Before these spirits, I bring this (tool) to be dedicated
to the service of the Lady and the Lord.
Pass the tool three times through the smoke of the incense, saying:
By power of air, be purified.
Be dedicated to purity, that all goals you help acheive may harm none
and be for the good of all.

By power of fire, be purified
Be dedicated to desire, that all goals you help achieve may harm none
and be for the good of all.
Sprinkle a few drops of water on the instrument, saying:
By power of water, be purified
Be dedicated to emotion, that you be used in a spirit of harmony,
harming none and for the good of all.
Touch the instrument to the earth or salt, saying:
By power of earth, be purified.
Be dedicated to steadfastness, that my will be acheived without wavering
with harm to none and for good of all.

Presentation to the Lord and Lady
If this is a Chalice, present it first to the Lady,
then to the Lord.
If it is an Athame, reverse the order.
All other instruments, use your
own preference, but it is a courtesy to present to Her first.
Presentation of a Chalice
Lady, bless this chalice, let it be a vessel
of productivity that may
be worthy to reside in circle with you.
Let it be so bound that no harm
may come of it to any being.
To thy service, I dedicate this vessel,
that it and I may be long of
service to thee. Lord, bless this chalice
and keep watch over it. Guard the works
which come forth from it, that they
harm none and be ever in the service
of Thee and Thy Lady.
To thee I vow that I shall use it for
Her sacred purposes and none other.
So Mote It Be
***
Presentation of an Athame
Great Lord, Bless this Athame. Let it be pure
for thy service and bind it so that no harm
may come of it to any being.
Lord, bless this Athame, that it be used
always in the worship and honour of the Gods.
Lady, bless this Athame, that it may bring forth
joy and purity, and shall
cause no harm to any being.
I dedicate this athame to thy service, Great One.
So Mote It Be.
