The Magic Circle

The Magic Circle is an 1886 oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style by John William Waterhouse. Two versions of the painting were produced, and there is an oil study. All depict a witch or sorceress using a wand to draw a fiery magic circle on the Earth to create a ritual space for her ceremonial magic. As was common in the period, Waterhouse repeated his subject on a smaller scale, probably at the request of a collector.

The prime version, also the largest, is now in Tate Britain. Until February 2027 The Magic Circle is on display in Ipswich at Suffolk Archives as part of the Witches, Suffolk's Dark Legacy exhibition.
