Dragon Blessing
This is the ritual used for blessing and consecrating ritual tools. It is
best performed on the Night of the Full moon or at Bright Moon although it can
be performed at any time wish the Dragon co-magicians to add their power
and blessing to any other tools you might acquire. For this ritual I find these tools most useful:
Dragon Pentacle
Pentacle Disk
Incense Burner
Wine Chalice
Water Chalice
Salt
Dish
Sword
Wand.
Note: If a item is missing remember it is possible to use regular household
items until other items are acquired. It is important that I believe that these
items are extensions of my Magick and I know that my Dragon Companions
understand and will help me acquire those items that befit me. If I don't have
wine for my ritual I substitute apple cider, grape juice, fruit juice or even
soda for this ritual or even any other rituals for that matter.
Setting up my ritual area:
I place my altar in the center of my ritual area so that I can face East. I
light my two altar candles { Black on the left and White on the right to balance
the Energies } .I play soft music in the background usually only instrumental,
but other kinds depending on what draws me. The playing of soft music in the
background serves to purposes:
Sets Mood
Masks Minor Noise
Now that my ritual area is set up I am ready to cast my circle, before doing so
I make sure I have everything that I need for the Ritual I am about to perform
because it is highly recommended that once my circle is cast I do not leave it.
I also realize and so do my Dragons that there are times that I must leave the
Cast Circle .At times like these I create a doorway in my circle so that I can
leave it without having to cast the circle again. I create this doorway in the
circle by going to the boundary of the circle and with the forefinger of my
power hand I start a point on the ground to the left and bring it up a little
taller than I am and extend it to the right just so I can step through .I
complete the door by bringing my finger down to the right all the way to the
ground. I then am able to step through the Doorway .Once through the Doorway I
turn around and follow the same procedure I did to open it but this time I
close the Door. To reenter the circle I create and open another door and go
through it and close it again. While doing this I remember that I am dealing
with mischievous creatures in this form of Magick . Dragon Power is totally
different and unpredictable .If I am frivolous and half-hearted in my practice
of Dragon Magick it can even be dangerous.
Casting my circle:
I begin by going to the East and with the forefinger of my power hand I draw my
magickal circle on the ground by pointing to the ground and picturing a great
flame coming from it .With that flame I move clockwise around my ritual area and
end by overlapping in the East. While drawing the circle I say:
By Dragon Power, This Circle Is Sealed
Ritual of Blessing:
Return to altar and place a small amount of Frankincense on the burning charcoal
in the incense burner, point forefinger to burner and say:
By Dragon Power ,I Call You Purified
Lift up the burner and carry it around the edge of cast Circle clockwise
beginning and ending in the East. Return burner to the altar and slowly pass the
Pentacle Disk through the incense smoke and say:
Element of Spirit, By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
Lay the Pentacle Disk upon altar and place Salt Dish upon it. With forefinger of
power hand circle the dish three times clockwise and say:
Out Of The Darkness Of Earth And Sea Comes The Blessed Salt, By Dragon Power, I
Call You Purified.
Sprinkle a few grains of Salt on all four corners of the altar, this purifies it
and can be done at any time during ritual or as a cleansing if someone has
messed about with the altar. Once altar is purified pick up Dragon Pentacle,
pass it slowly through the incense smoke and say:
Element Of Spirit, By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
With Dragon Pentacle in Power Hand go to Eastern Quarter, face East and say:
Dragons Of Air Behold Your Symbol and Ally
Move clockwise to the South, hold up the Dragon Pentacle, say:
Dragons Of Fire Behold Your Symbol And Ally
Go to the West, hold up the Dragon Pentacle ,say:
Dragons Of Water Behold Your Symbol And Ally
Finish by going North, hold up the Dragon Pentacle, say:
Dragons of Earth Behold Your Symbol And Ally
Return to the altar, lay aside the Dragon Pentacle and take up the Sword. Touch
it briefly to the Pentacle Disk, pass through incense smoke, say:
Sword Of Fire, O name of Sword By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
Hold Sword a few moments before Dragon Pentacle. Put Sword down pick up the
Dagger ,touch it to Pentacle Disk, pass through incense smoke, say:
Dagger Of Fire, O name of Dagger By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
Hold Dagger a few moments before Dragon Pentacle. For each tool I set it briefly
on the Pentacle Disk, pass it through the incense smoke, when finished with the
Call, hold tool before Dragon Pentacle before returning it to altar.
Water Chalice:
Chalice Of Water By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
Wine Chalice:
Chalice Of Earth By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
Dragon Bowl:
Bowl Of Earth, You Holder Of Lands Far Distant And Near, By Dragon Power ,I Call
You Purified
Gem Bowl:
Bowl Of Earth, You Holder Of Gems Bright And Powerful, By Dragon Power I Call
You Purified
Wand:
Wand Of Air, Wielder Of Might And Magick By Dragon Power, I Call You Purified
Staff:
Staff Of Spirit, Authority And Power Are Yours, By Dragon Power, I Call You
Purified
Water bottles:
Containers Of Water, Holder Of Great Seas And Rivers, By Dragon Power I Call You
Purified
Gong, finger cymbals, or bell:
You Element Of Air, Whose Musical Notes Reach To The Dragon Worlds, By Dragon
Power I Call You Purified
Mirror:
Eye Of The Dragon, You Element Of Earth, By Dragon Power I Call You Purified
Herbs and Oils consecrate them by circling three times with wand ,say:
Herbs ( Oils ) Of Earth, Given By Dragons Of Light And Darkness, By Dragon Power
I Call You Purified
After the calls are made it is an excellent time to chant and use free-form
dancing. Invite the Dragons to share in raised Energy and joy of being a
Magician. Talk to them about hopes and dreams and listen to see if they have any
thoughts or suggestion and words of encouragement ,this is a opportunity to
forge close friendships with the Dragons.
Closing the Ritual:
Take Sword in Power Hand, wand or staff in the other. Hold Sword up in salute,
go
to East, say:
Dragons Of Air, Behold The Tools Of Magick, Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let Us
Be One In Magick. Farewell, O Dragons Great And Wise.
Clockwise to the South, say:
Dragons Of Fire, Behold The Tools Of Magick, Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let
Us Be One In Magick. Farewell O Dragons Great And Wise.
Go to the West, say:
Dragons Of Water, Behold The Tools Of Magick, Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let
Us Be One In Magick. Farewell, O Dragons Great And Wise
Go to North, say:
Dragons Of Earth, Behold The Tools Of Magick, Consecrated By Dragon Power. Let
Us Be One In Magick. Farewell ,O Dragons Great and Wise.
Return to altar, point the sword at the Dragon Pentacle, say:
Dragons Of Spirit, Highest Of Dragons And Most Powerful, Bless This Altar With
Your Fire. Let Us Be One In Magick. Farewell, O Dragons Great And Wise.
With a backward sweep of the Sword across the boundary of the circle ,cut the
circle. Extinguish the altar candles. Leave the ritual tools on or around the
altar overnight to be further empowered. The Dragons may inspect them during
this time and add special blessings to them.
It is important to realize that I work with Dragons as partners and Co-magicians
and I have to be firm in my intentions but willing to listen to their point of
view. A magician tries to gain control over Dragons at his/own peril.
