Wow, a straight forward practical question on alt.magick... Here is a streamlined consecration rite. I should be effective for any tool. I forget where I got the basic form, but I modified it to suit my needs anyway. You should do the same. It is very flexible. I use a formula of elemental consecration, associated with the four directions. Any complete, fourfold system will work. You can easily substitute the powers of the sphinx, etc. Prepare yourself and surroundings by whatever means that you see fit. If that means banishing, do it. If that means a purification bath, do it. If that means eating a chilidog with extra cheese, do it. Take the sword (or whatever) in your hands and sit with it, quietly meditating on its significance and purpose. When you have bonded with it sufficiently, stand up forcefully and say " I, [insert your name or motto here] hereby take this lifeless piece of mater and give unto it life. Creature of Art, be thou a Creature of Life." Pause for a moment, and conceptualize the sword as a living creature. Visualize it as alive, glowing and throbbing with life-force. Walk to whatever corner you feel is appropriate to start with ( I use the east) and lift the sword (or whatever) up, and say "I consecrate and charge this sword [or whatever] by the powers of the forces of Air [or whatever element you associate with the direction that you are facing]. May it serve me well in the East, in this world and in all worlds, and between the worlds, forever unto the ages." Intone A-U-M or any other simple tone/letter set that sufficiently symbolizes the creation and destruction of the universe. Go to the next direction (for example, south). Raise up the tool and say "I consecrate and charge this sword by the powers of the forces of Fire. May it serve me well in the South, in this world and in all worlds, and between the worlds, forever unto the ages. Intone above mentioned symbol of creation and destruction of said universe. Continue for the remaining directions, following out this pattern. When finished, come back to the center, and cradle the tool in your arms, as a mother holding a newborn. Treat it as a living creature from here on forward, forever. Put it away, and eat another chilidog. I hope that was helpful. --Andrew iopan@ix.netcom.com http://www.netcom.com/~iopan
