We’re now into the merry month of May, which means that handfasting season is upon us. Many people in the Pagan community opt to have a handfasting instead of the “traditional wedding” that our non-Pagan friends have. In some cases, it may be simply ceremonial — a couple declaring their love for one another without the benefit of a state license. For other couples, it can be tied in with a state marriage certification issued by a legally authorized party such as a clergyperson or justice of the peace. Either way, the handfasting is becoming more and more popular, as Pagan couples are seeing that there is indeed an alternative for non-Christians who want more than just a courthouse wedding. Today we’ll look at some of the things to keep in mind when you’re planning a handfasting, as well as tips to help make it a magical and successful day!

Handfasting History:

An Old Tradition Made New

In centuries gone by, handfasting was a popular custom in the British Isles. In rural areas, it could be weeks or even months before a clergyman happened to stop by your village, so couples learned to make allowances. A handfasting was the equivalent of today’s common-law marriage — a man and woman simply clasped hands and declared themselves married.

Handfasting History Spring is here, and love is in the air! For many people of Pagan faiths, this is the time of year for a handfasting ceremony. If you’re lucky enough to have someone you love this much, there are a few things you may want to keep in mind while planning your handfasting ceremony.

Handfasting Tips Sample Handfasting Ceremony If you’re planning on having a handfasting ceremony rather than a traditional wedding, you may want to work with your Pagan clergyperson on the writing of the vows. This is a sample ceremony that you can make adjustments to based upon your needs and your spiritual tradition. 

It’s become traditional to give each of your guests a small wedding favor. Typically, these are small trinkets with either the date of the event or the couples’ names on them. However, if you’re having a Pagan or Wiccan handfasting, rather than a traditional wedding ceremony, why not come up with an idea that celebrates your spiritual path, as well as announcing your commitment to the community?

Sun sign in Gemini: 

Gemini is one of the dual signs of the zodiac, multi faceted, multi task orientated, and sometimes close friends and relatives would say multi person…. :) 

Gemini is an air sign, ruled by the planet of communication Mercury, it’s easy to understand why some Gemini’s either have the gift of the gab or are at the very least chatty.

It’s not unusual to find a Gemini doing more than one thing at once, having two-part time jobs or signing up for all kinds of things.. The reason is because they have to keep busy, oh, don’t get me wrong they do have their lazy days, but for the most part they need to have plans, be making plans or doing something….

And while their airy nature allows them to be easy-going and flexible for most of the time, don’t be surprised when they tell you no, when they don’t want to do something they won’t it’s that simple. :) 

Thanks for your enjoyment of life Gemini, for your ability to get lots done in a little bit of time and your ability to move along with the flow of life… :)

Full Moon in Scorpio May 14 2014

This month’s full moon takes place in the sign of Scorpio. 

moonphasesmoving

Scorpio is one of the most intense signs in the zodiac, and the moon relates to our feelings/moods/emotions.. indicating this full moon could prove to be one of intense emotions. 

With the full moon in Scorpio you are asked to be aware of your emotions. Don’t act on what you think/feel is going on, make sure you find out the facts before making any accusations or taking actions that you may regret later…Be sure that your lover is cheating on you before accusing, keep feelings of jealousy, passion and desire in check…  

The Moon will be Void off Course at 3:16 pm. It will also be experiencing an opposition to the Sun… 

While the moon is void off course it is strongly suggested we not start projects or sign important documents or commit ourselves to people, events or places as we may have to retract our “promise” later, redo our projects or not finish them at all… or we may “regret” what we have signed at a later date… It is a good time to meditate, ponder and assess where we are .. And it’s a fabulous time to attend to routine tasks….

This months full moon will have more of an influence on those who have the following in their charts…
