The story behind Consecration
Consecration language appears in temple worship, church rites, monastic life, royal ceremonies, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft.
Consecration in spiritual tradition
Spiritually, Consecration asks who or what something is being set apart for.
Consecration in the Bible
Biblical consecration is about belonging to God, holiness, worship, obedience, and covenant service.
Why Consecration matters
Consecration matters because Christian dedication and occult tool consecration use similar words for very different spiritual aims.
Consecration at work: an example
A page can say consecrating a life to Christ differs from consecrating a ritual tool for magic.
