Prepare area, gather all tools and set up altar.
Bathe, add sandlewood, frankincense and cinnamon oils to your bath as well as sea salt. Light candles and concentrate on what is before you. Purify space and open the circle.
Face the East, raise your projective (one you use the most) hand and point to the sky. Say: "Raphael, Angel of Air, I do summon, stir and call you now to witness this rite and guard this circle. Powers of Air, be with me as I journey between the worlds."
Turn to the South, point your hand and say: "Michael, Angel of Fire, I do summon, stir and call you now to witness this rite and guard this circle. Powers of Fire, be with me as I jorney between worlds."
Turn to the West, point with your hand and say: "Gabriel, Angel of Water, I do summon, stir and call you to witness this rite and guard this circle. Power of Water, be with me as I journey between worlds."
Turn to the North, point your hand and say: "Ariel, Angel of Earth, I do summon, stir and call you to witness this rite and guard this circle. Power of Earth, be with me as I journey between worlds."
Face the Altar, raise your hands to the sky and say: "The Circle is cast and I am between the worlds, beyond the bounds of time, where night and day, birth and death, joy and sorrow meet as one."
Ring the bell to signal that the circle is cast and to invite the deities.
Light the Altar candle and raise your hands and say: "On this night and in this hour; I call upon the ancient power of the Mother Goddess and Father God, I ask that you assist me in my dedication ritual as I take a new path in my life. I have cast this circle this night to perform the act of dedication of my mind, body and spirit to the Goddess and God, and to the Religion and Science of Withcraft. From this day forward, I will honor and respect both the Devine and myself. I vow to hold the ideology of the Craft in my heart and my mind for the totality of this lifetime and beyond."
Next point to your knees and say: "Blessed be my knees as I kneel at the altar of my faith, not in supplications, but in thanksgiving."
Next point to your groin area and say: "Blessed by my womb/groin that holds/produces the creation of the human essance. I vow to protect and teach the children of the world."
Next point to your chest and say: "Blessed be my heart that it may beat steady and true. May the warmth of my love spread throughout the galaxy."
Next point to your third eye (located on your forehead between your visable eyes): "Blessed be my Astral Sight that I may see through the veil of life with the truth of the Devine."
Now turn to face the altar, raise your hands in the air and say: "I (your name), in the presence of the Universe, do of my own free will and mind, most solemnly swear that I will ever abide by the religion and science of the Craft. I shall neither harm my fellow human with the secrets that I learn, nor shall I flaunt my beliefs or power before them. Henceforth, from this day, I shall be reborn as (your new craft/coven name) and shall honor, respect and cherish this oath I have taken!"
Next take the ritual cup and say; "As I take this (name of beverage) into my body, I take that of the Goddess, Earth Mother and seal my oath....forever."
Drink half of the ritual beverage then hold the cup to the sky and say: "Accept this (name of beverage) as my offering of thanksgiving."
Then place the wine on the altar and say: "I, (your coven name), wish to thank you Mother Goddess and Father God for presiding over this dedication ritual. May we together walk within the light forever."
Close the circle, starting in the East and thank the Angel and Power for assisting in the rite. Follow with the South, West, North.
Now face the altar and say: "The circle is open, but never broken."
Clean up and pour the ritual beverage into the Earth.
