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.
