Consecrating your Crystal
Once you have purchased a crystal, you may wish to consecrate it,
ready for use in ritual. A simple consecration ritual is given below,
but do feel free to modify and adapt this to your own preferences.
If you are working indoors, the altar should have some natural object
or symbol of nature on it, such as a stone (particularly a hag stone,
which represents the Earth Goddess), flowers, feathers, corn, etc. An
outdoor altar needs very little, as nature is all around you.
Requirements
-Sea salt (or a suitable consecrated crystal) & water (not tap) in
small bowls
-Candle (red is good, or beeswax)
-Incense or joss (a strong purifying scent like frankincense or
sandalwood is good) and censer -Suitable oil (depicting spirit)
- Piece of silk or other bag for storage if crystal is not to be worn
These items should be set up on the altar ready. Consecration
Start by having a ritual bath, allowing yourself to dry naturally.
When you are ready ground yourself with an appropriate centering
exercise.
Cast the circle in your preferred manner. Call on the elements in
turn at the appropriate quarter (starting with Air - East and moving
round clockwise through Fire - South, Water - West to Earth - North)
and ask for their blessings and energy.
Call on the Goddess and God in turn in whichever aspects you know
them best (it is preferable if possible to call on aspects which
match from the same pantheons, such as Isis and Osiris, Kali and
Shiva, etc) and ask for their blessings and energy.
If you work with other entities such as e.g. angels, power animals,
spirit guide, call on them at this point and ask for their blessings,
energy and guidance.
Pass the item through the incense smoke (if it is a large crystal you
may move the censer around it and blow smoke over it as well as you
do this), saying:
"I purify and consecrate you with the power of the element of Air."
As you do this visualize winds blowing over the crystal, removing any
impurities or unwanted energies which may have accumulated around the
crystal.
Pass the crystal through a candle flame, saying:
"I purify and consecrate you with the power of the element of Fire."
As you do this visualize fire caressing the crystal around its edges,

burning away any impurities. Sprinkle the crystal with water, saying:
"I purify and consecrate you with the power of the element of Water."
As you do this visualize water flowing over and around the crystal,
washing away any impurities.
Sprinkle the crystal with salt, or touch the already consecrated
crystal to it, saying:
"I purify and consecrate you with the power of the element of Earth."
As you do this visualize the crystal being surrounded by the earth,
which absorbs any impurities. Anoint the crystal with oil, saying:
"I purify and consecrate you with the power of the element of
Spirit."
As you do this visualize the crystal being imbued with gold light.
Thank and say farewell to the God and Goddess, or whichever beings
you called on. Thank and say farewell to the elements (in reverse
from North anti-clockwise through to East).
Open the circle.
Write up the ritual in your diary.
You may wish to wrap crystals which are not being left on an altar in
silk, to preserve the charge on them.
