Consecrating a Sword or Athame
|
||
|
||
Lay sword (or athame) on pentacle, preferably by, and touching, another,
|
||
consecrated, weapon. The man asperges them with consecrated salt and water,
|
||
whereupon the woman picks up the weapon to be consecrated and passes it through
|
||
the imcense smoke and replaces it on the pentacle. Both lay their right hands
|
||
upon the weapon and press down, saying:
|
||
|
||
Both: "I conjure thee, O Sword (Athame), by these Names, Abrahach, Abrach,
|
||
Abracadabra, that thou servest me for a strength and defence in all
|
||
magical operations against all mine enemies, visible and invisible.
|
||
I conjure thee anew by the Holy Name Aradia and by the Holy Name
|
||
Cernunnos; I conjure thee, O Sword (Athame), that thou servest me
|
||
for a protection in all adversities; so aid me now !"
|
||
|
||
Again the man asperges, and the woman censes, and the weapon is returned to
|
||
the pentacle, saying:
|
||
|
||
Both: "I conjure thee, O Sword (Athame) of Steel, by the Great Gods and
|
||
Gentle Goddesses, by the virtue of the heavens, of the stars
|
||
and of the spirits who preside over them, that thou mayest receive
|
||
such virtue that I may obtain the end I desire in all things
|
||
wherein I shall use thee, by the power of Aradia and Cernunnos."
|
||
|
||
The Partner gives the Fivefold kiss unto the owner of the weapon.
|
||
If the owner is not present, or if the weapon is jointly owned by them both,
|
||
the man will give the Fivefold kiss to the woman. For the final kiss upon
|
||
the mouth, the weapon is suspended between their breasts, held there by the
|
||
pressure of their embrace. As they seperate, the owner of the weapon
|
||
immediately uses it to recast the Circle, but without words.
|
||
|
||
Notes: If possible, lay sword with an already consecrated sword or athame.
|
||
It should, if possible, be consecrated by both a man and a woman, both of whom
|
||
are initiated, and both naked as drawn swords. During consecration, press down
|
||
on sword hard with consecrated sword or athame. If possible partake of Cakes
|
||
and Wine first, then Magus should sprinkle with water, Witch should cense in
|
||
First Conjuration, then sprinkle and cense and conjure again with Second
|
||
Conjuration. If true sword and athame are available, a sword and athame can be
|
||
consecrated at the same time in which case Magus should press with sword on
|
||
sword, and Witch with athame on athame, and new sword and athame should touch.
|
||
In any case, when finished the weapon should be handed to new owner with
|
||
Fivefold Salute, and should be pressed against the body for a time to get the
|
||
aura; and it should be in as close connection as possible to the naked body for
|
||
at least a month, i.e. kept under pillow, etc. Do not allow anyone to touch or
|
||
handle any of your tools until thoroughly impregnated with your aura; say six
|
||
months or as near as possible. But a pair working together may own the same
|
||
tools, which will be impregnated with the aura of both.

-They say it comes from GBG's BOS (Text B/C version)
|
||
-They say that he derived it from "The Greater Key of Solomon", but had
|
||
dropped the Hebrew and other magical names by text B (they were in text
|
||
A).
|
||
-See 'Key of Solomon' Book 2, Chapt. VIII. 1st conjuration follows the text
|
||
closely, but 2nd and instructions differ.
|
||
-The Farrars say that GBG's text A version can be found in "The Key of
|
||
Solomon" and "High Magic's Aid"
