What to materials to use to draw on floors

[Lu_CiD]

Hi
I've run into issues while drawing circles on my hardwood floor without damaging it. I've tried using the following with little or no luck
Chalk - didn't show up well
White shading pencils- didn't show up at all

The only thing that's worked so far is painters tape and marker onto that.
Anyone have any better recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

I have never tried making physical lines, just astral lines and using my astral sight/projection/imagination, and holding them in my minds eye.
If I was going to make physical lines, something I could put out and away easily would be the best. I would get a sheet and make paint or ink markings on it.

Same for me, I prefer to use energetic things, even with physical things you have to enchant them. the image with no power behind it does nothing.

I've seen people have custom embroidery done for a physical form of a circle etc. Tiles/paint etc.

If it cannot stay in one place, you'll need to make sure it is durable/easily moved.

I have a whole room right now but i will be moving soon so something physical and movable will definitely be the way to go for me.

it helps to have visual aids for me personally and most definitely consecrated.

Yep. I had to buy a patch for one of my 'uniform' hoods and they need to be broken in with consecration and or use. Eventually they will pick up your energy though.

I read somewhere that some people use skipping ropes. You could dye it any colour you want and take your circle with you to another location.

that not a bad idea though if say a star was made out if it it seems like it would be kinda easy to mess up it trip on however just a circle by itself would be perfect. especially if outdoors or something

You can get some masking paper from Sherwin Williams or Home Depot. They have larger sizes. Then tape it to the floor and then you can draw whatever you like. Keep it there as long as you want, or remove it. No damage to the wood floors.

They have construction paper you can put down as well. It will cost a bit more, but it is thicker than masking paper, and in wider rolls, and will last longer if that is something you want. Think of the kind of paper that is put down to protect floors while remodeling is happening.

Just a thought.

Are you just looking to cast a circle, or are you drawing other things too?

For a circle, I use plastic tubing filled with salt can be just laid down on the floor in the configuration of a circle. (I did this a lot when I was in apartments and obviously could not do any permanent markings). The tubing can then be rolled up and stored for later use, laid out in moonlight, for charging, etc etc.

Agree with HoldAll for the jump ropes and FireBorn for the construction paper/masking paper too. That's a handy trick when you need specific colors or symbols other than just a circle!

That is easy question i think. The best (in my opinion) are black carbon (anthrax) or white flour!

You could maybe use regular table salt on hardwood floors, it’s maybe not as ideal as rock salt or sea salt but it’s salt and it’s relatively inexpensive.
You might consider dry erase markers but I would test them on a small area before laying down an epic piece of work.

there are some good videos on YouTube about making “tau” robes, you can get 100% cotton fabric at craft stores, or 100% linen or silk online, remember though that silk is a real pain to sew because it wants to shift around on you all the time.

I'm not sure if you can get something similar in the US but in Germany we have something called Fettkreide (grease chalk/grease crayon?). It works pretty well for drawing on the floor and also wipes off pretty easily afterwards

Use charcoal: Take a tree branch, burn it, turn it into charcoal, and then write with it.

yes, charcoal i wanted to say teacher, from real wood because carbon maybe industrial, my mentor told me and for white flour (zisurrû) for protection.

Chalk, or tape. Chalk is really good if you're careful and perceptive enough

Polyester mats/rugs work well.. You can pre print designs on them or You can have the elements necessary painted on using stencils or hand drawn. I used to use paint markers when traveling and utilizing the small spaces that I was renting for such purposes of creating a temporary temple.

Remember that whatever you use does not have much power without consecrating and charging the circle..
