This Tuesday is the new moon, and I've chosen it to be the day I begin my dedication with the first spell thereof (in my mind, dedication isn't just a one-time thing, but something that you live. Whereas initiation into an order or coven or whatnot is a onetime thing, or once per degree in some orders, dedication is something you have, not just something you do; further, just as you can go through multiple initiations as you gain degrees in the orders, you can refine your personal dedication and perform other rituals as you advance in your knowledge and understanding. But I digress).

I've got a few spells that are going to be part of this ritual, and I'm finalizing the exact sequence of events. My question is, does anyone have any suggestions for things that I should include in this time? I'm already going to go through a cleansing in the shower, and I won't be using any candles or physical tools - rather, my body will represent the tools and elements. But any other ideas that anyone has before I do this?
