Dedication Ritual
This is a free ritual from the New Moon Occult Shop site. New Moon is the best place to source everything you need to do your own rituals. I recommend contacting them directly and asking for help finding just what you need as often they will source things they don't usually carry in stock.

YOU WILL NEED:
Three white candles
One red candle
Matches or lighter
Sweet smelling incense, such as rose (stick or cone is fine)
A cup with water
A quiet place
SETUP:
This must be done on the night of the full moon.
Place the three white candles in the form of a triangle.
Place the red candle in the middle.
Place the water to the left side of the triangle of candles.
Place the incense to the right side of the triangle of candles.
SELF-DEDICATION CEREMONY:
Meditate before doing the ceremony.
Light the white tip candle and envision white light shooting up from the
earth into the candle.
Light the remaining white candles while saying your name.
Light the incense and walk around the candles while saying [NOTE: If you
cannot walk around the candles, simply rotate the incense in a circle
around them.]:
"On this night, I come before the elements asking for the guardians to
arise. Open the path, open the gates, open the way, I am here."
Light the red candle.
Say why you have chosen Wicca. [NOTE: Be honest with this step. Do not
simply state that you want to be a Wiccan. Do some serious soul
searching and put your heart in it. You can keep it to one sentence or
prepare an elaborate speech.]
Stand in the form of the pentagram and say [NOTE: Standing in the form
of the pentagram means raising your arms to shoulder height and
spreading your feet about two feet apart.]:
"Earth Mother, I invoke you."
Stay in this position for a few moments.
Kneel before the candles and take the water.
Pass it through the incense and over the candles while saying:
"Bless me Earth Mother, with this water charge your energies inside."
Put the cup of water down and place your palms over it while envisioning
a white light coming from the earth, filling the water.
Say:
"As to earth, as to me, may this water purify me."
Hold the cup high over your head and say:
"Open the path, open the gates, open the way, I am here."
Drink the charged water. Put out the red candle and say:
"Great Earth Mother Blessed Be, I am charged, so mote it be."
Let the white candles burn themselves out.
