Re: New Tarot Deck 

Hi there

Just wondering how things are going with you and your tarot readings.  If I might ask what tarot deck do you have?

Re: New Tarot Deck 

Just stumbled upon this thread and realised that I am not too sure how to "consecrate" anything... *blush*

 

As you may have guessed, I am still reading and learning, but none of my studies so far has really laid out a perfect consecration ritual. Anybody got any ideas or suggestions?

Re: New Tarot Deck 

This is so far the best one I could find

The Consecration

As a first step, we should do a physical cleansing of the object, careful to correct every tiny manufacturing defect we might find, as well as dirt or dust it could have. As we do this, we must visualise all the negative energy the object might have leaving it. Once it's free of these, we can move on to the next step, that is the consecration ritual.

To do this, we place whatever we're going to consecrate on the pentacle, and touching it with our projective hand, and using the name and material of the tool, we say (for instance, if it's a sword):

I consecrate you, sword of steel,
to cleanse you and purify you,
to serve me into the circle.
In the name of the Mother Goddes and Father God
you're consecrated.

After this we charge it, rubbing it in a single direction and visualising that it soaks in our energy; we pour some salt, pass it through the smoke of the incense, through the candleflames (or over them) and then pour some water, each time calling the elementals to consecrate it. Some authors suggest the use of a drop of the user's blood mixed in the water to strenghten the bond between user and tool. If we choose to do this, we must be VERY careful: a single drop taken from a finger, using an asceptic needle bought at a chemist, will work.
When we're done, we raise the tool with both hands, saying:

I charge you by the Ancient: the Goddes and the God
for the virtues of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars
by the powers of Air, Fire, Water and Earth
May I get everything I want through you.
Ancient Gods, charge this tool with Your powers.

We lower the tool, and we can start using it.

 

This ritual was taken from "Wicca: A guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunnigham, based on the consecration of ritual implements found in the "Key of Solomon".

That's Something we need to put under the new sson to be  Wicca - Basics Section


"Life's journey is not to arrive at the end safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways totally worn out shouting, "holy sh*t...what a ride!"
