Consecration of your Wand

A Wand is a magical tool which can be as simple as a tree branch, (Obviously never taken from a live tree without the tree's permission) or an elaborate bejewelled wand topped by a crystal.

Once you have the wand you intend to use, you will need the following items for the consecration ritual which must be carried out in in an unhurried way in an outside space:
A flat area to use as an altar (could be a large stone or clearing on the ground)
Salt.
Water (Never tap.)
2 small bowls you only use for your magical rituals, Place the salt in 1st bowl and the water in the 2nd bowl.
Matches.
Plain candle + Holder (Tea candles will be fine).
Incense sticks + Holder.
Small bottle of Essential Oil (lavender will do).

Small piece of silk fabric to wrap your wand after consecration has been completed.

1. Prepare yourself beforehand by having a ritual bath with 2 drops of the
essential oil in your bathwater to cleanse.

2. Always complete your Protection Spell.

3. Kneel or sit on the ground and light the candle and incense sticks, making sure
that they are firmly placed on the altar space and supported in their respective
holders.

4. Stand up and cast a circle around you.(you can do this in your mind or if
possible, physically on the ground)

5. Call on the elements in turn at the appropriate quarter starting with (Facing
East) Air and moving clockwise all the way round to Earth in the North and ask
for their blessings and energy.

6. Call on the Goddess and God in turn in the aspects you know them best (i.e Isis
and Osiris or Kali and Shiva etc) and ask for their blessings and energy.

7. Pass the wand through the incense smoke and blow the smoke over it as you do this
while saying "I purify and consecrate you with the power of the element of air".

As you do this, visualise in your mind's eye, winds blowing over and around the wand, removing any impurities and evil.

8. Pass the wand quickly through the candle flame saying "I purify and consecrate
you with the power of the element of fire".

As you do this, visualise fire caressing the wand all around burning away impurities and evil.

9. Sprinkle the wand with the water from your first bowl saying "I purify and
consecrate you with the power of the element of water".

As you do this, visualise water flowing all over and around the wand washing away any impurities.

10. Sprinkle the wand with salt from your second bowl saying "I purify and
consecrate you with the power of the element of earth".

As you do this. visualise the wand being surrounded by earth absorbing any impurities.

11. Anoint the wand with oil saying "I purify and consecrate you with the power of
the element of spirit". As you do this, visualise a beautiful and cleansing
gold light imbuing itself in the wand.

12. Thank and say farewell to the God and Goddess.

13. Thank and say farewell to the elements, in reverse from North, anti-clockwise
(widdershins) all the way round to the east.

14. Protection spell again to close down and keep you safe.

15. Open the circle. (If you have visualised the circle in your mind, just see
yourself walking out of the circle)

16. Wrap your wand in the silk fabric to protect and preserve the charge in it.

It is done.

Never allow anyone else to handle your magickal tools after consecration as the touch of another corrupts the charge and you will have to ground the item and re-consecrate it.
