-
- Sample presentation for Chalice:
-
- [For the Chalice, symbol of abundance, we have selected Malkuth.]
- Adonai Malekh, Lord of the Universe, bless this chalice. Let it
- be as Thy cauldron, a vessel of productivity that it may be worthy
- to dispense Thy bounty. Let it be used in Thy service and in the
- service of humanity. Let it be so bound that no harm may come of
- it to any being, but let it rather be an instrument of good-will
- and understanding; of loving harmony. To Thy sacred Self I
- dedicate this vessel, [name of vessel], that it and I may long be
- of service to Thee.
-
- Lord Metatron, companion to the Lord, bless this chalice and keep
- watch over it. Guard the works which come forth from it, that
- they ever be in the service of the Universe and Thy Master, that
- they be of service to humankind, and that they abide by the laws
- of harmony. To Thee I vow I shall use it for His sacred purposes,
- and for no other.
-
- Sample Presentation for Athame:
-
- [For the Athame we have chosen Gevurah.]
- Elohim Gibor, Lord of the Universe, bless this athame. Let it be
- a tool by which the World is divided between that which is Thine
- and that which is Man's. And by this let it show Men the Light,
- that they may follow Thee and seek Union with Thee. Let it be a
- weapon to bring down the power and the pride of Thine enemies,
- that they may cast down thy ways, and join the forces of the
- Universe from whence they sprang. To Thy sacred Self I dedicate
- this athame, [name of blade], that it and I may long be of service
- to Thee.
-
- Lord Khamiel, Sword of God, bless this athame that it shall bring
- forth Truth, and shall cause no pain nor disharmony to any, save
- only by the Will of the Lord, which shall be to redeem them and
- return them to the Presence. I dedicate this athame, [name of
- athame], symbol of the Defender, to His service. May it ever
- bring Him joy and pride.
-
- [This ritual, with suitable changes, may be used to dedicate other
- tools as well as these.]
