Set all the candles on the altar. Light the red pillar/taper and say this:
"I CALL TO THE ESSENCE OF REBIRTH PHOENIX FIREWIND, READY YOUR WOMB FOR I SHALL BE REBORN IN LIGHT"
Light incense and say:
"I ASK THAT MY PRAYERS AND CALLS BE SENT TO
THE ETERNAL ONENESS OF THE SPIRIT OF DIVINITY" Go to the Eastern portal and kneel, saying this: "I ASK THAT A CIRCLE BE CAST FORTH IN BLAZING LIGHT TO SET APART A SACRED SPACE THAT IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
THAT I CAN USE TO WORSHIP THE OLD ONES."
Go back to the altar in the center remembering to always walk clockwise (deosil) in the circle. Take the white votive, light it with the red candle called the *WORKING CANDLE* or W.C. for short, and carry to the east, hold it up and say
"I CALL TO THE ELEMENT OF THE WINDS
BE A PART OF THIS DEDICATION CIRCLE
IMPARTING YOUR WISDOM. SO MOTE IT BE."
Walk Deosil back to the altar, and light the Red or White votive with the W.C., and carry to the south, hold it up and say:
"I CALL TO THE ELEMENT OF THE FLAMES
BE A PART OF THIS DEDICATION CIRCLE
IMPARTING YOUR POWER. SO MOTE IT BE."
Walk Deosil back to the altar, and light the Blue or White votive with the W.C., and carry to the west, hold it up and say:

"I CALL TO THE ELEMENT OF THE SEAS
BE A PART OF THIS DEDICATION CIRCLE
IMPARTING YOUR CHANGE. SO MOTE IT BE.
Walk Deosil back to the altar, and light the Green or White votive with the W.C., and carry to the north, hold it up and say:
"I CALL TO THE ELEMENT OF THE STONES
BE A PART OF THIS DEDICATION CIRCLE
IMPARTING YOUR STABILITY. SO MOTE IT BE.
Walk Deosil around the circle once and
return to the East, hold up your hands and say: "I INVOKE AND CONJURE YE OH SIDHE (FAERYS) OF
THE EAST. SLYPHS AND SPRITES I SUMMON THEE.
COME TO THIS CIRCLE AND BE ONE IN MY RITES.

(Note - Sidhe is pronounced Shee)
Walk Deosil around the circle to the South,
hold up your hands and say:
"I INVOKE AND CONJURE YE OH SIDHE (FAERYS) OF THE SOUTH. SALAMANDERS AND DRACOS I SUMMON THEE. COME TO THIS CIRCLE AND BE ONE IN MY RITES.

Walk Deosil around the circle to the West,
hold up your hands and say:

"I INVOKE AND CONJURE YE OH SIDHE (FAERYS) OF
THE NORTH. GNOMES AND BEAN TIGHES I SUMMON THEE. COME TO THIS CIRCLE AND BE ONE IN MY RITES."
(note- Bean Tighe is pronounced BAN TEE-Gh)
Walk Deosil around the circle returning to
the Altar. If you are wearing a robe, or
any jewelry strip them off, and annoint
your chakaras, and the Wiccan 5 places
of power (feet, knees, genitals, breast, brow). As you annoint the 5 places say:
"Blessed be my feet, that walked to this place. Blessed be my knees that kneel to the Gods.
Blessed be my phallus/womb from which all life
springs.

Blessed be my breast/s strong and bold/nuturing and warm.

Blessed be my brow that I might know the Gods. Take the oil.. annoint your head with a celtic
cross

(an equilateral cross within a circle), your heart with the pentacle, and then your left breast,
genitals, and right breast forming the sacred triangle. Take the censer and cense around you and your hair,

and the sprinkle salt in your hair. At this point, if you wish, you may put back on your robe, and if you have jewelry, cense it, and the put it
back on.
Light the White taper you have decided will be
the White taper of the God and kneel down.
Say:
"Oh Holy God, Sun King, Oak King, and Winter King. You are always within me. And my love is always yours. It is to you my heart calls. And i ask
in your name, to be dedicated in the Craft.
Burn like this candle, ever within me, and know that I love you. So mote it be."
Kneel, squat, or sit down lotus/indian style and meditate to the God. In your meditation, view him and tell him how much you love him.
Light the White taper you have decided will
be the White taper of the Goddess and kneel
down.
Say:
"Oh Holy Goddess, Maiden, Mother, and Crone.
You are forever my mother. And my love is
always yours. It is to you that i am born.
And i ask in your name to be dedicated into
the Craft.
Burn like this candle, ever within me, and know that I love you. So mote it be."
Kneel, squat, or sit down lotus/indian style and meditate to the Goddess. In your meditation view her, and tell her how much you love her. Cut a bit your hair and put it in the censer, and while your hair burns cense the black cord. Wrap the black cord around your waist. This
is your cingulum. Your Wiccan's Belt. Black
is the symbolic color of death and rebirth.
If you wish sing or dance. Or listen to
the rest of your tape. Some tapes I like
for dedication rituals include:
Gypsy's Enchantress
Lady Isadora's The Witching Hour
Lady Isadora's Queen of Earth & Sky
N'Chi's Songs of the Sheya
Reclaiming Community's Ritual Chants.
I also like the Golden Bough's The Boatmaster's Daughter, because it adds a very celtic energy to the circle. But only when I am doing Celtic ritual. I wrote this so it could be used for most traditions.
Goddess Bless,
