Reference Material: D. J. Conway's "Dancing With Dragons"

This is the ritual I use for blessing and consecrating my ritual tools.It is best performed on the Night of the Full moon or at Bright Moon although it can be performed at any time that I wish my Dragon co-magicians to add their power and blessing to any other tools I might acquire.I also use this ritual to repurify my tools .For this ritual I find these tools most useful:

Dragon Pentacle,Pentacle Disk,Incense Burner, Wine Chalice,Water Chalice,Salt Dish,Sword and Wand.

Note:If a item is missing remember it is possible to use regular household items until other items are acquired.It is important that I believe that these items are extensions of my Magick and I know that my Dragon Companions understand and will help me acquire those items that befit me.If I don't have wine for my ritual I substitute apple cider,grape juice,fruit juice or even soda for this ritual or even any other rituals for that matter.

Setting up my ritual area:

I place my altar in the center of my ritual area so that I can face East. I light my two altar candles { Black on the left and White on the right to balance the Energies } .I play soft music in the background usually only instrumental, but other kinds depending on what draws me.The playing of soft music in the background serves to purposes:

Sets Mood

Masks Minor Noise

Now that my ritual area is set up I am ready to cast my circle,before doing so I make sure I have everything that I need for the Ritual I am about to perform because it is highly recommended that once my circle is cast I do not leave it.I also realize and so do my Dragons that there are times that I must leave the Cast Circle .At times like these I create a doorway in my circle so that I can leave it without having to cast the circle again.I create this doorway in the circle by going to the boundary of the circle and with the forefinger of my power hand I start a point on the ground to the left and bring it up a little taller than I am andextend it to the right just so I can step through .I complete the door by bringing my finger down to the right all the way to the ground.I then am able to step through the Doorway .Once through the Doorway I turn around and follow the same procedure I did to open it but this time I close the Door.To reenter the circle I create and open another door and go through it and close it again. While doing this I remember that I am dealing with mischievous creatures in this form of Magick . Dragon Power is totally different and unpredictable .If I am frivolous and half-hearted in my practice of Dragon Magick it can even be dangerous.

Casting my circle:

I begin by going to the East and with the forefinger of my power hand I draw my magickal circle on the ground by pointing to the ground and picturing a great flame coming from it .With that flame I move clockwise around my ritual area and end by overlapping in the East. While drawing the circle I say:

^{By Dragon Power,This Circle Is Sealed}

Return to altar and place a small amount of Frankincense on the burning charcoal in the incense burner,point forefinger to burner and say:

^{By Dragon Power ,I Call You Purified}

Lift up the burner and carry it around the edge of cast Circle clockwise beginning and ending in the East. Return burner to the altar and slowly pass the Pentacle Disk through the incense smoke and say:

^{Element of Spirit,By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified}

Lay the Pentacle Disk upon altar and place Salt Dish upon it. With forefinger of power hand circle the dish three times clockwise and say:

^{Out Of The Darkness Of Earth And Sea Comes The Blessed Salt, By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified}

Sprinkle a few grains of Salt on all four corners of the altar,this purifies it and can be done at any time during ritual or as a cleansing if someone has messed about with the altar. Once altar is purified pick up Dragon Pentacle,pass it slowly through the incense smoke and say:

^{Element Of Spirit,By Dragon Power,I Call You Purified}

With Dragon Pentacle in Power Hand go to Eastern Quarter,face East and say:

^{Dragons Of Air Behold Your Symbol and Ally}

Move clockwise to the South,hold up the Dragon Pentacle,say:

^{Dragons Of Fire Behold Your Symbol And Ally}

Go to the West,hold up the Dragon Pentacle ,say:

^{Dragons Of Water Behold Your Symbol And Ally}

Finish by going North, hold up the Dragon Pentacle,say:

^{Dragons of Earth Behold Your Symbol And Ally}

Return to the altar,lay aside the Dragon Pentacle and take up the Sword.Touch it briefly to the Pentacle Disk,pass through incense smoke,say:

^{Sword Of Fire, O name of Sword By Dragon Power,I Call You Purified}

Hold Sword a few moments before Dragon Pentacle.Put Sword down pick up the Dagger ,touch it to Pentacle Disk,pass thrugh incense smoke,say:

^{Dagger Of Fire,O name of Dagger By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified}

Hold Dagger a few moments before Dragon Pentacle. For each tool I set it briefly on the Pentacle Disk,pass it through the incense smoke,when finished with the Call, hold tool before Dragon Pentacle before returning it to altar.

Water Chalice:

^{Chalice Of Water By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified}

Wine Chalice:

^{Chalice Of Earth By Dragon Power,I Call You Purified}

Dragon Bowl:

^{Bowl Of Earth,You Holder Of Lands Far Distant And Near, By Dragon Power ,I Call You Purified}

Gem Bowl:

^{Bowl Of Earth,You Holder Of Gems Bright And Powerful,By Dragon Power I Call You Purified}

Wand:

^{Wand Of Air,Wielder Of Might And Magick By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified}

Staff:

^{Staff Of Spirit,Authority And Power Are Yours,By Dragon Power,I Call You Purified}

Water bottles:

^{Containers Of Water,Holder Of Great Seas And Rivers,By Dragon Power I Call You Purified}

Gong,finger cymbals,or bell:

^{You Element Of Air,Whose Musical Notes Reach To The Dragon Worlds,By Dragon Power I Call You Purified}

Mirror:

^{Eye Of The Dragon,You Element Of Earth,By Dragon Power I Call You Purified}

Herbs and Oils consecrate them by circling three times with wand ,say:

^{Herbs ( Oils ) Of Earth,Given By Dragons Of Light And Darkness,By Dragon Power I Call You Purified}

After the calls are made it is an excellent time to chant and use free-form dancing.Invite the Dragons to share in raised Energy and joy of being a Magician. Talk to them about hopes and dreams and listen to see if they have any thoughts or suggestion and words of encouragement ,this is a opportunity to forge close friendships with the Dragons.

Closing the Ritual:

Take Sword in Power Hand,wand or staff in the other.Hold Sword up in salute,go to East,say:

^{Dragons Of Air,Behold The Tools Of Magick,Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let Us Be One In Magick.Farewell,O Dragons Great And Wise.}

Clockwise to the South,say:

^{Dragons Of Fire,Behold The Tools Of Magick,Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let Us Be One In Magick.Farewell O Dragons Great And Wise.}

Go to the West,say:

^{Dragons Of Water,Behold The Tools Of Magick,Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let Us Be One In Magick.Farewell,O Dragons Great And Wise}

Go to North,say:

^{Dragons Of Earth,Behold The Tools Of Magick,Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let Us Be One In Magick.Farewell ,O Dragons Great and Wise.}

Return to altar,point the sword at the Dragon Pentacle,say:

^{Dragons Of Spirit,Highest Of Dragons And Most Powerful,Bless This Altar With Your Fire.Let Us Be One In Magick.Farewell,O Dragons Great And Wise.}

With a backward sweep of the Sword across the boundary of the circle ,cut the circle.Extinguish the altar candles.Leave the ritual tools on or around the altar overnight to be further empowered.The Dragons may inspect them during this time and add special blessings to them.

It is important to realize that I work with Dragons as partners and Co-magicians and I have to be firm in my intentions but willing to listen to their point of view.A magician tries to gain control over Dragons at his/own peril.

All Rituals when done in the practice of Dragon Magick can be inserted in the proper place of the
