It’s essential to bless your new jewelry, as you can’t always know its history or the energies it has encountered.
Even if you receive an item that’s brand new, countless people have probably touched it and imparted their energy.
The artisans who crafted it might have had a difficult day, the individual who packed your order could have experienced a significant argument, and the delivery person will also, in a way, transfer energies to your fresh piece of jewelry.
By blessing and cleansing your new jewelry, you effectively “reset” it, ensuring it does not harbor any negative or unwanted energies.
It is wise to perform this ritual anytime you acquire a new magical item intended for your spiritual practices.
Some individuals go to extremes and bless EVERYTHING that enters their home. While this isn’t strictly necessary, it’s true that some people are more attuned to energies than others 🙂
There are numerous methods to bless and cleanse, but here’s a very efficient and simple way to Cleanse, Bless, and Claim your new Wiccan Jewelry!
Step 1: Cleanse
Begin by placing your new necklace or talisman under running water (or using a bowl of water, if that suits you better). Cradle it in both hands while holding it under the water.
This process will assist in purging any negative emotions associated with the pendant.
Step 2: Bless
While the item is in the water, recite a cleansing prayer or simply close your eyes and ask your deities to purify, cleanse, and bless your new necklace. Maintain this hold for about a minute. If you sense a significant amount of negative energy, feel free to extend this duration.
Once done, gently dry it with a paper towel or a similar cloth.
Step 3: Claim
The final step is to charge your new magical amulet. A beneficial method is to wear it directly on your skin for the next 7-9 days.
Remove it only when showering (if necessary).
This will create a bond between you and the item. It will experience the same emotions, events, and feelings as you do. Avoid allowing anyone to deliberately touch it. If someone accidentally comes into contact with it, that’s generally fine. However, if someone intentionally handles it or infuses it with negative energy, it’s often best to start the process again.
After 7-9 days, your item will be charged with your energy and rightfully yours!
Note: If you purchase a new Pentacle necklace from a store like The Moonlight Shop or similar, you won’t need to submerge it for long. Usually, fresh items from a Wicca shop don’t carry much negative energy. Yet, wearing it for 7-9 days is still advisable to “claim it”.
