Today, more and more couples are looking for a way to express a deeper commitment to each other during the wedding ceremony.
Tie The Knot with a Handfasting
The Handfasting Wedding Tradition
The concept of a Handfasting is said to have originated with the ancient Celtic culture generally thought to be an engagement ceremony binding for a year and a day. But research shows the handfasting ritual (in some form) is found in almost everyone's ancestry and is a permanent commitment ritual of ancient history. Rev Pam helps interested couples today use this magical tradition for ways to show their commitment to each other and blending families together. The term "tie the knot", or "give one's hand in marriage" which is still in common use today, originated with the practice of handfasting. And Rev Pam writes and performs several dozen every year.
Rev Pam notes that many couples have been married before and want their new partner to know a greater level of commitment. Or they have children from another marriage and want them to feel apart of the ceremony that is going to change their lives too. And some are soulmates, and want to declare their love. All perfectly illustrated by adding the symbolic handfasting ritual. Rev Pam is an expert at blending faith, family and tradition into one meaningful wedding ceremony. She writes and performs large or small ceremonies for all couples whether they prefer a religious, spiritual, non-religious, interfaith or multi-cultural ceremony.

Full Moon Meaning
Moon Phases Power and Energy
When should Rev Pam make your Handfasting cord?
The full moons have names corresponding to the calendar months and the seasons of the year. Apx every 20 years, February has no full moon at all and 7 out of every 19 years, two full moons will fall in the same calendar month. The second of the month’s full moons is called the Blue Moon. Because this doesn't happen very often, it gives us the vernacular "Once in a blue moon."
DID YOU KNOW? Using the seasons and the moon to do prayer work is very old and found in every culture. The Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325) calculate the dates for Lent and the date of Easter as the Sunday following the paschal full moon, which is the full moon that falls on or after the vernal (spring) equinox.
New Moon workings can be done from the day of the new moon to three-and-a-half days after. The new moon is for starting new ventures, new beginnings. Also love and romance, health or job hunting.
The waxing moon is for constructive magic, such as love, wealth, success, courage, friendship, luck and health. Symbolic of growth, manifestation, attainment, gravity (heavy with child - both philosophical and literal).
Full Moon Magic Prime time for rituals for prophecy, protection, divination. Any working that needs extra power, such as help finding a new job or healing for serious conditions, can be done now. Also, love, knowledge, legal undertakings, money and dreams.
The waning moon is used for banishing magick, for ridding oneself of addictions, illness or negativity.
The dark moon is a time for ridding oneself of bad habits, Binding spells, for exploring our darkest recesses and understanding our angers and passions. Also bringing justice to bear.
The Blue Moon This is an especially magical time, think of it as a lunar bonus round, a chance to ask for special "once in a blue moon" favors, or to work with "once in a lifetime" spells.
