When we talk about consecrating something, whether it is altars, ritual instruments, divinatory instruments, fetishes, talismans, amulets, statues, candles, water and even prepared herbs, consecrate means simply means sacralizing.

For me, it means purifying and blessing something and loading it with a purpose. If you wonder how to consecrate a talisman, here you will find the answers.

A skull is just a skull, but when it is consecrated it becomes a house of the spirit. An Odin statue is only a statue until it is enshrined as a divinity container. A candle is just a candle until it is greased with oil and loaded with its purpose for a spell. A stick is just a stick, but once cut, fumigated, sprinkled with oil, sprinkled with holy water, chosen its purpose as an art stick, and loaded with the desired powers and blessed then it becomes a powerful magic tool.

To facilitate the consecration process, the more an object is actively used for its purpose, the more they can exercise. There are many ways to consecrate something. Here are some that I consider the best.

How do you consecrate a talisman?

It can be simple or complex, according to your preferences. It can last five minutes or an hour. You can do it at midnight with the full moon, on your altar in the light of the candles, with incense on, singing, with long and loose hair falling on your naked breasts or in the morning at the kitchen table with a little water, salt and olive oil and then watch the television with your cup of coffee again.

Phase 1: Cleaning

Physically clean (if possible), the object to be consecrated, with soap, water and herbs for purification (lemon … perennial leaf trees, wheel … Hiopus, Artemisa). Next, cleanly clean by fumigation, incense wands or stain.

If the object cannot be washed, spray it with holy water and then fumiga. Move the object in the hands so that the smoke touchs every corner.

While cleaning the object visualizes that you eliminate dirt and negativity, or give aloud «I will clean you», or you can sing a purification song.

Phase 2: Anointing

Oil! Oil in everything! It is not necessary to have a particularly elaborate oil, olive oil or sunflower oil will be fine. Or if you prefer, you can dilute some essential oils with a little olive oil, almonds, sunflower, jojoba, etc.

Then submerge the index finger in the oil and, from the center of the object, slide the finger once up. Go back to the center and slide your finger once. Ta da, anointed!

This method works well with candles, jewelry, skulls, bottles, boxes, sticks, rods, statues, calicescondelabros, etc.

Phase 3: Renaissance

Take a black cloth or a piece of leather and wrap the object. This will act as a grave and uterus. Your ritual object will have a magical initiation (idea taken by Nigel Pennick). His former I will die so that his new life can be born as a ritual tool.

Open the cloth and welcome the object as a newborn. Sprinkle it with earth, spray it with holy water, pass it above the flame of a candle and blow incense smoke with a plume and will be blessed with the elements of earth, water, fire and air.

Phase 4: Load

Now is the time to load the object for your destination. So, to clarify, gather objects and proceed. A protection ring and a tarot deck will not have the same purpose, so you will have to load them differently.

Simplify consecration

If you feel the need to do something made by a candle, a bottle of wine for the Sabbat or a herbal bag, no problem. Spray them with holy water, join them with oil or simply blow on them. Then whisper a purpose prayer so that the breath of your prayer touch the object or objects in question. That’s it.

Tips subsequent to consecration

Once your sacred objects have been consecrated and used for their purposes, occasionally they will need cleaning. Make a magical washing (for objects that can get wet, such as jewelry, skulls, swords, knives, sticks, statutory objects and some divination tools). Over time, dust and dirt accumulate.

Unpainted wood ritual instruments require special care; Gently limit them with a damp cloth, with a little flaxseed oil, Danish oil, and gently frot them with a little beewwood or wood conditioner. If you have leather items, use a wax or balm for mounting chairs, this will make the leather soften (obviously, this treatment is not good for synthetic leather).

For both wood and leather, let the oil or conditioner dry overnight before re -placing the ritual instrument on the altar.

For skins, carpets, felpies, etc. Sprinkle them with a little sodium bicarbonate, let them rest for 15 minutes and then save them. In this way, in addition to having cleaned them, you will have eliminated odors. If you prefer, you can add essential oils to the sodium bicarbonate before using it to be very well scented.

For tarot or wooden runes, a good fumigation works well, since some prefer to place the crystals in the tarot cards and then let them stand for a week or a month. Others prefer to bury them.

Once or twice a year, replace temporary bags and talismans.

Consecration of amulets and talismans according to the Wicca method

Necessary material:

• A candle
• Incense
• Salt
• Water
• Altar

How is it done:

In front of your altar, raise your amulet to heaven and say:

«I consecrate this 4 -elements amulet. It is now a magical tool, which will honestly serve its bearer.

Turn on the incense, pass the amulet or talisman 3 times on smoke, turn east and say:

«O Old gods of the air, and you all the creatures of the elements, and you all the east spirits, I ask you to load this amulet (or talisman) with the mystical energy of the air and with your divine light.»

Now light the candle, let the amulet or talisman give 3 laps around the flame, turn south and say:

«Oh former gods of fire, and you all the creatures of the elements, and you all the southern spirits, I ask you to load this amulet (or talisman) with the energy of the sacred flame and with your divine light.»

Put the amulet or talisman on your altar pour 3 drops of water on it, turn west and say:

«Oh ancient gods of water, and you all the creatures of the elements, and you all the spirits of the west, I ask you to load this amulet (or talisman) with the vital energy of the source of life and with your divine light.»

Now put the amulet (or talisman) in the salt, turn north and say:

«Oh former gods of the earth, and you all the creatures of the elements, and you all the northern spirits, I ask you to load this amulet (or talisman) with living energy and with your divine light.»

Hold your amulet with both hands, lift it above your head and say 3 times:
«That’s right.»

Remember to choose an amulet or talisman that you feel is yours and that is basically everything.

A necklace, a doll, a bag, a letter from the tarot, can be any type of object as long as you respect it and load magic.
