Watchtowers

[Adrenaline Junkie]

I've done a search, but haven't got a good enough feel for the watchtowers.

What ones represent what?
How do you all envision them?

I've heard that you have to cast your circle in a square, so they can sit during ritual. Is this true?

(I'm very curious today)

[Myst]

The Guardians of the Watchtowers are symbolic guardians of each element and direction. They are called to witness and protect a rite. If you can visualize a castle and it's Watchtowers you can see the significance - castle walls weren't built in circles, but in rectangles or squares, or at least shapes with sharp angles. Thus the Guardians take their places at corners in a square (or diamond, if you imagine them in each direction) rather then a circle. They are often visualized as big strong men with or without weapons, usually facing outwards to guard your working.

Very well put Myst!

Doh! I meant the Guardians of the Watchtowers, just never typed it.

Thanks for the info Myst. You're always so helpful!

It's all good, I knew what you meant but I just wanted to mention the "full name". I'm glad to help.

I see the Guardians of the Watchtowers as these huge towers in all 4 directions of the Earth with Gargoyles facing toward the center of the 4.
