Celtic Ceremonies
Hi, my name is Jennifer Ramsay. I’m a storyteller and a celebrant. I facilitate personalized, nature-based Handfasting ceremonies, as well as other ceremonies to celebrate the Celtic Wheel of the Year.
Handfasting
Handfasting is an ancient, Celtic practice where a couple commit to each other by binding their hands together with cords (tying the knot) in a symbolic wedding.
I come from the Scottish Celtic tradition and offer a personalized, nature-based handfasting ceremony based on your needs and inspired by your unique love story.
If you are attracted to Celtic culture and would like to have a creative, meaningful wedding that you will both remember and treasure for the rest of your lives, please contact me.
Services:
- Personalized Handfasting ritual
- Help with planning the ceremony
- Inspirational ideas for the vows
- Co-creation of the couple’s love story
- In Asturias and surroundings
- In English and Spanish
Earth Cycles – The Celtic Wheel of the Year
We meet on the 8 festivals of the Celtic year to celebrate and reflect on how Earth’s cyclical seasons resonate within ourselves:
Samhain
We honour our ancestors and prepare to go within as we move into the darker part of the year.
Yule
The winter solstice. We celebrate the return of the light on the longest night of the year.
Imbolc
It is held on 1st February. It is a time of purification, inspiration and new beginnings.
Ostara
The equinox announces the arrival of spring. We celebrate balance and fertility.
Beltane
May 1st. Abundance and fire are present as the sexuality of life and earth is at its peak.
Litha
Summer solstice. The sun in its maximum vitality ensures the upcoming harvest will mature.
Lammas
August 1st. We express our gratitude to Mother Earth for her generosity.
Mabon
In the autumn equinox we let go of what no longer serves us as the autumn leaves fall from the trees.
Moon Cycles
I am passionate about moonolgy and work with the magic of the lunar cycles, following the monthly cycle of the moon to help create the life I dream of. The new moon is the time to connect with inner wishes and set intentions and the light of the full moon is ideal for reflecting on your live.
In Story Arte we tune into the different lunar energies as the moon moves through the different signs of the zodiac and reflect on how this resonates within us, as we in turn pass through the 8 arquetypes of our moon cycle.
Red Tent
The Red Tent is a sacred space to celebrate female cyclicity. We gather together in circle to nurture one another and share experiences about the different stages and challenges of womanhood.
We may sing, dance, drum and step into ancient myths to explore our emotions, feelings, thoughts and go inside our body temples to get in touch with who we truly are.
