Pagan ceremonies

In times past, it was believed that the human soul shared characteristics with all things divine. In addition, Mothers Nature's elements of water, air, earth and wind are vital components to recognise existence and natural life-force. Love and strength are also honoured through the wheel of creation. These are some of the elements and celebrations which come with life and death in a pagan ceremony.

If the concept of a pagan-themed wedding ceremony appeals to you, Lucy will discuss the many ways it can be made to feel either more contemporary or more traditional - whichever best suits your beliefs and those who are coming to celebrate with you. We can stand in sacred circle, offer bread and mead, handfast and welcome in the elements, in as natural an environment and setting as you please. If you fancy wearing full costume, all the better!

This is a beautiful alternative to a traditional ceremony for those who want to celebrate the planet, nature and all that is good that comes from Earth, in a peaceful and very personal way.

It is in this tradition that a pagan blessing can be offered in support of any ceremony. Here is an example, just one of many possibilities:

Blessed be this union with the gifts of the air.
Communication of the heart, mind, and body
Fresh beginnings with the rising of each Sun.
The knowledge of the growth found in the sharing of silences.

Blessed be this union with the gifts of the sun.
Warmth of hearth and home
The heat of the heart's passion
The light created by both to illuminate the darkest of times.

Blessed be this union with the gifts of the water.
The deep commitments of the lake The swift excitement of the river
The refreshing cleansing of the rain
The all encompassing passion of the sea.

Blessed be this union with the gifts of the earth
Firm foundation on which to build
Fertility of the fields to enrich your lives
A stable home to which you may always return.
