Make it Yours Ritual

The Make It Yours Ritual.

Anytime you get a new tool, crystal, jewelry, homemade craft, antique, anything, either as a purchase or gift, it is a good idea to take that object and *make it yours* by doing a simple ritual that will sever any ties the item in question has had with the previous owner/creator. This is simply a precaution as not everyone is “above board” so to speak.

There is always the possibility an item you bring into your home of the metaphysical nature (and in some cases, non meta, as with antiques) could have negative energies, attachments or be bonded by unscrupulous magicians.

What a bonded item is:

A bonded item can be virtually anything that a magus can cast on to create a direct link with that object. This means no matter where the object is, the person who bonded it can send either positive (healing) energy or negative (cursing) energy through their connection or bond with that item.

We the priestesses of S&S/DT are offering you today, and from now on will be offered with purchase of any of our Demon Companions or spellcast pieces, our own personal ritual from our own coven grimoire as a gift to you to protect yourself.

Here is the ritual…

~1 Candle ~ your personal favourite color
~incense ~ your own personal incense
~1 bowl of salt
~1 bowl of water
~a personal taglock- this can be a drop of your own blood, a strand of hair, sexual fluids, a nail clipping, or even lick your lips and kiss a piece of paper.
~a smudgestick for clearing any residual energies before and after ritual (optional)
~a black cloth (or a cloth of your favorite pattern, color, or sentimental value) big enough to wrap around your item

1) The object of this ritual is to remove any negative residual energies, possible curses or malicious bondings on an object and replacing them with your own personal energies.

2) Place your Salt towards the North, your incense towards the East, your Candle towards the South, your water towards the west. Face the direction of each element as you are cleansing with that element.

3) Before you begin you can do an optional smudge. this is entirely up to your personal preference and path.

4) Facing north say aloud or in your mind, as you hold the object in your hand:

I cleanse this object with the grounding energies of the earth (sprinkle some salt over or run the object through the bowl of salt)

5) Facing the East, say aloud or in your mind, as you hold the object in your hand:

I cleanse this object with the mindful clarity of air (run your object through the incense smoke three times)

6) Facing South, say aloud or in your mind as you hold the object in your hand:

I cleanse this object with the passionate energy of fire (very carefully pass the object over the fire. do not pass it through as you may damage your item or burn yourself! )

7) Facing West, say aloud or in your mind as you hold the object in your hand:

I cleanse this object with the purifying energy of water (wash the water from the bowl over the item )

8) After the elemental cleansing, place your item on your cloth piece. place your chosen personal tag on your item. Wrap the cloth around the item. Place the wrapped item somewhere it wont be disturbed and leave for six hours or overnight allowing your energies and full essence to permeate the object.

This exercise will wipe out any bondings or negative residue and make it totally yours. This practice will not affect our Demon or Spelled bindings in any way.
