To consecrate, bless and dedicate Wedding Rings to the Lord and Lady, first find the
place where you wish to set up the altar. This place must not be disturbed, for it will take
on sacred and holy energies, and you will not want anything to happen to this area.
Write two blessings to read to each other if you desire to and use some beautiful music
if there is some available. Have a Chalice of wine on the altar to drink from after the blessing.
Remember, the more energy and work that you put into your blessing ceremony , the
more magical energy it will take on. You may even use an energy bell or Tibetan bell
to signify that you are beginning to call those spiritual guides to assist you with your
blessing of the rings. Once you have found that place, take a smudge wand of Sage,
light it and begin to clear the air around the altar. Constantly, keep Love and Light in
your consciousness. Now, move to the four elements and ask for their guiding presence
and for their blessing for your rings.
Use a if needed to find the proper directions on the Earth.
North =Earth South = Fire East = Air West = Water Around = Spirit
Ask for their blessings and honor their assistance.
Next, begin to set up the altar, placing each of the two rings you wish to bless on the altar
gently and reverence. You may wish to use two 7 day candles (buy cheaply) to represent
the eternal presence of the God and Goddess in your life. Black for God, White for Goddess.
Red Candle for fire, incense for Air, small bowl of water for west, and salt for the Earth and North.
Once your altar is set up the way you want it, spend a few moments in quiet meditation
thinking about what this Ring Blessing Ceremony means to you. Now, allow the altar to
fill you with its magic and energy. Feel the magic around you. breathe in the Love and Light
from the Lord and Lady. Visual yourself and your love for each other revitalized because
of it's presence. See yourself b alling more healthy, whole, and wise.
Now, say aloud the Blessings you have written for each other.
Sprinkle the rings with Salt for North; (Earth)
Pass rings over or through the red candle flame;
South (Fire) Sprinkle rings with water,
West (Water) Pass rings through Incense smoke,
East; (Air) Say something like:
"We pledge these rings consecrated to the Lord and Lady
to each other as an outward symbol of our love for each other ."
Drink some wine from the Chalice holding it each to the others lips. Replace Chalice.
When you are ready to end your Ring Blessing Ritual; sound the bell once again, thanking
all elements for their presence and assistance.
Send them back to their humble abode harming none on their way.
Now, thank the Lord and Lady for their presence in your life.
Take a deep breath of the fresh magic around you and repeat: So mote it be!
