Reflecting on... 'Perfect Love & Perfect Trust'

This is a common term amongst Pagan paths and relates to how you approach your practice. It is the intent with which you create and enter your circle; it is the mind set which dispels fear and it is the belief which sparks the magick of practice. If you experience doubt of the heart or mind when performing/casting, then the manifestation of your work will reflect that doubt.

I personally do no subscribe to the word perfect in the mundane world because I believe the concept of perfection, true perfection is beyond human comprehension. This is why I use ‘Perfect Love & Perfect Trust’ in my practice as a witch. It adds to the spiritual level of the working; by using the concept of perfect love, I am accepting that deity loves me and is working through me. This also applies to perfect trust – a mutual trust between deity and I that the intent of my working is just.

The meaning is not solely about the connection to deity for me. Entering a circle in perfect love is also an expression of devotion to your craft; it is the acceptance and surrender by the mind, body and spirit that you consider your practice and belief to be your spiritual home. Home is, for the majority of the population, where you find love. In my craft, this is never truer than when I enter circle and connect. In that place, between the worlds, between the conscious mind and the realm of the unseen is my home – it is where I experience perfect love. I carry this love with me by wearing my pentacle, which for me is the symbol of perfect love, given to and received from home.

Perfect Trust is also represented by wearing my pentacle. This is manifest in my trust that following the line of the pentacle will always allow me to reach all points of its path. As each point represents an element, I carry the elements with me wherever I travel – in this world or those beyond. To enter a circle in Perfect Trust is essential for successful practice; it is the belief behind the intent; the faith without evidence that your energy will project and manifest your desire and that the presence of deity is with you.


The Universe is a vast place, infinite and full of unknown entities, elements and quantities. If you have had the blessing that is to experience a moment of perfect love and perfect trust in the Universe, it should be cherished and carried with you into every magickal, spiritual and mundane moment.
