Consecration of Tools

This absolutely has to be done before using your Tools. There are rituals for each Tool, and the following will serve until you are grounded enough to be able to use a more complicated ritual. To use unconsecrated Tools may make it possible to bring unwanted entities into your home. The list may seem to be involved for a beginner, but it is necessary.

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.)Before these assembled spirits I bring (name type of tool) to be dedicated to the service of the Lady and Lord.
