Celebrant West Midlands
Ceremonies for those with beliefs in Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, Shamanism, Pantheon or Eclectic Paganism, the Goddess.
“Marriage is a lifelong commitment to continue to build a loving partnership, to keep the freshness, the fun and excitement alive alongside the tasks that every-day living, and family life can bring. It’s expressing your feelings openly and honestly; and holding an acceptance and respect of each other through whatever may come…”
Blessed be… I’m a Shamanic practitioner – a Pagan Celebrant and honour the Pagan traditions be they new or old – whatever your beliefs may be… Wicca, Druidry, Asatru, Shamanism, the Goddess, Pantheon or Eclectic Paganism
I welcome people from all walks of life as we work together to create a very special ceremony be it a Wedding, Blessing, Handfasting, Naming or Funeral. I’ll work with you to ensure the ceremony matches your expectations, hopes, and dreams and it reflects your spiritual path.
My West Midlands Pagan Celebrant services currently cover the following areas, but are not limited to:

Handfasting – tied in love
Unity Candle – light by yourself and those family and friends important to you
Wine & Letter Box – an anniversary bottle of wine with a love letter to yourselves

Rose Ceremony – exchanging the first gift of a rose
Sand Ceremony – blending the sand as you blend your lives together
Stone – together, hands hold your special stone as you say your Vows

“Love is the great unifier — our one universal truth. That no matter who we are, where we’ve come from, what we believe, we know this one thing: love is what we’re doing right. We’ve all loved in our lifetimes, and in this moment, we’re reminded that the ability to love is the very best part of our humanity. Today marks a new beginning…”

O Great Spirit whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught us.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes
so when life fades as the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.
To get in touch, please telephone or email using the details below. I am available most days until late.
Alternatively you can send a message by using this contact form. I look forward to hearing from you.
