HandfastingPagan Ministry in Wales Handfasting is one of humanities oldest ritualistic celebrations, far preceding all concepts and ideas of formal religion or cultural expectation. It is most definitely not the sole domain of Wicca, which is barely 200 years old; nor is it anti Christian heresy from the burning times of 600 years ago; nor is it anti Papal Christianity as imposed by Rome , through the early missionaries, from AD 600 onwards. It is in fact the most ancient act of union dating from the dawn of time; the freely given loving declaration of two individuals, deriving from a time of innocence when gender and persuasion, though significant to the begetting of children, were not encumbrances for the union of a loving partnership. Love was naïve and uncomplicated, and as the saying goes “When ignorance is bliss ‘tis folly to be wise.
During the handfasting rite the couple joyously and honestly professed their love and commitment to a balanced harmonious partnership founded upon mutual equality. These declarations are made to one another in the presence of the Divine, residing in which ever aspect of Divinity one perceives. Their vows are spoken aloud, individually in turn, shared and witnessed by all present, declaring with total honesty their mutual loving intent, and acceptance of one another as they are, without exception. This is their truth and hopefully will last as long as love endures. The Rite requires at least two witnesses as the impartial advocates of this truth; but if there were no other fellow humans available to be witnesses, due to exceptional circumstances, then a couple would be just as adequately joined with only the Divine presence.

Come in my dear, don't be afraid, the cards will never harm, they merely allow you to take a glimpse at what MAY be; and to guide, remember the future is yours. Sit down, and cross my palm with silver......
Let me introduce myself I am the TalogWitch, that is to say the local seer and crone of the tiny Welsh hamlet of Talog, I have been reading Tarot for over 40 years. With your payment (via paypal) I also need you to send me 4 numbers between 1 and 22, your real name, and your question or concern; I will use the 'Celtic Short Draw' which uses only the 22 Major Arcana. After a lengthy shuffle with focused concentration I will remove the four cards corresponding to your chosen numbers; they form the cross, then their tarot numbers are added to reveal the central 'lead' card. I'll send the results as a full print-out for you to keep. (Do remember the time lag between countries, I am in Wales England) Any questions please contact me at talogwitch@btopenworld.com
Ordinary fortune-tellers tell you what you want to happen; witches tell you what's going to happen whether you want it to or not. Strangely enough, witches tend to be more accurate and less popular.
