|
|
|
|||
|
|
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.)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PRESENTATION FOR CHALICE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lady Freya, Keeper of Femininity, bless this chalice. Let it be as Thy
|
|||
|
|
cauldron, a vessel of productivity that it may be worThy to dispense Thy
|
|||
|
|
bounty. Let it be used in Thy service and in the service of humanity. Let it
|
|||
|
|
be so bound that no harm may come of it to any being, but let it rather be an
|
|||
|
|
instrument of good-will and understanding; of loving harmony. To Thy sacred
|
|||
|
|
self I dedicate this vessel, (name of vessel), that it and I may long be of
|
|||
|
|
service to Thee.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lord Thor, companion to the Lady, champion of the Gods, bless this chalice and
|
|||
|
|
keep watch over it. Guard the works which come forth from it, that they ever
|
|||
|
|
be in the service of Thee and Thy Lady, that they be of service to humankind,
|
|||
|
|
and that they abide by the laws of harmony. To Thee I vow I shall use it for
|
|||
|
|
Her sacred purposes, and for no other.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So mote it be.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PRESENTATION FOR ATHAME:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lord Thor, thunderer & hammer wielder, bless this athame. Let it be as the
|
|||
|
|
spring rains which fall upon the earth to cause Her to bring forth Her bounty.
|
|||
|
|
Let it quicken my hopes and dreams, yet keep them from causing harm. Let it
|
|||
|
|
guide them in the harmony of the seasons, bringing forth only good for all.
|
|||
|
|
Lord Thor, bless this athame, (name of athame), that it be used ever in the
|
|||
|
|
worship and honor of the Gods.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lady Freya, companion to the Thunderer, lover of the Gods, bless this athame
|
|||
|
|
that it shall bring forth joy, and shall cause no pain nor disharmony to any.
|
|||
|
|
I dedicate this athame (name athame), symbol of the Defender and Rain Maker,
|
|||
|
|
to Thy service. May it ever bring Thee joy and pride.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So mote it be.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
well as these.)
