Rosewicket Wicca Coven

There are endless possibilities to bless objects, so feel free to add to this!

I personally prefer to bless an object once I have taken a good long time and effort to cleanse it (or smudge it), empower it, and meditate with it. I usually bless it in the circle then leave it someplace to absorb energy (such as in the sun, the moonlight, under my pillow when I sleep, ect.)

To Bless A Book Of Shadows, Grimiore,  "holy" or private book:

Goddess please bless this book of mine

Protect it from all others

Those not allowed shall never see

What lies between its covers

Let all words writ by me herein

Be mine alone to see

Not prying eyes nor ill intent

Invade their privacy

The curious shall pass it by

And never see or look

To seek these words and thoughts of mine

Which lie within this book

And should by chance another see

Let him not understand

Or grasp the meaning of these words

Put here by my own hand

Protect this book and all within

Unknown except to me

Safe and secure in your white light

My wish - so mote it be

This is written by Ladyfox and whitewicca.com

For my BOS I changed this slightly, but I decided to share the original.

Alterantive Book Of Shadows Blessing:

Preparation: At the time of the Full Moon, take your Book of Shadows (one that

hasn't been written in yet) and some incense (pennyroyal, anise or rue) outside.

Ritual: Under the light of the Full Moon, draw a pentagram on the first page and under this

write the following information: date, time, place, your magical name (and sigil if you have one),

the moon's phase and any other info you feel is important. Hold the book up to the Moon and say:

"Here as the Full Moon shines upon me,

Bless this Book I've made tonight.

I humbly ask this of thee,

Underneath your most sacred light."

Another Book Of Shadows or other Magickal Journel/Book Blessing:

"Hearken as the Witch's word

Calls the lady and the lord

Moon above and earth below

Sky's cool blue and sun's hot glow

In this right and ready hour

Fill these pages with thy power

May no unprepared eye to see

The secrets which trusted be

To I who walk the hidden road

To find the hearthstone's calm abode

Guardians from the four directions

Hear me and lend thy protection

May these truths of Earth and skies

Shaded be from prying eyes

But to the witches whose map this be

May the way be plain to see

And through all the coming ages

May we find home in these pages

So mote it be!"

To Bless A Pen for a spell of your Book Of Shadows:

When there's a new moon, fill a glass with consecrated water, and add some crushed roses, and a pitch of salt place the pen in glass, and invision it absorbing power.

If you think it is better fitting, you may do this on a full or waxing moon, but preferably not waning.

Chant three times, or more if you feel it is right to do so:

Ínk so (color) as the (element or object of the same color)

Always write the truth.

Thee times said,

Three times blessed 

Before the moon 

Blessed Be.

Serve me right 

Serve only me 

As I will it,

So mote it be!

To Bless A Tarot Deck:

This is a blessing to say when you are shuffling tarot cards, to make the reading work out better, and to see the meanings of the cards more clearly.

Say:-

"Silver moonlight, and sunlight of gold,

light my way clearly as the cards unfold.

Show me the subconscious, and secrets untold.

Show me what the past, the present and future doth hold.

Let me see clearly the cards meanings,

be they bright and warm, dark or cold.

God and Goddess be with me,

and bless me as the cards unfold.

So mote it be!"

House Blessing:

Take a new broom and lightly anoint the tips of the bristles with a teaspoon or so of crushed almonds (for happiness) combined with a drop or two of honey (for the sweetness of life). Then at sunrise (never sunset), sweep your front porch or main threshold with your anointed broom. Visualize sweeping away all negative energy as you say this charm: "With this broom I sweep away all

negativity, till only peace and calm surround me. As I destroy all discord, I sweep in harmony and accord." Use this spell anytime you feel a need to cleanse your home, or after a grouch has darkened your doorway!

By Jim Weaver

Another House Blessing:

Wash down the wood work and floors with Chinese Wash (or Van Van Oil in water) from back

to front and out the front door and throw the remaining wash water out the front door or in the front yard.

If there is no front yard, carry some of the wash water to the nearest street intersection or crossroads

and throw it to the East.

Then use a brand new broom to sweep the house from back to front and out the front door.

Some folks also like to sprinkle Van Van Powder at the front threshold and sweep that away from the house.

After cleaning as above, put down pinches of salt in the corners of each room or, if you

are in a hurry, four pinches of salt at the four outside corners of the house.

To Bless a house and get rid of bad energy:

Prepare your home and yourself for the onset of spring by first cleaning house the conventional way.

As you do, meditate on the mental debris you need to clean out as well.

Then, when you're ready, take up your ritual broom, start at the front door and sweep all

around the house, visualizing all unwanted things being swept away by your magickal broom.

When you return to the front door, open it wide and sweep this stuff away.

Now light a white candle and carry it around your home.

Visualize a light of peace and newness spreading around you and your home.

Make a circle of light before each window and door, asking the blessings of the Goddess

and the God on your home and all who dwell within it
