ritually purify or demagnetize them with salt water, and incense, and then recharge...
