Wiccan Hand-Fasting
A Wiccan Hand-fasting is a legally recognized ritual of Marriage if performed by an officiating Priestess of the Church of Wicca. Or a Civil Celebrant assisted by a Priestess of the Church of Wicca for religious reasons. It is a great celebration of two people who have found each other and discovered deep love. It is becoming more and more popular because of the beautiful wording in the ceremony, and because of the originality of its essence in History. It is full of symbolism and ritual and touches the heart of all who endeavor in its ritual, whether they are Wiccan or not. This Ceremony is specifically designed for the couple and their needs, particularly their heritage.
THE BINDING CEREMONY:
This is probably one of the most important aspects of the Hand-Fasting. It is where the couple have a 3 metre length of red cord or ribbon, and it is ceremonially tied around the couples wrists as a symbol of umbilicus between the two. For from this day on they will be walking hand in hand through life on a journey of wedded bliss and sometimes not so blissful. It is this symbol which teaches the newly weds to give and take, and that their will be many storms, and they will come, but they will go quickly.
THE BLESSING OF THE FOUR DIRECTIONS:
The Four Directions are also Invoked starting in the East; the Element of Air, and of the mind and your dreams and aspirations for your future. Then the South, the place and Element of Fire, and of the heart and the essence of that eternal light that is within each and every living creature. Then the West, the Element of Water, and of the ebb and flow of the tides of life. The compassion's and trusts filled with emotions of change. Then and finally the North, the Element of the Earth,of every thing physical, it is the realm of respect and trust, of law and solidarity. Its about the commitment of this ceremony each to the other.

This book outlines an ancient system that uses Internal and External Alchemising to heal and cause a reawakening of the Awareness of other levels of Conscious Existence. By improving our communication with our subtler levels of rhythm and change, we can move more easily and completely into the Age of Aquarius.
The changes of the Dawning Age are inevitable, part of the macrocosmic tides, but it is up to us, as individuals, and as a planet, whether these changes are forward or backward. We have made the choice to be incarnate at this time, we must now make the choice that we will decide whether we use the energy to recapture the past, by attributing all that happens to our external Gods and Goddesses, fix the development of the future by limited or one sided projection, or learn at last to grow and take our place in the flow by Awakening our potential sensitivities and love.
The system outlined is functionally complete as it is, but at the same time it is an Art. It can and must be developed and shaped by each situation it is used in. You will find that the results are proportional to the amount of Artistic involvement you invest. Use your intellect to develop rather than inhibit your experiences.
Initiation and the Tarot “An Internal Alchemy for the Modern Wicce”, challenges the modern Seeker of Truth, with a series of lessons that are practical in the advancement of the training of a Witch into becoming a Priest or Priestess of the Old Religion now known as Wicca.
