The Sacred Ceremony

Today more than ever, people are adding deeper meaning to their lives.  The idea of uniting with nature and each other is a very meaningful and spiritual experience that many couples hold sacred.

 When two people come together and truly awaken to the depth and the power of their commitment, you can literally sense the Gods, Goddesses, the angels, the ancestors and the spirit guides filling the space. They are there to help the couple live the power of the moment and to bear witness to their promises … so they can guide and help this couple as the years go by. That’s why it is so important to fully utilize the wedding ceremony as not just the start of the big wedding celebration, but as a true rite of passage that takes bride and groom to the next level of their love and gives their relationship a strong foundation to build on over time.

All weddings ceremonies have a rhythm, and a life, of their own. The energy comes alive as the bride walks to the altar and it builds like a symphony with each segment of the ceremony. By the time vows are exchange, it is as if the heavens open to rain love upon the gathering. Couples can seize the opportunity to unite not just their hearts, lives and families, but to unite their very beings.An ideal way to begin the ceremony is by playing a quartz crystal singing bowl - crystal bowl music emits a pure holographic template of radiant light that corresponds to the octave of sound within our etheric body.  Clear quartz contains the full spectrum of light that is related to the seven energy centers or chakras.

An extraordinary energy is created when two people in love literally step up to commit themselves to sacred union. As I am frequently called upon to solemnize marriage vows outside of traditional religious settings ranging from a quiet beach to an enchanted forest, I see that a holy temple can be created anywhere…. anywhere love is present..

 Although many of us grew up attending traditional weddings, in churches, synagogues and temples, in recent years we have seen the emergence of a new type of wedding, where couples marry outside a formal house of worship. They often opt for ceremonies that are non traditional, personal and unique. Whether they include religious traditions, or not, most couples want their ceremony to be sacred.

The concept of the sacred marriage or sacred love ceremony originated with the ancients, who typically enacted annual ceremonies to bring fertility and prosperity. Many cultures enacted or emulated sexual rites between God and Goddess, or between the Gods and a human who “impersonated” or energetically acted out the role of a deity. The Greeks called it Hieros Gamos. Many mythologies describe it as a marriage between heaven and earth. In ancient Egypt, the marriage between Isis and Osiris was considered sacred union of heaven and earth, of yin and yang, of the feminine and the masculine principles.

In the Hindu tradition, man and woman came to the wedding altar as God and Goddess in human form. To this day, in many parts of India, the bride is looked upon as Goddess Lakshmi (who rules abundance, prosperity and beauty) and the groom as Lakshmi’s consort, Lord Vishnu (the Great Preserver, and a God who incarnated as Krishna).

The Celtic tradition brought forth one of the most widely practiced forms of sacred ceremony today -- the hand fasting. It was once a form of “engagement” that committed couples for a year and day. If they found marriage suitable, they’d marry. It grew into a self-initiated ceremony couples would conduct in the days before there was such as thing as a wedding officiant. The custom is still widely practiced in the Pagan community, often presided over by a High Priestess and High Priest to represent male and female energies. (One of them has to be a clergy registered to perform legal marriages).

Many couples relish the idea of a memorable and special sacred ceremony – but they want to tread lightly on some of the traditions and trimmings that relatives with strong religious beliefs would find upsetting or offensive. They also want ceremonies that are welcoming to loved ones and can easily include the participation of friends and family.

 The modern sacred love wedding ceremony is one that has to be crafted by and for each individual couple. It’s rarely something you can just pull out of a book. It’s personalized, and has to include elements that will help that couple truly seize on the energy of the moment – such as creating a sanctified space that is like a sacred container for their love and vows.

 Some things to consider as you plan and prepare for your sacred love ceremony:   

Selecting an auspicious time and date:

In the Eastern traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism wedding dates are decided upon with the assistance of professional astrologer. It is firmly believed marriage rites should occur on a day that reflects the most astrologically favorable aspects for love and commitment for both the bride and groom. Many modern couples ask astrologers to suggest dates.
