A magic circle is a Mandala, sometimes called a Yantra in South Asia.

There are numerous commentaries explaining the esoteric meaning of the
Yantra and the mode of worship, such as the commentary by Lakshmidhara
on Sound Arya Lahari and on the Ananda Lahari, both composed by the Adi
Shankara.

There is a chapter in the Tripura Upanishad and one in the Bhavano
Upanishad and the importance of the importance given to the worship of
Sri Yantra.

Worship of the Sri Yantra is as interesting as it is complex: it is
ritualistic, abstract and esoteric, and yet the Sri Yantra is one of the
most meaningful and useful symbols that has been handed down to us from
the Adi Shankaracharya:

The essence of the vibration is the ecstatic self-recurrent
consciousness.

The most complex yantra, like the Oregon yantra, is the Shri Yantra of
the tantric school of Sri Vidya.

"Mantras, the Sanskrit syllables inscribed on yantras, are essentially
'thought forms' representing divinities or cosmic powers, which exert
their influence by means of sound-vibrations." - Khanna
