About

Summoning Circle is an exploitable emojipasta used to make a circle of candles around something or someone the participant wants to summon.

Origin

In Wicca and other related magic rituals a circle is used as a protective barrier for the magician and the summoned.[5]
Traditionally, circles were believed by ritual magicians to form a protective barrier between themselves and what they summoned.[6] Twitter user parodied this practice with emojis.

On February 26th, Twitter user Mashihology[2] created the first known example of the candle emoji circle, summoning magnum. They tweeted "summoning circle, hope this works" (shown below). The tweet gained 122 retweets and 336 likes in two weeks.
