Beginner's Guide: How to Cast a Circle

Rituals and spells are abundant in the world of witchcraft. For every one that exists, there is another being created at that very same moment as witches knead their own intentions into a practice that can aid them in getting the outcome that they want. In many rituals and spells, there is often the call to “Cast your circle’. For a practicing witch, this is a fairly simple task. But for those new to witchcraft, it’s important to know exactly why and how circles are cast.

What is Circle Casting?

When one is casting a circle, they are essentially setting up a space in which they are going to carry out a certain spell or ritual. The space, is of course, in the shape of a circle, for a number of reasons….but we will get to that. First it’s important to know what purpose the circle provides. Plain and simple, the space within the circle is meant to cause a forcefield of sorts. It acts to protect us as we work with both the power within us and the energy that surrounds us. On a deeper level, casting a circle is a way for us to connect the physical world to the spiritual one. It is point A, for the practicing witch, from which she can reach multitudes of others.

Another reason circles are often cast, is to diminish the distractions the outside world can have on your magick. There are so many different ways for a spell to go awry and distractions are the main way in which the intention of a spell or ritual does not provide the outcome you are striving for. Think about it: How easily do you find that your mind wanders, even when you are trying to be solely focused on a task? Casting a circle is meant to ground you and direct your attention only to the space you have created in which to practice.

We also appreciate the drama of circle casting. As you build magickal energy within your circle, it accumulates, filling the space with intention and desire. Once the circle is broken, all the magick you have manifested within the confines of your circle are then released into the world.

It is important to note, however, that the circle you create is not just here on the physical plane. Instead, you should envision your circle as a sphere. In the middle, on the physical plane is where you reside. But, the circle also extends above and below you. The power that the circle contains is much greater when you are able to think about it as a safe space that surrounds you, rather than just a self-made circle of stones or salt in front of, behind, and to the left and right of you.

How to Cast a Circle

As with most rituals in witchcraft, the first step when one wishes to cast a circle is to gather all of the materials that will be needed. This includes the regular tools you would use to cast a circle, as well as any additional items you need for the specific intention you are going to be focusing on once within the circle.

The next thing you have to do is locate the cardinal directions (North, South, East and West) and mark them. Once you do this one time, you won’t have to repeat it with future practices. However, you can always change how you choose to mark them. There are a number of items that are commonly used including colored candles, painted rocks, jars with things that represent each element and more. However, if you do not wish to mark them, you can also simply acknowledge where they are located and move on. Personally, I prefer to mark the cardinal directions as the markers are helpful in identifying the full circumference of the circle you are casting right at the start.

You will then need to finish building out your circle. Most commonly the circle is drawn with stones or salt. Knowing the boundaries of the circle fully will ensure that you do break it while you are in the middle of your practice. Although, not all choose to completely outline their circle.

Now is the time to create a blank slate on which you can begin to manifest. Cleaning the energy within the circle doesn’t have to be extremely thorough but should always be completed. You can clean the energy by using your broom to sweep up within the circle, followed by sage or incense to completely eliminate any negative energy that may be hanging around. You can also, should you choose to skip sweeping and smudging, simply visualize the space becoming purified.

There are certainly many different schools of thought on how to properly cast a circle. Personally, we think this practice is up for interpretation and what feels right to each individual witch is the method that should be used when they are casting their own circle.

The one thing that most of these practices have in common, however, is the order of operations. The basic steps to casting your circle are as follows: call the elements, call deities, complete spell work, thank deities and release them, thank elements and release them, lastly cut the circle. Below you can find a breakdown of each of the steps.

Calling the Elements (or Corners)

Each of the cardinal directions is associated with an element. If you ever spent a slumber party in the early 2000s watching ‘The Craft’ you certainly know this. As it is, East is associated with Air, South is associated with Fire, West is associated with Water and North is associated with Earth. This is also the order most will use when they are casting their circle while calling to each element (either silently or out loud), walk around your circle clockwise. If you have a wand or athame, you can use it at this point to aid you in visualizing the elements joining your circle, empowering the corner you are calling and raising the walls of your circle in the process.

This process is also known as “Calling Quarters” in Wicca.

Your chant can be as specific as you wish. But to get you started, you may want to try chants that are widespread and have been used by other witches to get results. Below are two options for you to choose from.

Calling to Deities

Now that you have called the corners, it is time to call upon any deity that you desire to work with. You can simply ask them to join you in your circle for what reason it may be (help you in your workings, watch your workings, to be present in order to guide and protect you, etc). We will go more in depth where deities are concerned in an upcoming post.

