Important July Dates
(All times are CDT)
July 18, 2:59 am Full Moon
Capricorn Moon
The Full Moon itself is the final aspect this month and with the Moon in Capricorn, this is a classic time to
balance energies on the material plane and the mystical. If you have tools you wish to consecrate, here is a
simple ritual.
You will need physical representations of the elements: a candle for fire, a small bowl of water, a stick of
incense in a holder (or an incense burner with charcoal). For earth, you may use salt, dirt or a stone. With the
tools/items you wish to consecrate on the altar or elsewhere, cast a circle and invoke your usual goddesses or
gods. Take the tool of object, pass it carefully above the flame of the candle and say, "I consecrate this (wand,
tool) by fire." Then sprinkle a few drops of water on it and say, "I consecrate this by water." pass the object
through the smoke from the incense burner and say, "I consecrate this by air." Finally, touch the object to the
salt or dirt and say, "I consecrate this by earth." Then raise it above your head and say, "I consecrate this to the
service of the gods (or goddess, etc.). Then open your circle and put your newly consecrated tool on your altar,
or in a safe place.
