Consecrations, I: The Athame
Ritual ingredients necessary: a knife (preferably black-handled and double-edged, but this isn't
essential); incense (to represent fire and air); salt water (to represent water and earth); a chalice of wine;
magnet or lodestone; earth (a bowl full or potted plant will do, but if you do this ritual outside just use
the earth where you are standing); point candles and a center candle.
Procedure: Cast the circle. Invoke the Goddess and god. Take the bowl of salt water, and plunge the
athame into it, saying something to the effect of:
"Blessed be thou, blade of iron. By art made, by art consecrated. By water and earth I purify thee."
Pass the athame through the smoke of the incense, saying:
"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.)
