Cone of Power:
The cone of power is created by a generation of energy within a circle. The energy expands into the form of a cone, the base of which runs the diameter of the magic circle. The cone of power can then be directed toward a specific magical goal. Any excess energy is then grounded and returned back to the earth. The energy for this is raised my dancing, chanting, etc. It can be done by a group or by a solitary practitioner. If there are three of you, you could try dancing around the circle while saying a chant associated with your goal. As you do so, try to visualize the energy you are raising forming into a cone. When you feel that you can raise no more energy, focus on releasing the energy toward your goal.

Chanting:
Chanting is the rhythmic repetition of words. Chanting can have a hypnotic effect and allow us to better focus on a spell, or other type of magic, being worked. This allows power/energy to be raised more easily. You can sing the words in a rhythmic tune or chant along to rhythmic drumming, dancing, etc.
The chanting contributes to a rising of excitement, adding to the power and energy that is raised/produced. Gradually allow this energy and emotion to build and then release it for your spell or ritual.
