Consecrating Tools

Crafting tools are nothing if they aren't consecrated properly.  Consecration purifies by means of salt, water, and incense.  The salt, water, and incense stand for the four elements of the Wise - Earth, Water, and Fire, together with Air - symbolically constituting the basis for the material universe, in the language of alchemy and Witchcraft.  By consecrating anything, you are, in effect, using these basic constituents to "wash" the article of all extraneous vibrations, prior to recharging it with your own will and concentrated power.  Consecration must take place before a circle is cast, as of course the tools are used in magickal rites.

Supplies:

Representation of Goddess and God
Bowl of Water
Bowl of Salt, Rocks, or Earth
Incense
White Candle

Cast the Circle:
"I invoke and call upon thee O Mother Goddess, who shines for all, who flows through all. Maiden, Mother and Crone, I invite you to my circle.  Touch us, change us, make us whole."

Hold the Tool in Your Hands:
"Before these spirits, I bring (name of tool) to be dedicated to the service of the Lady and the Lord."

Place the tool on the Pentacle.  Touch it with your Projective Hand:
"I consecrate you, O (object) of (material) to cleanse and purify you to serve me within the magick circle.  In the name of the Mother Goddess and Father God, you are consecrated."

Pick up the tool and touch it to the earth, pass it through the incense smoke, through the candle flame, and sprinkle with water.  Then hold the tool to the sky:
"Lady and Lord, bless this (tool).  Let it be pure for my workings and bind it so that no harm may come of it.  Keep watch over it, and guard the works which come from it.  I dedicate this (tool) to do service.  So mote it be."

Thank the Goddess and God:
"Lady and Lord, thank you for sharing this time with us.  My thanks for watching over us, guarding and guiding us. Go if you must, stay if you will, but remain always in our hearts and know that you are always welcome here.  So mote it be."

Close the Circle.

SIMPLE CONSECRATION:
Touch the tool to a pentacle
