1491 Dion Fortune. Blessing Salt + Water. (Pointing 1st + 2nd fingers at the Salt) I exorcise thee, creature of earth, by the living God [cross symbol], by the holy God [cross symbol], by the omnipotent God [cross symbol], that thou mayest be purified of all evil influences in the Name of Adonai, Who is Lord of Angels and of men. (Extending hand over salt) Creature of earth, adore thy Creature. In the Name of God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of Jesus Christ His Son, our Saviour, I consecrate thee [cross symbol] to the service of God, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. (Pointing 1st + 2nd fingers at the water) I exorcise thee, creature of water, by the living God [cup-and-cross symbol], by the holy God [cup-and-cross symbol], by the omnipotent God [cup-and-cross symbol], that thou mayest be purified from all evil influences in the Name of Elohim Sabaoth Who is the Lord of Angels and of men. (Extending hand over water) Creature of water, adore thy Creator. In the Name of God the Father Almighty, Who decreed a firmament in the midst of the water, and of Jesus Christ His Son our Saviour, I consecrate Thee [cup-and-cross symbol] to the service of God, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 1492 (Casting the salt into the water.) We pray Thee, O God, Lord of Heaven and Earth, and all that in them is, both visible and invisible, that Thou mayest stretch forth the right hand of Thy power upon these creatures of the elements and hallow them in Thy holy Name. Grant that this salt may make for health of body and this water for health of Soul, and that there may be banished from the place where they are used every power of adversity and every illusion and artifice of evil, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen." The water thus consecrated may be used as a bath, for making the sign of the Cross upon the forehead, or for sprinkling about a place. When thus using it the following prayer may be employed: "In the Name which is above every other name, and in the power of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, I exorcise all influences and seeds of evil; I lay upon them the spell of Christ's Holy Church, that they may be bound fast as with chains, and cast into outer darkness, that they trouble not the servants of God." In pointing or making the Sign of the Cross [cross symbol] the first and second fingers are extended and the third and fourth are bent towards the palm of the hand. and the thumb laid upon their nails. When the hand is extended in blessing over the salt and water, it is held flat, fingers together + parallel, the thumb stretched at right angles to the forefinger. Notes: - The text is the "blessing of salt and water" ritual published in Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self-Defence" (1930); the heading "Dion Fortune." names the source. - "Adonai" and "Elohim Sabaoth" are Hebrew divine names ("my Lord"; "God of hosts"). - The small drawn symbols are marked [cross symbol] and [cup-and-cross symbol]; the salt and water blessings use different forms.
