CONSECRATION OF CHALICE, ATHAME OR OTHER 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.)
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
(This ritual, with suitable changes, may be used to dedicate other tools as
|
||
well as these.)
