Ceremonies can help celebrate special times. They help us pause from the normal flow of life and connect to the deepest part of ourselves. We seek ceremony when something important and profound is being marked like the giving of a child's name or when a couple are married / handfasted.

Popular times for ceremonies are Waxing and Full Moons, Spring Equinox (21-23 Sept), Beltane (31 Oct), Winter and Summer Solstices, Lammas (2 Feb) and between the warmer months of September and April.

I can create and facilitate ceremonies for all occasions, such as:

	MARRIAGE / HANDFASTING AT BIRTH GIVING A CHILD A NAME GIVING A CEREMONY TO CELEBRATE A GIRL'S FIRST MENARCHE "LEAVING HOME" CEREMONY 21ST BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION SPECIAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS LIKE A 50TH SEPARATION OR DIVORCE CEREMONIES HOME BLESSINGS MOURNING CEREMONIES FUNERALS + special requests

You may be aware that the word Pagan comes from the Latin, paganus, which means "country-dweller."
Therefore the ancient religion of Paganism is based on natural seasonal cycles. All of my ceremonies are based on the earth and on nature.

As you can see I offer a number of ceremonies. Two of them are outlined below. Your ceremony however will be tailored to detail to suit your needs.
