Cleansing a Magick Sword
The following are suggestions for the care, cleansing and consecration of a magick sword based on instructions from the nineteenth century.
1. Build a fire from bay laurel and vervain.
2. Pass the sword through the smoke, actually holding it in the flame if this is safe and appropriate.
3. When it cools, wrap the sword in vervain leaves.
4. Swaddle it in white silk and maintain it this way when not in use.
