"This is one of the most useful rituals there is," said Sky almost half an hour later. I was finding that Sky's circle was different from any circle I'd attended: the fact was that whoever was leading a circle naturally imbued it with their aura, their power, and their whole persona. It was fascinating to see how different leaders cast different circles. So far I liked Sky's circle.

"I'd like to teach you how to deflect negative energy," said Sky. "This isn't something to use if you're under attack or in real trouble. It's more like something gentle and constant to surround yourself with in order to reduce negativity in your life and increase your positive energy."

I glanced at Hunter, thinking, He could use some positive energy right about now. His anger seemed less intense, but I could tell he was still brooding.

"It uses runes as its base," Sky explained. She took a small red velvet pouch from her belt and knelt. "Everyone sit down and come closer." Opening the pouch, she dumped its contents onto the wooden floor. Rune tiles spilled out, really prettyones, made of different-colored stones. I had a rune set at home that I'd bought at Practical Magick , but mine was only fired clay. "There are so many different tools a witch can use.

?"

" Algiz," I said automatically.

"And wynn ," she said, placing the wynn tile next to eolh ."For happiness and harmony.Another name for it?"

Simon said, " Wunjo."

" Uine," said Robbie, and Sky nodded. I liked how she was involving everyone—she wasn't just lecturing, but including what little knowledge we had.

"Sigel, for sun, life, energy," said Sky, placing it by the other to form a triangle.

" Sowllo," said Thalia , looking pleased that she knew.

" Sugil," Bree added.

Sky grinned. "You guys are good.One more.Ur, for strength." She placed the tile for ur so that the four symbols together made a diamond shape.

" Uruzor uraz ," said Raven, and her eyes met Sky's for a moment of private communion.

"Right.Now," Sky went on. "You can write these runes on a piece of paper, scratch them into an old slate or stone, carve them into a candle, or what have you. But use these four runes in this order. Put the written runes in your personal space, your bedroom, your car, even your school locker. When you see them, tap them with a finger and repeat, " Eolh, wynn , sigel , ur .
