GODDESS AND MAGICK
Cleansing and Consecrating Your Magickal Tools
There are many methods of cleansing and consecrating a tool. Some people like to
use herbs, some bury the tool for three days to purify it, some
leave it in the light of the full moon for a night. Whatever method
you choose will work, as long as you feel the tool has been cleansed
and dedicated to its purpose.
Here is an example of ritually Consecrating a Tool:
"Before these assembled spirits I bring (name type of tool) to be
dedicated to the service of the Lady and Lord."
Pass tool three times through smoke of the incense.
"By the power of air, be thou purified. Be thou dedicated to purity
of thought and to harmlessness that all intentions for which thou
art used may harm none and be for the good of all."
Pass tool three times through or over the flame of the fire candle.
"By the power of fire, be thou purified. Be thou dedicated to purity
of desire, and to harmlessness that all goals which thou art doest
help achieve may harm none and be for the good of all."
Take a few drops of water and sprinkle or dab on instrument.
"By the power of water, be thou purified. Be thou dedicated to
purity of emotion, and to harmlessness that all that thou shalt be
used in a spirit of harmony, harming none and for the good of all."
Touch instrument to the stone or salt in north quarter.
"By the power of earth, be thou purified. Be thou dedicated to
steadfastness and purity of purpose, that my will be achieved
without wavering, with harm to none and for the good of all."
If this is a chalice, present it first to the Lady, then to the
Lord, if athame, reverse order. All other instruments use personal
preference, but it is courtesy to present them to Her first.
