Handfasting Details

Handfasting and Wedding Rituals is a comprehensive resource that gives you all the information you need in order to perform a handfasting service. While handfasting has its origins in pagan tradition, in the last several years it has really grown in popularity. Nowadays it's not suprising at all to see some form of handfasting incporporated into wedding ceremonies of many faith traditions.

This book by authors Tannin Schwartzstein and Raven Kaldera will walk you through the history of the rite, invocations you can use during the ceremony, appropriate readings, suggestions for vows, and details on types of cords and knots to use. In addition, a whole section is devoted to incoporating handfasting into interfaith ceremonies involving paganism, as well as suggestions on how to include it in non-pagan weddings. This is a must have for professional wedding officiants.