Spell Work

At this point in the process, your circle is officially cast. You can move forward completing whatever spell or ritual you had planned.

Thank Your Deities

When your spell work is complete, you will begin taking down your circle by first thanking any deities that you called to join you and let them know that they are free to leave you now if they would like.

Thank the Elements

You can now thank the elements before letting them know that they too are free to leave. Often, witches choose to thank and release them in the opposite order they were called (beginning with North and ending with East) while others keep the same order they originally called the elements in (beginning with East and ending with North). The choice is yours.

Cutting the Circle

Now comes the very last step in your process of casting a circle and that is to open the circle and end your practice. In order to open or “cut the circle” is fairly simple. All you really need to do is visualize the circle lowering its walls and opening up, releasing your magick into the world. The time after cutting a circle is a good time to write anything down about your spell or ritual in your Book of Shadows or grimoire. Reflect on how you felt your circle aided (or didn’t aid) you. As well as things you may want to do differently or try out in the future.

As we mentioned previously, there is not just one way to cast a circle, so if you feel as though this way did not provide you with the outcome you wanted, you may want to consider trying variations of this method in the future as they may be able to get you a better result. Try using different spells, calling different deities, incorporating different tools. There is a circle to be cast for every witch, she just has to find the right way to create it.

Another thing with Gwendolyn in it! Because people seem to have really liked the last one. Again I am not diagnosed with autism myself and my experience with writing characters with this disability is very limited. I do not mean to steretype anybody and I am very open to criticism. It's a direct sequel to the last one where she showed up in the past. - "So, you like drawing?" Ben asked Gwendolyn as they were sitting around the headquarters, he watched in wonder and admiration as she drew complicated patterns on the sheet of paper they gave her earlier. They thought she could communicate better with them that way but apparently his (maybe) daughter had other plans. "See, there is no way she could be Ben's kid." Argit threw in again and Ben glared at him, this time it was personal, "I am quiet good in the art department myself, thank you very much." He informed the alien. Argit raised a doubtful eyebrow at him and Ben pouted, he was! "Miss Gwendolyn? Ben asked you if you enjoy drawing." Rook asked her again, they had realized that this helped to get a response from her. Her former unease around Rook seemed to have disappeared thankfully, but she still seemed very shy and uneasy around any other plumber that approached them. Gwendolyn looked up from her drawing and nodded, smiling shyly as she showed off her dragon made out of flower petals and geometric shapes, it truly was impressive, especially considering how young she seemed to be. "Cool Dragon." Ben exclaimed, the found feeling he's been feeling for her since she showed up seemed to become even stronger the more he learned about her. Gwendolyn's eyes widened with excitement as Ben said that and she tiped the plumber's symbol at the neck of her dress, suddenly a hologram of a dragon appeared infront of them, which then changed into various other fantasy creatures. "You like this stuff a lot." Ben commented semi amused with the clear excitement she was showing. Gwendolyn nodded furiously, moving her hands around. Ben found it a pitty that he couldn't understand what she was saying. He already memorized a few of the signs she used but he wasn't anywhere near understanding her. "Oh wow, I didn't know there was so much variety in Earth mythology." Argit schimed in, "So you say this guy inspired this whole slenderman thing? Yikes." Ben and Rook stared at the con man like he suddenly grew a second head. "What?" "You little shit." - The rest of of their time together was spent peacefully until Paradox showed up to take Gwendolyn home, ....or at least that's what Ben wished would have happened, sadly his life wasn't giving him a break today. Instead they were chasing a giant Racoon with Gwendolyn clinging to his arm like it was her life line. "Rook! Do you have to drive like this?!" He screamed, which was a bad idea because Gwendolyn seemed to be upset by it. "Excuse me?! I am doing my best to not lose animo!" His partner countered. "He's riding on a giant mammal! How can we possible lose him?!" Argit, who was sitting on Gwendolyn's lap for whatever reason chimed in. "I might lose my breakfast here!" They got the report on Animo causing chaos not long after Gwen and Kevin left and to say things weren't going smoothly was a understatment to say the least. Gwendolyn refused to stay at the base without him so they had to take her with him. The car ride got more chaotic per second and Gwendolyn's grip on his arm became tight to the point where Ben got concerned he might need to cut it off. He had no idea why Argit was even in the car and why Gwendolyn let him sit in her lap and he was starting to feel a bit claustrophobic. "I think he's slowing down!" Rook yelled and Ben could feel the relieve wash over him. "Thank fuck!" Argit screamed vocalizing what they all where thinking as the Racoon came to a stop infront of the nature museum. Ben facepalmed, somehow this felt like a deja vu. He climed out of the van telling Gwendolyn to stya behind. "Keep an eye on her." He told Argit who simply raised a eyebrow, "You're lucky she's so cute or I would high tail it out of here." Ben roled his eyes, "Trust me, in any other situation I would love to have you nowhere near me or anybody I care about but special circumstances require desperate actions." Also he seemed to be one of the few people Gwendolyn felt at peace with and keeping her calm and comfortable took priority over his own feud with Argit. He activated the omnitrix as he ran twoards the giant racoon, "It's hero time!" He shouted as he let the familiar sensation of the transformation take over him. "What the?! New alien?!" He took in his