How to "consecrate" a witches tools

When a witch starts to accumulate her first tools for her altar, often she forgets one important step before beginning her magical workings! It is very important to focus YOUR energy unto all the items in your sacred space. Often your items have been touched by many other people, and have traveled far distances to find you! Consecrating your tools in your personal space is very important. This means cleansing your tools both physically and energetically of all previous energy that may be on or around them, and making them personal to you by placing YOUR new energy and intention on and around them, using a small ritual consisting of words, focus, and sometimes your favorite oil/incense. Remember to base your consecration(s) in love and ALWAYS with good intentions. Remember, our kind of Wicca, the most EFFECTIVE Wicca, focuses on all work being performed from and out of love, therefore we need to reflect that energy onto our tools/space and everything in essence, on your altar. Here is a sample of a wonderful consecration ritual for 1 or more of your tools; you can customize it for specific consecrations.

1. Cast your circle, light a white candle and burn frankincense resin, sage, and/or incense (for purification)

2. Using your wand (or your hand if you are consecrating your wand) make a repeating clockwise motion over your tool(s) and say: (or something similar, whatever makes your comfortable)

3. By the Great Divine Mind, the Goddess and God, Creator and Intelligence, My Guardians,
My Angels, the power of my reigning Divine Love, and all the elements
of her beautiful Mother nature of the Earth, the Air, the Water, and her Fire, cleanse these
personal magical tools before me, charge them with positivity,
may I use these tools for good and light,
may I use these tools to do good and right.
Whether I use them by day or by night,
they are now lovingly cleansed with ALL my might.
I charge these tools in the name of LOVE,
I charge these tools with blessings from above.
I charge these tools with harmony and peace,
I charge these tools, for my intentions to release,
I consecrate these tools, to be loving and kind,
I consecrate these tools, in sync with the Great Mind.
I charge these tools which now belong to me,
And for my Goddess within, BLESSED BE.

You can repeat this ritual for each tool or customize it for all tools at once! It also helps you connect mentally and spiritually with the objects you are working with. Similar to how a child holds his teddy bear where ever he goes for comfort, his smell, his energy, his faith in that bear are all over him and belong to him. The bear is a magical protector in a sense and he will receive much comfort by carrying around his bear. It is the same with your altar tools! Your tools are supposed to bring you a feeling of protection, comfort, manifestation, change, and desired results. Drape your energy all over your altar and your tools and you will feel very connected to them!

Blessed be in your magical workings!

The Law of forgiveness, making peace with enemies

I know, I know this is a touchy subject for ALL of us, especially being spiritual beings and sensitive to disharmony... but we have ALL been hurt by someone, and dealing with those feelings of betrayal shouldn't be denied or stuffed. It is an impossible thought for many, maybe even not even a consideration for most of you! But, hear me out…(let's get back into the mindset that the dominant energies which every emotion is based are from either LOVE or FEAR.) Everyone, including our so called "enemies" have a place in this world. People that cause havoc in our lives are perhaps the biggest teachers of the biggest lessons we are to learn and conquer in this life. I like to eventually be THANKFUL for the people that are a pain in my moon because they reflect a challenging opportunity to rise above and become a more evolved person by handling this type of person with grace and deeper understanding; in fact often other's behavior is a direct reflection of needing to see

Invoking or evoking? What is the difference?

Over the years I have had many questions about what invoking vs. evoking consists of. Many believe that they are one in the same, when in actuality, evoke and invoke are VERBS of different meanings. Both can be useful during ritual, and here is why we need to know the difference when it comes to using either action... Evoking is when you ask a Deity/God/Goddess and what it represents, to be present in your circle or at your ritual, (to join you) as do the Catholics when they call upon the Saints. (see list of some sample Deities below) Sometimes we practitioners enjoy honoring the presence of such Deities for inspiration or visions during a meditation. An energy may shift in the room or someone may receive a message of sorts, as we do when we get answers when we pray. Evoking should be done with clear and positive intentions. Make sure you record any special messages or happenings into your Book of Shadows. Upon closing your circle, thank your Deities for joining you and ask them to b

Why a MAGICAL mind is also a MANIFESTING one.. PART TWO!

In the last blog, we were talking in depth about how thoughts create action, and how important thoughts are in the mysterious process of imagination... We were discussing why it is important to re-train thoughts from negative ones to positive ones. You open yourself up to opportunities you would not normally have if you were negative and shut down and letting those negative thoughts and circumstances surround you. Once you feel you have shifted your mind and you're thinking more positively, (even if just in small amounts at first) and reaffirming your blissful desires in this life, you should start feeling different. Irritating situations will bother you less and less and your primary focus will be manifesting positive outcomes from your desires. As you begin that shift, well, that is when we need a little magic. Magic is putting action to our thoughts and our desires. Action could mean anything as long as it is a measurable amount of mental or physical energy.. it could mean creat
