Light the silver candle with the flame of the illuminator candle.

Begin your Dedication to the God by saying the following:

“God, I stand before you in the sacred place of power.
I open my heart to your spirit.
I open my mind to your wisdom.
I dedicate myself to the learning of your mysteries.
I dedicate my life to following the Wiccan path.
O Great Father, take me into your fold.
Protect me, teach me, heal me, and empower me.
Breathe your spirit in my body and make me complete.
Teach me to see through eyes that are wise.
Teach me to feel through a heart that is compassionate.
Teach to drink through lips that speak of kindness.
Teach me to hear through ears without prejudice.
Teach me to live in one with the Earth.
All powerful Lord, consort and protector of the Lady, I come to you as your
[son or daughter] [your magickal name].
From this moment forward I will follow your light and strive to learn the mysteries.”

Light the gold candle from the illuminator candle.

Pour the wine in the chalice and get your cakes.

Before you eat and drink, pour some of the wine and break off some of your cake into the libation bowl for the Lord and Lady.

Now drink wine, eat the cakes, and reflect on this ritual and how you have taken the first big step in changing your life.

When you are finished eating and drinking, thank the Lord and Lady for attending your dedication and snuff out the gold candle and the silver candles.

Take your athame and walk widdershins (counterclockwise) around the circle and to take it down.

Snuff out your illuminator candle and clean up. Make sure you take the contents of the libation bowl, the Lord and Lady’s portion of the feast, and give it back to the Earth. Go outdoors and pour it on the ground.

Congratulations! You have dedicated yourself to the Wiccan way of life. You may have enjoyed reading this dedication ritual, but keep in mind that ritual is primarily designed to be experienced, not read about. In other words, try it out!
