The Pagan Federation (Scotland)
Celebrancy Service
When planning a ceremony to mark any major life
event, be it the happiness of marriage, the blessing of a new child or the
sad loss of a loved one, it can sometimes be difficult to find just the type
of ceremony, and the celebrant you need, particularly if your spiritual path
is not one of the main religions of these Isles.
The Pagan Federation (Scotland)
can help here. We hold a register of Celebrants who are experienced in writing
and conducting many kinds of ceremonies, including Handfasting, Legal Marriage,
Funeral, and Naming ceremonies. All our celebrants are happy to write and
conduct Pagan ceremonies that closely reflect the beliefs of those involved.
Most are trained in one or more of the main Pagan traditions, such as Druidry,
Wicca and other forms of Witchcraft, Heathenry, and Shamanism, and most are
also happy to work with more general, or eclectic, Pagan thought and symbolism,
and where appropriate to conduct Interfaith ceremonies.
If you do not hold any specific religious beliefs,
but you would still like a spiritual ceremony, we can discuss your requirements
and, with your help, write a ceremony which celebrates the event in the way
you feel most appropriate. We can also discuss your requirements for ceremonies
other than those mentioned above. Although we do not, as an organisation,
provide celebrants for religious initiation and training, we or one of our
celebrants may be able to refer you on to someone appropriate if this is what
you are looking for.
If you would like to speak to our Celebrants
Register Co-ordinator about your forthcoming ceremony, please contact her
directly on medionemeton@blueyonder.co.uk
to discuss your requirements. While we will endeavour to provide a Celebrant
for your ceremony who best suits your needs and location, as our numbers are
limited at present we cannot guarantee to provide someone. As all our celebrants
are volunteers, they will expect their reasonable expenses to be paid.
