Besom Consecration Ritual
Having blessed your besom it is now time to consecrate it using a besom consecration ritual.
You will need:
- A white candle for the consecration flame.
- Water.
- Incense.
When you are ready:
- Cast your circle.
- To consecrate the tool, the elementals may be used.
- Pick up the besom, saying:
- I have chosen this besom to assist me in my work.
- Visualize the besom being cleared of any negativity.
- Continue till the besom feels clear to you.
- Now visualize positive energy flowing from you, down you arm and into the besom.
- Visualize a strong white light flowing through your body to the tool. Feel it absorb the positive energies.
- Point the besom towards the North, saying:
- May the powers of the Earth cleanse and fill the besom I have chosen.
- Touch it to the pentacle, saying:
- In the names of the Goddess and God (use any names you wish), I bless and make sacred this besom, tool of my craft. I charge this besom by the element of Earth.
- Point the besom to the East, saying:
- May the powers of the Air cleanse and fill the besom I have chosen.
- Pass the besom through the smoke of the incense, saying:
- In the names of the Goddess and God (use any names you wish), I bless and make sacred this besom, tool of my craft. I charge this besom by the element Air.
- Point the besom to the South, saying:
- May the powers of Fire cleanse and fill the besom I have chosen.
- Pass the besom quickly (the besom itself is obviously flammable) over the candle flame saying:
- In the names of the Goddess and God (using any names you wish), I bless and make sacred this besom, tool of my craft. I charge this besom by the element Fire.
- Point the besom to the West, saying:
- May the powers of water cleanse and fill the besom I have chosen.
- Sprinkle the besom with a few drops of water, saying:
- In the names of the Goddess and God (using any names), I bless and make sacred this besom, tool of my craft. I charge this besom by the element Water.
- Then say:
- This tool is now ready, being consecrated and charged to assist me in my work. So mote it be.
- Perform other workings if you wish, then close the circle.
Your besom is now ready to be put to work.
