Consecration

Consecration is a power. It's the basic concept of blessing something.

It has to do with a mindset about something. Baptism is a consecration.  Praying over a meal is a consecration. 

You may think that you've got to be part of a religion to consecrate things but people do it everyday without being aware of it.

To assign something for a specific purpose, in anyway is a consecration.

That special chair or coffee cup or even a friend, pet, car, companion, they have all and each been assigned as special in someway to you.

So this power has to do with energizing an item. 

After a selection you make a decision about it to be used in a certain way for a certain result.  The way that you consecrate it can vary do a great number of degrees.

Break a bottle on a boat, crush a glass with your foot, put a ring on a finger, collar around the neck, dip it in water, cover it in smoke, bury it, hand it a diploma, and in this act

change what it was to more than what it was.

Words are commonly spoken in consecration but not always; the intention and knowledge behind the act is the power of it.

In the consecration of your temple tools you want to do it yourself and there are a number of books that will give a step-by-step process of the ceremonies that are used for this

purpose. Commonly the task is accomplished by customizing the item using symbols and paints to address the properties of the item itself.

Carving the names of associated entities and powers onto the item and using appropriate colors and symbols, planetary, elementary and astronomical (Zodiac) is the first step but

therehas to be the part where the item is charged.

It is not unlike the act of a queen knighting someone, where she places the sword on each shoulder and says, I dub thee Sir So-and so.

Once the ritual process of consecration is affected or done the item should be treated with the holy respect that it deserves and not used (as mentioned earlier) for mundane

reasons or for common reasons.

Like if you consecrate a cup for your temple's alter you wouldn't want to carry it around to drink coffee from or fill it with beer during a party.

The actual point of having anything is the use of that thing and so when this consecration ceremony is completed the usage is for purpose, reason, and application.

I feel a bit swayed not to inform you of the full ceremonial consecration ritual(s) for two reasons and the first is the amount of information that the area would consume.

The second is the type of ritual that you feel comfortable undergoing.

Basically taking the item and placing it on the floor around three feet away from you and then drawing a circle around yourself communicates the fact of a separation between

you and the item. The circle represents several aspects of higher genius and inner workings that are greater than your common mundane existence.

It could be seen as an unknowable higher echelon or a special place in the universe but it is definitely different than your everyday life and a special place to be for you as a

being.

Whatever the significance you give to the inner circle know that it has far greater power and position of strength than you can even comprehend and that it is still your own space

that only you can exist in.

Then there are words that are spoken while you reach through the circle and bring the item to you through the veil that you have created and into the sacred space that you have

created. Now you see the item as having life that you have given it through its purpose for existence and reasons for creation.

You may also blow life into the item and holding it in one hand with the other hand over the top of it tell it why it exists and how long it will contain and project the powers that

you have given it.

This is the basic information for ceremonial consecration from my standpoint.
