The Circle of Gaea is an enchanted circle created for the Elementals to perform the Ritual of the Guardians in order to stop the weather from wreaking havoc all around the world every hundred years. The demon Tempest could control the Elementals' powers while standing inside the Circle.
The location must be reached by earthly means, i.e. walking.[1]
History[]
Every hundred years, the Circle of Gaea appears in a different location. In 2002, it was located by the Crystal Springs Reservoir near the San Andreas Fault. The Charmed Ones, Leo Wyatt, Darryl Morris and the Elementals: Tyler Michaels, Rafe, Gabrielle Chambers, and Muriel Hammond, drove as close as they could to the location, then traveled on foot. They found their way to the Circle where they confronted the demon Tempest. Tempest had walked into the Circle and therefore gained control over the Elemental's powers. With much effort, they defeat the demon and successfully perform the ritual to save the world.
