I arrived at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center for 7pm to help set up. It was pitch black, and I had to navigate my way through bumpy roads and around big rocks. It was exciting! I reached the Temple and met up with the members and friends from the Tree. The ceremony began at 8pm. Everyone made themselves comfortable on blankets surrounding the sacred circle.
Andrew setting the mood...
This is what was on the ground as we approached the temple. Hmmm... a pentagram, suspicious indeed...:)
Michy and Tim were filthy. They had to wash themselves before the ceremony...JK they were cleansing themselves...
Entering the sacred circle...Everyone who entered had to turn around and be blessed...
Michy passed out cake to those who attended...Another yummy treat...
Michy and Tim were wrapped in their wedding blanket. Gabriel was blessing and giving thanks to the spirits of the North, South, East & West. Everyone turned toward all directions.
Mich had to circle Tim seven times.
They both jumped over a fire, signifying jumping into a new beginning, the other side= marriage.
More blessings...It was nice and intimate ceremony, they both looked truly happy. They said some vows, and also had their own personal vows, which we couldn't hear. They covered themselves in a blanket and whispered them to each other. People were allowed to enter the circle to offer their personal blessings as well. Many people said some very nice, heart felt things. Michy had requested for her family and friends to read a blessing. She asked me to read this one:
May the blessings of this union bring healing to those who are wounded, and joy to those who are broken hearted.
Congrats to you both!
