All things new

We are having our Handfasting this coming October so we have been preparing a whole new ritual area in our yard. It’s a lot of time consuming work, but it really is a labor of love, and we promise to keep you updated with pictures as it develops into a magical space.

 .

When we started to plan our wedding last year, we asked for a few copies of current Handfasting ceremonies that are being used. I was really shocked at what I received. Most of the rituals were simply just non-rituals, and were more for people with atheist or non spiritual beliefs who really didn’t want the choice of getting married in a church or a legal court. Not a single one really had any traditional practices included what so ever, they were very short, just a few minutes set aside to say the “I do’s” and with no celebration of Wiccan or Pagan beliefs incorporated, not even the Great Rite.

After getting over the shock of what is accepted as a legal Handfasting ceremony, I decided it would be best if I wrote my own ceremony, making sure to bring in the old traditions. I will definitely be keeping you updated on this too.

The most exciting news of the week though, our Facebook store is up and running! We are selling tarot and oracle cards, as well as gemstones and crystals to start. Pop in and have a look at what we have.

All the products mentioned below are available in our store, just click on the links or pictures and it will take you to them.

Reading for the week ahead

This week’s reading is coming from the Tarot of the Angels

 

This is a card about taking responsibility for our actions. It is time for us to stop ignoring the destructive roles we play within or environments and circumstances and to start admitting the truth and taking corrective actions.

This card in the present stands as a warning to the future. Our decisions that we make now and the actions that we take now will have a huge affect on our future, we just need to decided if it will be a positive or a negative impact. Being truthful now will set us free whereas being negative will put us in situations where we will only destroy ourselves.

Gemstone for the week

 

Sodalite: A Gemstone for honesty. It helps with clarity and insight, giving you better understanding of situations, assisting you in making better decisions moving forward.

That is all from me today, may your week to come be filled with many blessings of joy, love and prosperity
