Magickal Weddings

This book has alot of useful info about Handfastings, also it has a good description of when and where it all began.

Wedding Bliss-We love this book!

My spouse and I had great fun and success using this book to plan our wedding. Many chapters talk about the symbolism of different elements that can be added to the ceremony to make it richer and more meaningful. Looking back, the day was so special and magical because of the rich symbolism that we added with the help of this book. There is also a wonderful chapter on writing your own vows. And the book offered plenty of practical advise as well. It was full of ideas, charts and budgets. We love this book!

Terrific

I really enjoy this book. I found the explainations of dates and times for weddings helpful and handy (as my fiance and I debate the date with our parents.) Her easy, welcoming style in much appriciated. All in all a very inclusive effort.

Great Book on Handfastings!

Although I follow the Reclaiming Pagan/Wiccan tradition, I found this book very user friendly for all types of Wiccan & magical weddings & handfastings. It is very straight forward, informative, and supportive.

Wicca, Weddings & Magic!

My partner and I wanted our union to be special. We found bits and bytes of information around, but Magickal Weddings seems to have it all. This treaure makes it so easy to manage all the details and make the right choices. It takes the couple through the ceremony from start to finish, has chapters detailing beautiful Celtic and pagan traditions, and even has chapters on using astrology to find the perfect time to wed. My spouse loved the chapter on using divination techniques like the pendulum for further divine guidance. My favourite chapter holds lovely vows and instructions on how a couple can write their own heartful lyrics. This book is essential for handfasting couples and is likewise full of incredible ideas and information for couples who want to personalize a traditional wedding ceremony.
