Daily Praise – January 14, 2024

Jeremiah 29:11  ‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

GOD HAS PLANS FOR ME THAT I NEED TO ACCESS.

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.

Romans 13:11-12  Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep;

For now £salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. 12The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

I MOVE INTO THE CHRIST CALLING GOD HAS FOR ME THROUGH PRAISE.

Luke 9:23 - And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

WHEN JESUS CALLED HIS DISCIPLES, IT WAS FOR TOTAL COMMITMENT.  THEY HAD TO BE WILLING TO LEAVE EVERYTHING TO FOLLOW HIM.

DO WE? 

IF HE  IS NOT THE  LORD OF ALL, THEN  HE  IS  NOT  OUR LORD AT ALL.

This can be done with any crystal you plan on using with light magic. Like healing and protection magic.

Making Your Own Consecration Powder

My other jar broke so I’ve had to start over, but this is how you can get more use out of your incense to make a consecration powder or fill a mojo bag with it. You can bless each individual incense stick before you light it with a specific prayer or you can bless an entire box. Once the incense is done burning, collect the ash to put in a jar that can remain on your altar or in a safe, special place.

An example would be, if you’re using an incense to bring abundance or cash, you would already be using a money attraction scent. You wouldn’t mix the powder with other incense ash. This “money ash” would have its own jar. This is when you can make a money mojo bag, or use the ash to bless your wallet and your cash by rubbing the ash all over these items.

I got a new pendulum the other day and just want to remind everyone to consecrate your tools before using them. This banishes all negativity from them and claims them as your own. Here's an easy one i use:

Materials:

White Candle for South

Cup of water for West

Bowl of salt for North

Incense for East

If your tradition requires you to cast a circle, do so now. Light the candle and the incense. Take the tool or item you wish to consecrate in your hands, and face north. Sprinkle the salt over your tool and say:

Powers of the North,

Guardians of the Earth,

I consecrate this wand of willow (or knife of steel, amulet of crystal, etc)

and charge it with your energies.

I purify it this night and make this tool sacred.

Now, turn to the east and, holding the tool in the smoke of the incense, say:

Powers of the East,

Guardians of the Air,

I consecrate this wand of willow [or knife of steel, amulet of crystal, etc]

and charge it with your energies.

I purify it this night and make this tool sacred.

Next, face the south and pass the tool over the flame of the candle -- be careful if it's a flammable material such as Tarot cards or a robe -- and repeat the process, saying:

Powers of the South,

Guardians of fire

I consecrate this wand of willow [or knife of steel, amulet of crystal, etc]

and charge it with your energies.

I purify it this night and make this tool sacred.

Finally, turn to the west, and sprinkle some water over your tool. Say:

Powers of the West,

Guardians of Water,

I consecrate this wand of willow [or knife of steel, amulet of crystal, etc]

and charge it with your energies.

I purify it this night and make this tool sacred.

Face your altar, hold the wand (athame/chalice/amulet/whatever) to the sky, and say:

I charge this wand in the name of Old Ones,

the Ancients, the Sun and the Moon and the Stars.

By the powers of the Earth, of Air, of Fire and of Water

I banish the energies of any previous owners,

and make it new and fresh.

I consecrate this wand,

and it is mine.

On this day in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln rose to deliver "a few appropriate remarks" at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

-------------------------------------

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
