New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Since June is such a traditional time for weddings, it may be helpful to have a special spell to charge the cord used to bind a couple together for Pagan handfastings. In my tradition, it is customary to use a red cord, though some choose other colors such as white. Once the proper cord or ribbon is chosen, it can be blessed by holding it in the smoke of a good love incense, such as equal parts dried rose petals, myrrh, yarrow flowers, and cinnamon.
To focus the intent, say these or similar words: "Charged with power to forge the link; magic cord our love to bind, promises pledged, vows to keep, two souls joined and fates entwined." The handfasting cord can then be stored in a natural cloth pouch for safekeeping until the day of the ceremony. |
