CIRCLE OF MAGIC In the days when sorcerers practised their dark arts, one of their principal duties was to call upon evil spirits. This raised the danger that the sor- cerer himself might become the object of those spirits' fury. To protect himself, he went out into a dark forest, a graveyard or other dismal spot and drew a Magic Circle. The circle was described on a piece of ground nine feet square and the sorcer- er sat in the middle while he sounded his incantations. With- out the protection of the Magic Circle, it was believed, the magician would be carried off by spirits. One business man to another:: "We're a non-profit organiza- tion.