new form with wonder, his skin was a blueish purple, he could tell that much, his hands were humanoid but there was a thin kind of membrane between his fingers he noted, for swimming? His hair brushed infront of his eyes, it was longer and felt...sharper. He was wearing a black body suit with a number of translucent green scarves wrapped around his waist. "Well what am I suppose to do with this guy?!" "Ben! You are a Aquamarina!" Rook shouted over to him as he was distracting the racoon, Ben frowned, "A bit more info maybe?!" He shouted as he doged a ball of spit the racoon shot twoards them, 'Great.' He thought, 'Acid spiting Racoon.' He swiftly took cover behind a big bolder the Racoon teared off from one of the buildings earlier. "Aquamarins are aquatic mamals known for their hydorkenetic performance art!" Rook shouted over from his own hiding spot. "And that's suppose to tell me what now?!" "They make water float by dancing ya dingus!" Argit shimed in from behind the van door. Ben felt the blood drain from his face, "Dancing?!" He was suppose to dance?! He only knew how to do like one dance and that was a pair dance he did with Gwen and Lucy whenever there is a family thing going on and there wasn't any big water bodies around anyway! How was he suppose to do anything with this guy?! What was the omnitrix thinking?! He tried changing into another alien but it didn't work, great, it was in one of *these* moods. "Alright omnitrix, we can do experimental stuff like this some other time, now let me turn into Way Big!" he tried to argue with the device but sadly with little success. "Well screw you too then!" "Ben look out!" Rook shouted, Ben looked up to see the giant Racoon now loom over him, he swallowed thickly as the animal hissed at him, acid dripping down it's snoot leaving scares on it's skin, he stared at the black pain filed eyes, ignoring Animo's prunkful villan speach. He knew full well this creature might be the death of him but he couldn't help felling pity for it, it didn't ask for any of this to happen, it was at the wrong place at the worst possible time, just another victim of fates twisted master plan, Ben himself was one too, wasn't he? Ben couldn't move as the animal stared him down, even as it raised it's massive claw he could not move, he simply stood there, closing his eyes to await the impact. He could hear Rook crying out to him and even Argit seemed to be telling him to move, but it was too late and Ben knew that. He thought about his future, about Kenny and Gwendolyn and suddenly he felt so much regret. A good moment nothing happened, then a bright light flashed before his eyes. For a split second he thought he was dead, but then he felt something warm brush his face, he opened up his eyes to see a pink protection barrier surround him, the mana danced around him in almost petal like shapes, brushing his face. "Gwen?" Ben asked in beliverment, wondering when his cousin came back staring at the girl infront of him. However as his eyes adjusted to the light he noticed that it wasn't his cousin who saved him, Gwendolyn stood infront of him protectivly shielding him from the strike. She fired a energy ball twoards the Racoon, it passed through the barrier without problems which puzzled Ben as his cousin never has done anything like this. The energy ball exploded in a bright purple light infront of the Racoon's eyes, blinding it and causing it to stumble backwards, on it's way down it managed to rip a water hydrant open, causing water to flod the street. Ben blinked as Gwendolyn turned to him, 'she takes after her aunt.' He couldn't help thinking as she hurried over to him, pulling him into a bone crushing hug Ben returned the embrace, squeezing the little girl in his arms. "Ben!" Rook and Argit both exclaimed as they hurried over to him. "Are you alright?!" His partner asked with clear concern in his voice. "You little fucker almost caused us a heart attack!" Argit schimed in right after, Ben raised an eyebrow and the alien seemed to just now have realized what he said, "I mean..Rook and Gwenny almost had an heart attack, I couldn't care less." He avoided looking at him and Ben had the odd suspension that he was blushing under his fur, so he does care about him, Ben didn't know how to handel that knowledge really. "Well that happened. So any idea how we can stop this big guy and save him from Animo?" Rook and Argit looked at him like he grew a second head, "Save it?! Dude this thing almost teared you in half!" "Well he isn't in control of himself, this whole situation isn't his fault and I refuse to harm him more then necessary." The alien's exchanged a look. "Okay, first of all Benjamin, I know biology isn't your strongest subject but I'm pretty sure this is a female racoon." Ben blushed as Gwendolyn chuckled. "Second, I don't know what caused your sudden animal rights activist phase but I for my part think our survival is more important." Argit finished and Rook noded, looking apologetic at his partner. Ben glared at them and directed his attention twoards Gwendolyn who seemed to be lost in thoughts. "What do you think?" He asked, as if she would answer him. Gwendolyn suddenly jumped up and down making the water around them splash, Ben was caught ouf guard as she grabed his hands and swirled them around in circlea. The water started to move around them, floating, wobbly and in uneven chuncks but still floating non the less. Ben took a minute to understand her plan but as he did he could feel a smile spread on his cheeks. "You want to dance with me so we can get the control device away from Animo! That's a great idea!" "No, no, changing alien and kicking butt is a great idea. This is a ridiculously dangerous idea." Argit threw in again and Ben frowned, "We don't have much choice anyways, the omnitrix is in one of it's moods again and won't let me change alien." Argit stared at him with a expression Ben couldn't quiet pin point at first, was he concerned?? Ben didn't quiet know how to handel this kind of revelation either. The alien the sighed, "Okay, Rook and me will distract that thing, you two do that dancing stuff." He said finally and Ben let out a gasp of air, Rook too looked quiet shock at the other alien's sudden change in behavior. "I um yeah. What he said." Rook stammered in a perplexed manner as he followed Argit's lead. "Well I guess you know how this