Consecration Ritual for the Chalice

1. Watchtower Ritual or SIRP

2. West. Hold Cup in left hand. In right hand hold the Rainbow Wand by amber stripe ascribed to Cancer representing the element Water.

O Thou who art timeless, thou who art Mother and Father of all things, Thou who dost clothe Thyself with the forces of nature as we don a robe, by Thy Holy Divine Name EL* where, too, Thou art known in this quarter by the secret name MEARAB* (Me-ah-rahb), I beseech Thee to grant me strength and inner vision as I search for inner wisdom within Thy hidden light.

I humbly request, as a student of Thy mystic laws, that Thou mayest cause Thy archangel GAHB-RAY-EL* to guide me on my holy journey.  Please also direct Thy angel TALIAHAD* to watch over me and protect me as I traverse the mystic pathways of the universe.

May the ruler of the Water, the powerful prince THARSIS* (Tahr-sis), by the permission of the Eternal One, increase and strengthen the secret forces and virtues of this Cup so that I may use it to perform those magickal rituals for which it has been fashioned.  It is to this end that I now perform this rite of consecration in the presence divine of EL*.

3. Place Rainbow Wand on altar with white end pointing East.

4. West. Trace Invoking Pentagram of Water over the Cup.

By the three holy names of God borne upon the banners of the West EMPEH ARSEL GAIOL (Em-peh-heh Ahr-sell Gah-ee-ohl), I summon Thee, oh great king of the West RA AGIOSEL (Eh-rah Ah-jee-oh-sell) to be here now, to increase the effect of this ritual whose purpose it is to consecrate this magickal Cup.  Give it power enow to be more than capable in all works of Water so that by it I may find a strong defense and powerful weapon to direct the spirits of the elements as is dictated by the One whom naught but silence can express.

Oh mighty princes of the Great Western Quadrangle, I invoke you and ask that ye hear my petition and be here now!  Bestow upon this Cup the strength and purity whereof ye are masters so that its outward and material form may be a true symbol of its invoked inner and spiritual force.

5. Circumambulate clockwise. Hold Cup above head.

6. South.

O thou glorious angel HNLRX (Heh-nu-el-rex) thou who rulest the fiery aspects of Water, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Cup those magickal powers which thou dost rule that with it I may also govern those spirits over whom thou art Lord.

7. West.

O thou glorious angel HTDIM (Heh-tah-dee-mah) thou who rulest the pure aspects of Water, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Cup those magickal powers which thou dost rule that with it I may also govern those spirits over whom thou art Lord.

8. East.

O thou glorious angel HTAAD (Heh-tah-ah-dah) thou who rulest the airy aspects of Water, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Cup those magickal powers which thou dost rule that with it I may also govern those spirits over whom thou art Lord.

9. North.

O thou glorious angel HMAGL (Heh-mah-gee-ehl) thou who rulest the earthy aspects of Water, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Cup those magickal powers which thou dost rule that with it I may also govern those spirits over whom thou art Lord.

10. Use the Cup to perform the Lesser Invoking Ritual of the Pentagram (LIRP; tracing the Invoking Pentagram of Water in the quarters)
