Service List
Hand Fasting
A Wiccan handfasting is a spiritual wedding or commitment ceremony in which a couple’s hands are ritually bound together with a cord or ribbon to symbolize their union. Rooted in ancient pagan traditions, handfasting can be temporary (for a year and a day) or lifelong, depending on the couple’s intent. The ceremony often includes blessings, elemental invocations, and the exchange of vows, reflecting Wiccan beliefs in love, harmony, and the sacred cycles of nature.
New House Blessing
A Wiccan house blessing is a ritual performed to cleanse and protect a home while inviting positive energy, harmony, and prosperity. It often includes the use of elements such as salt, water, incense, and candles, along with chants, blessings, or symbols like pentagrams. The ritual may call upon deities, spirits, or elemental forces to safeguard the space and create a sanctuary of peace and well-being for those who dwell there.
House Cleansing
A Wiccan house cleansing is a ritual to clear negative energy and renew a home’s spiritual balance. It typically involves smudging with sage or other cleansing herbs, sprinkling blessed water or salt, and using chants, candles, or symbols for purification. The ritual may call upon deities, spirits, or the elements to banish unwanted energies, creating a space filled with harmony, protection, and positive intent.
Wiccaning Ritual
A Wiccaning is a baby blessing ceremony in Wiccan and Pagan traditions, similar to a christening but without binding the child to a specific path. It welcomes the baby into the world and the spiritual community, invoking the protection and blessings of the God, Goddess, and elemental forces. The ritual often includes anointing, a naming, and the presence of family and friends, who pledge to guide and support the child on their own spiritual journey.
Croning Ritual
A Wiccan Croning ritual is a sacred ceremony that honors a woman’s transition into the Crone phase of life, typically marking menopause or later years. It celebrates her wisdom, life experiences, and spiritual growth, recognizing her as an elder and guide within the community. The ritual often includes blessings, symbolic rites of transformation, and the support of loved ones, affirming the Crone’s power, intuition, and deep connection to the cycles of nature.
