Consecration Ritual for the Dagger

1. Watchtower Ritual or SIRP

2. East. Hold Dagger in left hand. In right hand hold the Rainbow Wand by orange stripe ascribed to Gemini representing the element Air.

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 YUD-HEH-VAHV-HEH* where, too, Thou art known in this quarter by the secret name MIZRACH*, 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 RAH-FAY-EL* to guide me on my holy journey.  Please also direct Thy angel CHASSAN* to watch over me and protect me as I traverse the mystic pathways of the universe.

May the ruler of the Air, the powerful prince ARIEL*, by the permission of the Eternal One, increase and strengthen the secret forces and virtues of this Dagger 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 YUD-HEH-VAHV-HEH*.

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

4. East. Trace Invoking Pentagram of Air over the Dagger.

By the three holy names of God borne upon the banners of the East ORO IBAH AOZPI (Oh-row Eh-bah-ha Ah-oh-zohd-pee), I summon Thee, oh great king of the East BAITAIVAH (Bah-tah-ee-vah-hah) to be here now, to increase the effect of this ritual whose purpose it is to consecrate this magickal Dagger.  Give it power enow to be more than capable in all works of Air 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 Eastern Quadrangle, I invoke you and ask that ye hear my petition and be here now!  Bestow upon this Dagger 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 Dagger above head.

O thou glorious angel EXGSD (Ex-jazz-dah) thou who rulest the fiery aspects of Air, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Dagger 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 EYTPA (Eh-iht-pohd-ah) thou who rulest the watery aspects of Air, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Dagger 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 ERZLA (Eh-rah-zod-lah) thou who rulest the pure aspects of Air, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Dagger 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 ETNBR (Eht-en-bah-rah) thou who rulest the earthy aspects of Air, I invoke thee.  Be here now!  Bestow upon this Dagger those magickal powers which thou dost rule that with it I may also govern those spirits over whom thou art Lord.
