So begins our adventure at the wonderful wedding show.

Hello friends and supporters. As I have joined the Weddingbella.ca team, I will be closing this page shortly in favour of advertising and posting through Weddingbella. If you notice this page disappear in the coming days, this is why.

Big News today! I have accepted an offer to join the Weddingbella team of marriage commissioners. Please take a look at the website!

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. It has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to give, which is why one shouldn’t go into marriage with the 50/50 assumption, but rather with the expectation of 100...

Late last fall I stuck this branch into the ground to mark the edge of my garden so I knew where I could drive my tractor in the winter time. I never got around to taking it down and now it’s started growing. It looks like I have a new tree on my yard.

I’ve never seen one of these before. Such beautiful colours.

I planted a sacred garden this year near my sacred grove. Thank you to Robert N Viola Plett for advising me to do it in the shape of the medicine wheel! The wheel is oriented to the cardinal directions and have Sweetgrass, Sage, Cedar, and To***co in their respective quarters. On the outside I have Yew, Lemon Verbena, Lavender, and Angelica. I plan to add many other sacred plants to the garden as I find them.

This little tree frog lives around our deck and sometimes spend the daytime resting on our window. My kids have named him Theo.

Initiation Ceremony
Do you want to be initiated into your pagan tradition but don't have a group?
Perhaps you are a new member of an order or online coven and you don't have someone to initiate you.

Choose from one of the pre-written rituals from my Grimoire. These ceremonies are not customizable but you are able to insert the names of your own deities if you so choose. Then invite as many guests and participants as you want to join us.

The Eight Festivals
Would you like to host a personal celebration of one of the eight festivals of the year?
Depending on your tradition, each festival may have several names it is know by. For example, March 21st marks the vernal equinox. Wiccans call this the festival of Ostara; Druids call it Alban Eilir, and the Christian derived the name Easter from the Ostara.

Regardless of your path, you and I can work together to create a custom made ritual that meets your needs, traditions, and beliefs. Then you invite as many guests and participants as you want to join us.

Druids, and Witches, and Pagans! Oh Myyyyy!
It is no secret that I am a pagan and identify as a Druid. I am a practicing member of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, and I am heavily involved in several pagan groups that meet regularly to participate in ritual and discussion on pagan topics.

All of my services are offered from a pagan perspective if you so wish it. Pagan ceremonies could include:
A Circle of Power.
Calling the Quarters.
Inviting and making offerings to your choice of deity.
Including the elements in the ceremony.
Acknowledging the ancestors, and spirits.
And much more.
Changing your ceremony to have a pagan flavour can be done at no additional charge.

What's a Handfasting
​Handfasting is an ancient Celtic ritual in which the hands are tied together to symbolize the binding of two lives. While it is most often included in Wiccan or Pagan ceremonies, it has become more mainstream and pops up in both religious and secular vows and readings. Rings are often still exchanged but the binding of the hands is symbolic of the binding of their hearts as one. All of my packages can be changed to include a handfasting at no extra charge.

We've been adding a path to our front walk and have decided to use "tiles" like this one instead of bricks. This one makes me think of a smiling cyclops. Lol.
