Lesson 20-Consecrating Tools

First of all, I will say I definitely agree with with the comments that Satanists are not Pagans as we do not even believe in Satan to begin with.  I also say when I discuss Satanism with people that he is a Christian deity.  I view Satanists personally as those rebellious against Christianity.  As far as Judaism, I would not agree with it being considered Pagan.  It is, however, considered one of the Abrahamic religions: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.  All of which originated (if one follows the Old Testament accounts) originated from Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japeth (don't think I spelled that right).  It has been awhile since I have studied the origination of the Abrahamic religions so I do not remember which son began the line for each religion.  But they all are monotheistic religions.
 
As far as Consecrating tools, the latest tool that my Coven consecrated was a sword.  See below for that part of the ritual.
 

DEDICATION AND CONSECRATION OF THE SWORD

(Priestess and Priest) God and Goddess, Lord and Lady, we present this Sword for your approval as it was fashioned from the material's of nature; wrought in the form you now see. We would that it serve us well as a tool and weapon in our service to the Craft. Priestess will dip finger in saltwater and sprinkle over sword. Priest will take incense and wave over sword. May the sacred water and holy incense drive out the impurities of this sword, that it be pure and cleansed, ready to serve us and our Gods in the way we desire. So mote it be.

(The entire coven will grasp the blade and send their energy into the sword.)We charge this sword with the wisdom of the God and Goddess; may it serve us well keeping us from harm and acting in their service in all things.  So mote it be!

 

Until next Lesson, Blessed Be!