works?" Ben asked as he reached for Gwendolyn's hand, she smiled at him in a brilliant white smile and Ben felt this foundness bubble up inside him again. They start dancing, or at least Ben attempted to, but it was easier said then done without music. "Sorry!" He said as he steped on her foot. "What are you guys doing! Get on to it already!" Argit shouted as he avoided yet another strike from the racoon. "You try dancing without music!" Ben shoot back, that seemed to have given the alien a idea. "Cover for me!" He shouted to Rook as he dashed twoards their truck, "What?! Argit! You know this kind of animals make me nervous!!" Ben's partner shouted after the rat like creature, but he did as he was told anyways, sending warning shoots in the racoon's direction. Argit entered the truck hastily, he looked through their music playlists and almost had a heart attack as hardmetal played back at him, 'Red's playlist' he thought to himself and sure enough the playlist was indeed labeled Gwen, he skiped over Ben's and Rook's playlist and went straight for Kevin's, knowing the track he was looking for would be on it, it was a song he once heared in a game ages ago or at least a version of it, Kevin called it a instrumental remix or something, the only reason he even put it on his music list was because he knew it calmed Argit down. "Okay, speakers, speakers, there they are!" He waited for the music to be played over them only to realize nothing was happening. "Seriously?! This things aren't connected to the radio?!" He scofted as he dived down to see if he could rewire their setup. He had to make this work. The image of Ben almost being crushed earlier flashed before his eyes, morphed into the image of blood everywhere and small bodies lying on the ground. He couldn't let this happen again, he couldn't lose again. With that in mind he got to work. "Argit! I could really need some help here!" Rook screamed in direction of the truck, there was a pained groan heared over the speakers followed by a 'I'm working on it' Rook shock his head, whatever he was planing he better does it fast. "Ben! I won't be able to make do with warning shoots much longer!" He informed his partner. "Working on it!" Was again the reply he got as he douged another swall of acid, 'if this ends with holes in my fur I will have racoon for dinner, pretty green eyes will not prevent it.' He thought to himself, annoyed and frustrated even though he knew he wouldn't make true on that threat. He would rather leave this creature unharmed too after all. Suddenly a little smoke cloud emerged from the truck, followed by a melody ranging through the air. Rook watched as Argit, with a bit of his fur slightly burned, exited the truck. "Here! Now you got music!" He shouted twoards Ben as he made his way back to Rook, sqealing twoards the giant mammals direction to grab it's attention. He still wasn't sure if the other alien was really talking to that thing or just made random sounds at it. "Do I want to see what you did in there?" He asked as Argit reached him, the rat like alien raised a eyebrow at him, "Does Ben want to see what you're hiding in there?" Rook felt his face heat up and was thankful as so often, that one couldn't see that through his fur. "I will not complain and you will keep this a secret?" "Sounds like a plan." Ben had to admit, Argit sure was clever, the song wasn't ideal for the dances he knew but it at least had a rhythm he could follow '1 2 3, 1 2 3,' he counted in his head as he fell into the motion alongside Gwendolyn, somehow it suddenly seemed so easy. The movements came like he has done them a billion times before and suddenly the water was swirling around them sparkeling in the bright sun light. They made one last turn together as enough water gathered around them, sending the fountain twoards Animo knocking him off of the racoon. Rook lost no time reaching for the device that controled the racoon, turning her back to her normal size. Argit meanwhile jumped on Animo's head for good measure, "Don't make the glass crack." Rook reminded him, Argit simply scofted, muttering something about deserving it under his breath. Ben smiled at Gwendolyn who gave a shy smile back as the omnitrix transformed him back into his human form. He couldn't help himself as he lifted Gwendolyn off of the ground swirling her around in the air. "This was amazing! You are amazing!" He yelled as Gwendolyn giggled. "Oh no.." Ben paused as he heared his friends dreadful voice, he looked over where the two alien's where hovering over the small racoon lying in the pool of water unmoving, Ben felt something in his stomach twist. He rushed over to them examing the animal, "Is she..." He trailed off, letting the question hang in the open, the older boys exchanged looks, "Not yet." Rook informed him, "But....it does not look very good for her." Ben felt tears well up in his eyes, "Hey Benny...come on, you tried your best to save her." Argit tried to comfort him but Ben just felt numb, he failed, he saves people time and time again but somehow he fails at saving one little racoon who did nothing to deserve this. "Gwendolyn don't!" Rook said suddenly, snapping Ben out of his depressed state. Gwendolyn reached for the racoon, who wasn't even breathing anymore as much as Ben could tell. "Gwendolyn, sweety, it's...it's too late." He tried to tell her, knew that she too wanted to save her, Gwen told him once that healing spells were the most difficult ones to master, if the injury was too severe not even a anodite would be able to heal it and once something was dead nothing could bring it back, he remembered how scared she looked back then. Gwendolyn smiled at him in a reasuring manner and Ben was taken a back as she suddenly started to glow in a bright pink hue. The mana around her started to pulsate into the racoon as the three boys stared in awe and wonder. Ben knew it was futile, knew she couldn't archive the impossible, but for a small second he felt like she could make it better. It ended soon after it started and Ben wanted to lie a hand onto the small girl's shoulder, knew she probably felt horrible right now, but then something happened he could not explain for the life of him. The racoon started to stire, coughing water out, and then climed onto Gwendolyn's shoulder, nuzzeling her face. "Dude!" Argit exclaimed, "Did your daughter just rise the dead?!"

