"Blessed be thou, blade of iron. By art made, by art consecrated. By fire and air I charge thee."
Hold the blade in the flame of your center candle until it is heated, then plunge it into the wine, saying:
"Blessed be thou, blade of iron. By art made, by art consecrated. Banish what I would have thee banish.
So mote it be. " (do this three times.)
Rub the magnet along the blade of the athame, away from yourself, saying:
"Blessed be thou, blade of iron. By art made, by art consecrated. Attract what I would have thee attract.
So mote it be." (do this three times.)
Plunge the blade into the earth, saying:
"Blessed be thou, blade of iron. By art made, by art consecrated. Be used in the service of our Mother
the Earth. So mote it be." (do this three times.)
If you are outside, you may choose to leave the knife in the earth for three days, as is traditional; but
this is not essential. When you take it out of the earth the third time, kiss the blade, and say:
"Blessed be thou, blade of iron. By art made, by art consecrated. I consecrate thee with a kiss. Serve me
well. As I do will, so mote it be."
You can paint your Magickal name in runes on the handle or scribe them into the blade, if you wish. If
you haven't yet decided on a Magickal name, wait until your initiation to do it.
This is the Magickal working for this circle, and can be followed by a pathworking if desired, or you
may go directly to the cakes and wine, to be followed by the formal Leave to Depart to the directions
and the Gods.
It isn't necessary to use the exact words given; they are traditional in many Circles, but your own words,
spoken in sincerity from your heart, are the best Magick you can use. Just remembe that your athame is
the keen blade of your mind, which is used to delineate the difference between the worlds, between one
state of awareness and another. Keep that in mind when you cast a circle.
Consecrations, II: The Wand
Ritual ingredients necessary: a wand (must be at least the length from your elbow to longest fingertip,
but may be as long as you like over that--see Robert Graves' The White Goddess for tree symbolism);
incense; a bowl of salt water; candles; almond oil (symbolizing the Sun); your athame.
Procedure: Cast the Circle. Invoke the Goddess and God. Take the bowl of salt water and sprinkle over
the length of the wand, saying:
"Blessed be thou, wand of art. By art made, by art consecrated. By water and earth I purify thee."
Pass the wand through the smoke of the incense, saying:
"Blessed be thou, wand of art. By art made, by art consecrated. By fire and air I charge thee."
Take your athame and carve your Magickal name in runes on the wand, saying:
"Blessed be thou, wand of art. By art made, by art consecrated. Be thou an expression of my will. So
mote it be."
(If you have not yet picked a Magickal name, just carve your initials on the wand, and carve your
Magickal name when you choose one.)
Take a few drops of almond oil and rub them between your hands. Anoint the wand, top to bottom and
