Default question about consecrating my tools

i have kraig's modern magick and on his section of tool consecration he strongly advised not to consecrate all four tools on the same day but rather four nights in a row or two weekends consecutively.
my question to those who would know on here, would it be cool (in your opinion) if i did 1/2 by day (morning) and the other half by night?

Are you planning to stop in the middle of the Consecration ritual and take a several hours break?

What Kraig really means is that it is not a good thing to treat Consecration of tools as an assembly line operation. This detracts from the working.

Each tool or weapon should be reverently Consecrated to its purpose without any distraction of thought. Additionally, especially for those newer to the path, the Magickian should "inflame" themselves specifically for the purpose at hand. This process of a Magickian inflaming themselves should have the SPECIFIC FOCUS AND INTENT of consecrating the tool or weapon to its purpose.

I recommend that those newer to the path do NOT Consecrate more than one tool or weapon a day. Instead, they should spend the entire day focusing their intent on the Consecration of ONE specific tool or weapon. In this way the tool or weapon will readily become the extension of the Magickian that it was meant to be and truly represent an implement of Focus for the Magickian's Will.

The time of day that the Consecration is performed is not nearly as important as the "state" of the Magickian. If performed first thing in the morning then the Magickian has not had enough time to purify themselves for the working nor had time to reach the proper state of "inflaming". I recommend late afternoon or evening for Consecration operations. Again, this advice is directed for those new on the path.

The question asked was "would it be cool to Consecrate half of the tools during the day and half at night." At least that is the way I interpret the question. My answer as to the best time of day is above. The Magickian can do it at either time as long as that time has MEANING for the Magickian.

If the intended question was whether it would be cool to Consecrate 1/2 of the tool or weapon during the day and the other 1/2 of it at night, my answer is no, it would not be cool.

Humbly, I AM

thank you for the detailed answer I AM-i guess that squashes my next question of if it was cool to do it, that once the watchtowers is open, to leave it open but since it is not wise, heh-i get it yo.

I did consecrate all four tools during the same ritual; all i can say is that it appears to have worked, it connected me more closely with elemental energies than ever before. IMHO it seemed that creating/consecrating the elemental weapon implied the dominion/extension of my will over the elements--it represented to me myself becoming the spirit which unities them, and my ritual was designed to draw all together that way. Crap, I'm at work and must run from the compy. Till later!

okay fr.novumorganum so if you did it and divised it all in a way to unify yourself with your implements (i assume that's what you are saying) then is it cool (in your opinion or anyone else who have done such a thing all at once) to leave the watchtower open and finally close the watchtower when and after consecrating them all?
c-folks this is what i am planning to do.
i am going to open up the watchtowers (again-my 2nd time; experience wise) and do a ritual of dedication to my path (which is ceremonial based-beginner ofcourse) then I was/am planning to consecrate all of my implements and then finish off with a ritual of obligation and then close out the watchtower.
i will take a bath and get in my own lil-get up and i know that this will take a long, time and i assume that i will be burned out because of all the mental work that is going into it.
so if anybody thinks that this is madness or dangerous to me (and i'm still taking into consideration what was advised to me earlier) please let me know.

In my ritual, I did not use the opening of the watchtowers ritual as devised by regardie, but did a more free form ritual :

I built up my space slowly with the various elemental rituals: LBRP, BRH, LIRP, GIRP, GIRH, then I used some invocations culled from the book of the law, that had specific connections to the elements to me, then I used Levi's invocations of the various rulers of the elements, and focused their energy through the arch angel controlled pents and hexs, combined with my will, into the tools.

okay, well that is a different approach but well...since you did it your way and you feel the results from it (which I think is dope), ima gonna do it my way and well logically speaking, i think once i have the watchtowers open, there is no need to close it after each consecration but i am going to do two at a time.
i'm goin all out baby, i will post the results afterwards (if i survive).

yeah i think if you have constructed your ritual environment properly, you won't have any problems controlling the various energies.
