What does this mean?

I am reading a wicca practice book but I can't understand one page because the language is not clear.

You will be casting a circle within which to work your magic. Begin by taking the long rope, which will form the boundary of your circle. Lay the rope down clockwise (deosil) in a circle around the area in which you will be practicing magic.


Does this mean I have to draw a circle first and then lay the rope on it or does it mean that I have to make a circle from the rope?



What confuses me is the last step that is closing the circle


You may now remove the candles and rope from the circle counter-clockwise (widdershins) and clean and tidy the space.



It says you may now remove the candles and rope from the circle.?


I would interpret it as the circle is already drawn there
