Introduction
This is based off 2 combined Pagan rituals: Holy Water; Wiccan Water Blessing and Cathollic rites from the following sources Vatican II Water Blessing; Chapter XXVII Holy Water. They all follow the same basic pattern and outline. The Catholic version is more verbose and specifically mentions the Father, viagra
Son,
and the Holy Ghost and other Christians specific theology.
My cermony is simpler and has the same basic parts and is more flexible. It could be made more Catholic like by adding more text.

I call upon you and need your assistance in this moment.

of all negativity both seen and unseen,
and bless thee in the name of the spirit and creator.”
(Imagine a small blue-white light filling the water. Take your time.)
Exorcism of Water (Catholic)
O water, creature of God, I exorcise you in the name of God the Father almighty, and in the name of Jesus Christ His Son, our Lord, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. I exorcise you so that you may put to flight all the power of the Enemy, and be able to root out and supplant that Enemy with his apostate angels: through the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will come to judge the living and the dead and the world by lire. Amen.

O salt, creature of God, I exorcise you by the living God, by the true God, by the holy God, by the God who ordered you to be poured into the water by Eliseus the Prophet so that its life-giving powers might be restored. I exorcise you so that you may become a means of salvation for believers, that you may bring health of soul and body to all who make use of you, and that you may put to flight and drive away from the places where you are sprinkled every apparition, villainy, and turn of devilish deceit, and every unclean spirit, adjured by Him Who will come to judge the living and the dead and the world by fire. Amen.
Cleansing (Pagan and Catholic)
(While performing the 3 fold cross – Catholic)

(Add three pinches of salt to the water stir three times.
Hold the container at eye level with both hands and say)
“I cleanse and consecrate this water in the name of the spirit and creator,
May this liquid enhance and purify all that it touches.
So mote it be!”
Conclusion (Catholic)
“Humbly and fearfully do we pray to Thee, O Lord, and we ask Thee to look with favor on this salt and water which Thou has created. Shine on it with the light of Thy kindness. Sanctify it by the dew of Thy love, so that, through the invocation of Thy holy name, wherever this water and salt is sprinkled it may turn aside every attack of the unclean spirit and dispel the terror of the poisonous serpent. And wherever we may be, make the Holy Spirit present to us who now implore Thy mercy. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.”
Conclusion (Pagan)
“With the water so blessed, May this harm none.
With these final words let it be done. So mote it be and blessed be .”
