\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Paganism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are more options than just having a traditional white wedding. Paganism is a real religion that is, unlike many religions, very recent. There was no such thing as the religion, and people would not identify as Pagan<\/a>, until the 20th<\/sup> century. Before then, it was seen as an insult (it meant \u201creligion of the peasants\u201d). Like several terms in use today, a group reclaimed the word and the meaning and now it is a growing body of people. More accurately, those who practise a Pagan religion today would be called Neo-Pagans. However, it is important to know that there is no text they follow and as such every group will be different. Mostly, they are strongly connected to nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with a little background on these\nhistoric religions and paganism. Paganism stems into three main branches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wicca.<\/strong> Also termed Pagan witchcraft. This faith focuses on the cycle of seasons and nature. Wicca focuses on ritual practices and was developed in the latter half of the 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Druidry.<\/strong> This involves the recreation of ancient Celtic practices, focusing on storytelling and poetry. Druidry promotes harmony, connection and a deep respect for nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asatru.<\/strong> More commonly called Heathenry. \u00c1satr\u00fa translates as \u201cFaith in the German Gods\u201d. Modern day practitioners use historical, archaeological and folkloric evidence as the basis of the faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stone Circles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can always hire a wedding venue with a lovely outside area so that you can utilise the gardens for your ceremony and then step indoors to finish your celebration. The Wedding Secret has plenty of manor houses<\/a> with amazing, large grounds to choose from.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\nif you truly want to have a Pagan wedding then there is nothing better than a\nNeolithic setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

England\nis lucky in that it has plenty of these sites across the country. The most\nfamous is, of course, Stonehenge, but there are plenty more besides. We\u2019ve gathered a few guaranteed to fit your\nNeolithic wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avebury Stones<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Located in Wiltshire this Neolithic and Bronze age\nceremonial site boasts the largest stone circles in Britain. Avebury and its\nsurroundings are UNESCO heritage sites. Free to enter, choose this\nspell-binding venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rollright\nStones<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds, this ancient\nsite gives you mysterious beauty and subtle energies. The intimate location\nprovides ultimate seclusion and endless rolling hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Castlerigg\nStones<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This atmospheric and dramatic site offers a stone\ncircle and panoramic views of the mountains and Helvellyn and High Seat for the\nmost idyllic of backdrops. The site was raised in 3000BC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swinside\nStones<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Also dating back to the Neolithic period, this area\nfeatures 55 stones up to three metres high. A legend notes that the people of\nthe area tried to build a church but the devil kept pulling it down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scotland also showcases majestic stone sites. The\nRing of Brodgar, the Callanish Stones, the Easter Aquhorthies stone circle and\nthe Standing Stones of Stennes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to expect at a Pagan ceremony<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Like many wedding ceremonies nowadays, couples can personalise their ceremony to get exactly what they want out of it. However, there are various rituals that you are likely to see at any Pagan wedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, the ceremony starts with the blessing of the space. This\nmight include burning incense, ringing bells, banging drums, sprinkling sacred\nwater or tossing flowers and herbs. This is done to purify the space and drive out any negative energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oftentimes\nthe person leading the ceremony will mention the elements: earth, air, water and fire. Each of these\nsymbolic building blocks of\nlife is then attributed a trait \u2013 physicality, intellect, emotions and passion, in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handfasting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

One of the most recognised practices at a Pagan wedding is handfasting<\/a>. This ritual originated from early Christian times. When a couple planned to marry, they had to wait for a clergyman to come from a larger town. Therefore, they took part in their own rituals to swear their love to each other in front of the village. Later, when a member of the clergy became available, they would swear their love in front of god. Because of this, handfasting rituals are sometimes also seen as engagement ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Northern Europe and Celtic lands, couples would\nclasp their hands together and make oaths of loyalty to one another. In addition, the person conducting the\nceremony would tie their hands together by ribbon, tartan or cords. This\nhandfasting type of ritual symbolically binds the couple together in a\ndeclaration of unity (hence to \u201ctie the knot\u201d). It was up to the individual\ncouple how long the bonds remained; some would remove the rope immediately\nafter the ceremony while others kept it tied for days or even weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Modern Paganism\nstarted to grow in the mid-20th<\/sup> century.\nThose who followed the religion sought marriage rituals that had historic\nsignificance. Ceremonies can be led by an officiant, Pagan clergy member or\neven a friend. Therefore, there is plenty of freedom in this type\nof ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jumping the Broom<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Jumping over a broom can also be common practice. A\nbroom in this instance symbolises a threshold \u2013 the line between the old single\nlife and the new married life. Brooms can also symbolise the sweeping away old\ndirt of your past to start a fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some\nsources claim that the broom in question is not the household cleaning implement\nbut in fact the plant. This yellow flowered shrub is known as \u201ccommon broom\u201d, \u201cCytisus\nscoparius\u201d, or simply \u201cbroom\u201d. It is a plant tightly linked with folklore; the\nWelsh character Blodeuwedd was supposedly made from broom, meadowsweet and oak.\nWhat\u2019s more, it is supposed to tame wild dogs and horses and a heavily flowered\nbranch brings plenitudes to couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As well\nas being tied to Pagan rituals, jumping the broom is a custom in Romani and\nAfrican American cultures. However, it was also a medieval phrase that meant,\nliterally, a \u201csham marriage\u201d. Although, this is probably just from the\nreligious class looking down on countryside marriage traditions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maypole<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Celebrations may also feature a maypole dance. There are many theories for the origin of the maypole but nobody can really decide which one is true. A lot of scholars believe that a maypole acts as an \u201caxis mundi<\/a>\u201d, the \u201ccentre of the world\u201d. Furthermore, Pagans had strong connections to trees and as such to wood and poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tall maypole comes attached with strings or ribbons and you\ndance around it, winding the ribbon around. Despite the name, its use is\nnot restricted to one month, and in fact some groups utilise it at midsummer. For many Pagans the pole is\na pillar that connects\nheaven and earth, a symbol of unity and binding together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legal Factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately,\nit is not currently legal to marry outdoors in England and Wales. However, if\nyou get the legal part out of the way first, you can complete your meaningful\nceremony outdoors. In this way, you are not restricted by laws of wording,\nreligion or celebrant. That is to say, you can use your own wording, rituals\nand personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of\ncourse, that doesn\u2019t mean you can pick any spot of green land. Make sure you\nare allowed to be there and to hold an event. We don\u2019t think a farmer would be\ntoo impressed to suddenly see a large group of people around his cows! Of\ncourse, there are also several outdoor venues that you can pay to hire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile\nin Scotland, you can have a perfectly legal outdoor wedding performed by a\nHumanist celebrant. If you live elsewhere, check your local laws before you get\nstuck too far into wedding preparations! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Marry<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Getting\nmarried on an ancient stone circle, henge or standing row can be a wonderful\nand symbolic way to get married.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
