1 Before the anvil is made, the smith prays and petitions that it will be reliable, powerful, and will bring luck.

2 When the anvil is complete, it’s hidden until its activation ceremony.

3 The owner of the new anvil gives a feast in honor of the anvil.

4 After drinking and dining, the anvil is brought out to receive the crowd’s admiration. Placed in the center of the table, it becomes an instant altar.

5 A white candle is placed atop the anvil, with another placed at each side, for a total of three candles.

6 The smith leads prayers that the anvil will bring healing, prosperity, and baraka.

7 The smith strikes the anvil for the first time, then the crowd showers it with offerings—small metal coins, libations of brandy—so that good fortune will be shared by all.