Getting Started With the Mojs Animation Library: The Shape Module

In the previous tutorial, we used mojs to animate different HTML elements on a webpage. We used the library to mainly animate div elements which looked like squares or circles. However, you can use the Html module to animate all kinds of elements like images or headings. If you actually intend to animate basic shapes using mojs, you should probably use the Shape module from the library.

The Shape module allows you to create basic shapes in the DOM using SVG. All you have to do is specify the type of shape that you want to create, and mojs will take care of the rest. This module also allows you to animate different shapes that you create.

In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of the Shape module and how you can use it to create different shapes and animate them.

Creating Shapes in Mojs

You need to instantiate a mojs Shape object in order to create different shapes. This object will accept different parameters which can be used to control the color, size, angle, etc. of the shapes that you create.

By default, any shape that you create will use the document body as its parent. You can specify any other element as its parent using the parent property. You can also assign a class to any shape that you create with the help of the className property. The library will not assign any default class if you skip this property.

Mojs has eight different shapes built in so that you can create them directly by setting a value for the shape property. You can set its value to circle to create circles, rect to create rectangles, and polygon to create polygons. You can also draw straight lines by setting the value of shape to be lines. The library will draw two perpendicular lines if the shape value is cross and a number of parallel lines if the shape is equal. Similarly, zigzag lines can be created by setting the property value to zigzag.

The shape object also has a points property which has different meanings for different shapes. It determines the total number of sides in a polygon and the total number of parallel lines in an equal shape. The points property can also be used to set the number of bends in a zigzag line.

