Bless A Statuette

1. Think about what kind of blessing or power you want to imbue your statue with.

2. Once you’ve decided, lay the runes that correspond to the kind of blessing you have picked in a circle around the statue. For example, if I wanted to imbue a statue with joy and optimism, I’d set out Wunjo, Sowelo, and maybe Jera if I was going for a more long-term effect. Make sure that none of the runes are reversed unless you want the reversed interpretation!

3. Make an offering to your patron god in front of the statuette. Once you have recited your usual blessings, ask for the god’s power to bring the blessings you wish into the statue. 

4. End the ritual by clapping your hands four times, for Ansuz. This rune has an air of knowledge and godliness that will help seal the blessings into your statuette. 

5. Clean up your work space and put the statuette somewhere safe.
