Following my article on object consecration, I offer you here my complete ritual. As I said in that article, it is essential to respect both the necessary materials and the full ritual process for it to be effective.
Also, I want to specify that this ritual falls within elemental magic, widely used in Wicca. You will thus invoke the 4 elements to serve your intention. Great respect is therefore required.
1. Necessary materials
| For the magic circle | To call the elements |
|
|
2. Day of practice
The consecration ritual should be performed on a Saturday, Saturn’s day, which is favorable for meditation and energetic cleansing.
3. Preliminary precautions
I must give you some advice that may seem obvious but is always good to remember:
-
Make sure to prepare the necessary materials well in advance because, once the magic circle is drawn, it will be impossible to step outside it to fetch a forgotten item. Otherwise, you will have to break the circle and then restart your ritual.
-
Practice pronouncing the incantations correctly. The elements you will call upon are sensitive to your words and your intention.
-
The magic circle can be visualized but this requires some experience. So do not hesitate to draw it physically with salt, rock crystals, or cords.
-
Start by properly drawing your magic circle before beginning your consecration ritual.
-
There are two types of consecration: general or with intention. The ritual I present here is for a general consecration. In the other case, you will need to add a candle of the color of your intention and adapt your incantation.
4. Consecration ritual in Elemental magic
4.1. Setup
Draw your magic circle by setting up the elements in this order:
-
To the north, place the handful of Dead Sea salt in the dish
-
To the east, light your Olibanum incense (resin in a censer or stick)
-
To the south, place your cauldron with sand at the bottom, place the white candle in it and light it
-
To the west, place your chalice containing spring water
4.2. Introduction to the consecration ritual
Once at the center of your circle (with your bell, your athame, and your object to consecrate), focus only on your object and the power of the elements you will call upon. Mark the beginning with a bell sound and anchor your intention by saying these words:
"I call upon you, Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to consecrate this object. I connect with you and respectfully call upon you."
You can now begin the consecration itself.
4.3. Progression of the consecration ritual
Hold your object and handle it with respectful kindness. Go to the north and sprinkle a pinch of salt on it while saying these words:
"By this salt of the Earth, I consecrate you."
Then to the east, pass it through the incense smoke and say these words:
"By this smoke of air, I consecrate you.
Then to the south, pass it above the flame of your candle and say these words:
"By this flame of fire, I consecrate you."
Finally, to the west, sprinkle a few drops of water and say these words:
"By these drops of water, I consecrate you."
4.4. Closing the consecration ritual
Take a moment to meditate and thank the elements you have called upon to consecrate your object:
"Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water, I have called upon you and I thank you for hearing me."
Finally, take your athame and cut the energies by passing in front of each cardinal point in reverse order:
- To the west, release the water
- To the south, release the fire
- To the east, release the air
- To the north, release the earth
Your ritual is now complete and your circle is open. Your object is thus consecrated.
