Now that you have a consecrated tool, you can use it to help focus and direct your energy when charging objects. Select an object you wish to carry for protection. Some stones that work well for this are black tourmaline, black obsidian, tiger’s eye and clear quartz.
Cleanse the stone by letting it soak in the bowl of blesse water for a few minutes. You can also expose to moonlight or sunlight* for an hour to cleanse it prior to your ritual. Focus your energy with the same visualization as you used to consecrate your tool. Hold your wand or athame and draw energy up from the earth, through the tool, and into the stone. Notice how the tool really helps channel your power! While visualizing and projecting your energy, you may wish to say Words of Power or vocalize an affirmation such as:
"Three time three I charge thee, to protect from harm to sento me."
* Caution
The color of some stones such as amehtyst, rose quartz, ruby, and aventurine may fade in sunlight. These are best cleansed in running water, moonlight, or censing. Minerals like calcite and selenite may be damaged by water and are best cleansed by censing and moonlight.
Clear quartz gets a powerful charge from sunlight, but use caution when sunning spheres, eggs, and other quartz with curved shapes as these are especially good at magnifying sunlight and starting fires.
