Handfasting - Goddesses and Gods?

Question

I'm getting handfasted at the end of the month and I'm looking for a good Celtic couple to invoke at the ceremony. Please help. )o( Blessed Be!

To answers like those of Summerbluerose..Did you ever think I'm happy with my path and words like those from people like you just convince me more that I'm doing what's right? You people seem like the evil ones.

All, mostly, of these answers are beautiful. If I could give points to everyone with a heart on this question , I would. As it stands I don't know if I can single out one as best. Thank you for all the well wishes and help.

Answer 1

Diana and Adonis, Ishtar and Tammuz, Freya and Odin, Ceridwen and Cernunos...by these and other names in other worlds are divine lovers known. Under the skies and on the face of Norrath, I call upon Erollisi Marr and Karana to bless this union!May the Spirit Circle All Ways Be Open
Flowing with Goodness and Freedom Wings

May the Peace of the Goddess and God
Beat Evermore in Your Heart
I FOUND THAT ON A SITE I WAS JUST LOOKING UP, THERE IS SO MUCH ON THE NET ON HANDFASTINGS I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING LOVLEY!!
AND LET ME JUST ADD.......
May the Goddess be with you and bless you.
May you two see your children's children.
May you both be poor in misfortunes
and rich in blessings.
May you two know nothing but happiness
from this day forward.
May the road rise up to meet you both.
May the wind always be at your backs.
May the sun shine warm upon your faces,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May the Goddess hold you both in the palm of her hand forever.
Blessed Be!!!

Below is a Handfasting ceremony I created decades ago, and performed for couples on several occaisons. If you would wish to make it part of your ceremony I would be proud.

Each bring with you to the ceremony:
1. A small piece of a blanket that has warmed you--That there should always be warmth through any cold nights the future might bring.

2. A small piece of earth from your home place--That you know the earth that nurtured you will always be with you.

3. A small piece natural food--That your bonding shall never know hunger.

4. A coin or bill--That the bonding may know shared prosperity.

5. Some small article that is yours and has been for a long while--So that each is always sharing that which was once their's alone.

6. A single hair--That each shall know there is always part of them
with the other.

7. A small folded piece of paper or parchment with a message written to the other...That the emotion of this day will never be lost.

Place these things, one at a time, in a bag made of natural material, while the reason for their placing is recited by the one who officiates.
A simple cord should be around the neck of the bag. The one who officiates makes the first loop of the knot then hands the ends to each who would bond. They pull the ends while saying, "What was two, is now one and together." The one who officiates takes the ends from them and tightly ties a second loop while saying, "Thus it is sealed, thus it is so."

Some say the bag should be placed above the door of the dwelling, and some say on a shelf, but it should always be in easy sight.

The Lore... All we ever were, we are, if we but listen.

Answer 3

My blessings to yourself and the groom.. I personally call upon these Celtic deities at times --- Cerridwen-- the keeper of the sacred cauldron.. & Cernunnos-- the Horned God.. or Brigit-- the goddess of fire.. & Lugh-- The God of craftmanship and also the Solar God..Also if I were you, I would evoke the Deities as opposed to invoke, but that is your choice.. I have a book --Inviting Hera's Blessing-- Handfasting and Wedding Rituals... by Raven Kaldera & Tannin Schwartzstein... This has a Celtic ritual in it.. The Celtic Sacred Grove Handfasting.. But I assume that your ritual is already planned... Love and Light.. Blessed Be.. )O(

Answer 4

Before a bunch of people come on to tell you how wrong you are and start mindlessly typing bible verses, let me just say good luck with everything and blessed be.

Answer 5

I'm a purist, I like to stick with the good old fashioned Lady and Lord. Best wishes for your ceremony. : )
Blessed be!

Answer 6

First of all, congratulations. Second of all, I would try asking around forums that are much more specifically orientated towards Paganism and Wicca. This board can be quite a mess! You could try groups.yahoo.com for starters.

Answer 7

I would go with the Lord and Lady.... and congrats!! May you both be greeted by Light and embraced by Love most true! Blessed be!

Answer 8

From Welsh mythology;
Rhiannon & Pwyll (or Mannawyddan)
Culhwch & Olwen (my faves, as theirs is the ultimate Welsh love myth.)
Pryderi & Kicva

Answer 9
