Tool Consecration

Set the alter, cast the circle and call the Goddess and God. Place the tool on the pentacle or on a plate of salt. Touch it with the Athame (or projective hand) and say:

"I consecrate you, O knife of steel (or wand of wood, etc.) to cleanse and purify you to serve me within the sacred circle. In the names of the Mother Goddess and Father God, you are censecrated."

Send energy into the tool, cleansing it of all negativity and past associations. Now pick it up and speinkle with salt, pass it through the incense smoke, through the candle flame and sprinkle with water, calling upon the Spirits of the Elements to consencrate it. Then hold to the sky and say:

"I charge you by the Old Ones:
By the omnipotent Goddess and God:
By the virtues of the Sun, Moon and Stars:
By the powers of the Earth, Air, Fire and Water:
That I shall obtain all that I desire through you.
Charge this by your powers, Old Ones!"

The tool should immediately be put to use to strengthen and bind the consecration.