As I mentioned earlier, mojs creates all these shapes using SVG. This means that the Shape object will also have some SVG specific properties to control the appearance of these shapes. You can set the fill color of a mojs shape using the fill property. When no color is specified, the library will use the deeppink color to fill the shape. Similarly, you can specify the stroke color for a shape using the stroke property. When no stroke color is specified, mojs keeps the stroke transparent. You can control the fill and stroke opacity for a shape using the fillOpacity and strokeOpacity properties. They can have any value between 0 and 1.

Mojs allows you to control other stroke-related properties of a shape as well. For instance, you can specify the pattern of dashes and gaps in a stroke path using the strokeDasharray property. This property accepts both strings and numbers as valid values. Its default value is zero, which means that the stroke will be a solid line. The width of a stroke can be specified using the strokeWidth property. All the strokes will be 2px wide by default. The shape of different lines at their end points can be specified using the strokeLinecap property. Valid values for strokeLinecap are butt, round, and square.

Any shape that you create is placed at the center of its parent element by default. This is because the left and right properties for a shape are set to 50% each. You can change the values of these properties to place the elements in different locations. Another way to control the position of a shape is with the help of the x and y properties. They determine how much a shape should be shifted in the horizontal and vertical direction respectively.

You can specify the radius of a shape using the radius property. This value is used to determine the size of a particular shape. You can also use radiusX and radiusY to specify the size of a shape in a particular direction. Another way of controlling the size of a shape is with the help of the scale property. The default value of scale is 1, but you can set it to any other number you like. You can also scale a shape in a particular direction using the scaleX and scaleY properties.

The origin of all these transformations of a shape is its center by default. For example, if you rotate any shape by specifying a value for the angle property, the shape will rotate around its center. If you want to rotate a shape around some other point, you can specify it using the origin property. This property accepts a string as its value. Setting it to '0% 0%' will rotate, scale or translate the shape around its top left corner. Similarly, setting it to '50% 0%' will rotate, scale or translate the shape around the center of its top edge.

You can use all these properties we just discussed to create a large variety of shapes. Here are a few examples:

The shapes created by the above code are shown in the CodePen demo below:

Animating Shapes in Mojs

You can animate almost all the properties of a shape that we discussed in the previous section. For instance, you can animate the number of points in a polygon by specifying different initial and final values. You can also animate the origin of a shape from '50% 50%' to any other value like '75% 75%'. Other properties like angle and scale behave just like they did in the Html module.

The duration, delay and speed of different animations can be controlled using the duration, delay and speed properties respectively. The repeat property also works like it did in the Html module. You can set it to 0 if you want to play the animation only once. Similarly, you can set it to 3 to play the animation 4 times. All the easing values that were valid for the Html module are also valid for the Shape module.

The only difference between the animation capabilities of these two modules is that you cannot specify the animation parameters individually for the properties in the Shape module. All the properties that you are animating will have the same duration, delay, repetitions, etc.

Here is an example where we animate the x position, scale and angle of a circle:

var circleA = new mojs.Shape({ parent: ".container", shape: "circle", left: 175, fill: "red", stroke: "black", strokeWidth: 100, strokeDasharray: 18, isShowStart: true, x: { 0: 300 }, angle: { 0: 360 }, scale: { 0.5: 1.5 }, duration: 1000, repeat: 10, isYoyo: true, easing: "quad.in" });

One way to control the playback of different animations is by using the .then() method to specify a new set of properties to be animated after the first animation sequence has fully completed. You can give all animation properties new initial and final values inside .then(). Here is an example:

var polyA = new mojs.Shape({ parent: ".container", shape: "polygon", fill: "red", stroke: "black", isShowStart: true, points: 4, left: 100, x: { 0: 500 }, strokeWidth: { 5: 2 }, duration: 2000, easing: 'elastic.in' }).then({ strokeWidth: 5, points: { 4: 3 }, angle: { 0: 720 }, scale: { 1: 2 }, fill: { 'red': 'yellow' }, duration: 1000, delay: 200, easing: 'elastic.out' });

Final Thoughts

In this tutorial, we learned how to create different shapes using mojs and how to animate the properties of these shapes.

The Shape module has all the animation capabilities of the Html module. The only difference is that the properties cannot be animated individually. They can only be animated as a group. You can also control the animation playback by using different methods to play, pause, stop and resume the animations at any point. I covered these methods in detail in the first tutorial of the series.

If you have any questions related to this tutorial, feel free to post a comment. In the next tutorial, you will learn about the ShapeSwirl and stagger modules in mojs.
