Consecration of the magical tools
-
I had a quick question about consecration.
If one does not have the oil of Abramelin or any of the ingredients for such, and it is intent which is more important than material objects ( I think)
would consecrating with blood, or other bodily fluids be acceptable in the stead of oil?
Any pros or cons?
Would like to get Working as soon as possible so thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance

Most rules are somewhat arbitrary. But the value of following them, especially when it is difficult to do so, is that it trains your unconscious to take them seriously too... which might come in handy down the road when you're trying to evoke an aspect of your unconscious, or summon up some magickal force.
In other words, sometimes the difficulty itself is what adds to effectiveness.
Hasten slowly!

I feel like a racehorse chomping at my bit but I believe this jockey has a smart whip.
I bow to your sense

and thank you ! -
And don't get stuck on just one way of doing this (unless it's the one way that is calling most to you). While Abramelin is a perfectly fine general-purpose consecrating oil, the majority of consecration rituals you can find don't rely on it.

Many thanks to both of you for helping
I have been giving it some thought and you both seem right.
The work from getting all the oils and doing it the 'right way' would be good for me, and also this personal consecration is speaking to me strongly yet. Specifically the blood one for some reason, and as this is my first real wand that i have made from scratch, I will do it both ways.
First personally and then when I get the oils I will do it the proper way.
This will allow me to get the benefit of being able to do some work with it and also to get the discipline it takes to get all of the ingredients and make the oil.
How does that sound?
I thank you againJim your AA book is still providing excellent advice and knowledge as well I am very happy I bought it!
