Though stereotypical, the conical hat has become symbolic of the power and image of Witches. This hat, once a popular style, has been revived by some modern Witches as an emblem of pride. The brim is said to denote the magic circle, while the point symbolizes the cone of power-energy generated by Witches in ritual. A consecrated hat can be a source of protection and magic in the guise of a costume accessory.
To begin, obtain a suitable hat made of some type of fabric (as opposed to plastic) and set it on your altar. Place your hands on either side of the hat, sending white light from your hands into it while saying: Circle of magic, cone of power, Rising to a spiritual point; Protection and blessing I hereby shower, With magical purpose I do anoint. Brimming with energy, the force does surge, My Witch's hat is hereby charged. |
