A bell can be used in
magick as a
symbol of the
Goddess. The
bell is wonderful for marking important points of
rituals. You can ring it to mark the beginning or the end of something, to mark a passing, to remind yourself that "it is done." Some people think it's a good way of telling the deities that you're done and "They can leave," but I'm not into that; I mean if They're the deities They can leave whenever They want and don't have to come to my
silly ritual. I *ask* for Their presence but I don't demand it (though I don't think of Them as sentient beings like a lot of people do; when I
invoke I'm not trying to get people-like
attention but to
align myself with whatever
powers that do exist and also to remind myself of the complimentary sacredness in myself). Anyway, the bell is for marking whatever you choose to mark.
