Pipe sound will be your ceremony background and we will perform the ancient
celtic rites.
Druids usually officiated wedding ceremonies. Bride and
groom were supposed to purify themselves seven days before the wedding
took place, using the classical elements ( earth, air, water
and fire). They also had to make a rope together, usually white and red,
as a symbolical union of the feminine and masculine sides.
The day before marriage was dedicated to prepare offerings for “thin energies”.
The rites were performed into the woods, close to sacred founts, or in clearings
bordered by stone circles. The couple had to choose a stone for
the ceremony, wash and purify it. This stone
would stand for the historical memory of their family and would be passed from
generation to generation. During the ceremony, the couple would drink mead from
the same cup and then they would light up a sacred fire as a
symbol of their love and passion. Handfasting could then take place with the
rope the couple had made and it was kept as a sort of wedding ring. Handfasting
was celebrated with a tinny rod decoarted with two animals at
each end: a serpent and a bull, the female and male divinities. The wedding was
concluded with music and circle dances.
