Before these assembled spirits I bring (name type of tool) to be dedicated
to the service of the Lady and Lord.

(If this is a chalice, present it first to the Lady, then to the Lord,
if athame, reverse order. All other instruments use personal
preference, but it is courtesy to present them to Her first.)
PRESENTATION FOR CHALICE:
Lady Freya, Keeper of Femininity, bless this chalice. Let it be as Thy
cauldron, a vessel of productivity that it may be worthy to dispense
Thy bounty. Let it be used in Thy service and in the service of
humanity. Let it be so bound that no harm may come of it to any
being, but let it rather be an instrument of good-will and
understanding; of loving harmony. To Thy sacred self I dedicate this
vessel, (name of vessel), that it and I may long be of service to Thee.
Lord Thor, companion to the Lady, champion of the Gods, bless this
chalice and keep watch over it. Guard the works, which come forth
from it, that they ever be in the service of Thee and Thy Lady, that
they be of service to humankind, and that they abide by the laws of
harmony. To Thee I vow I shall use it for Her sacred purposes, and
for no other. So mote it be.
PRESENTATION FOR ATHAME:
Lord Thor, Thunderer & hammer wielder, bless this athame. Let it be
as the spring rains which fall upon the earth to cause Her to bring
forth Her bounty. Let it quicken my hopes and dreams, yet keep
them from causing harm. Let it guide them in the harmony of the
seasons, bringing forth only good for all. Lord Thor, bless this
athame, (name of athame), that it be used ever in the worship
and honor of the Gods.
Lady Freya, companion to the Thunderer, lover of the Gods, bless this
athame that it shall bring forth joy, and shall cause neither pain
nor disharmony to any. I dedicate this athame (name athame), symbol
of the Defender and Rain Maker, to Thy service. May it ever bring
Thee joy and pride. So mote it be.
(This ritual, with suitable changes, may be used to dedicate other tools
as well as these.)
