As you may guess, I actually did a fair amount of reading on wiccan (and other) marriage celebrations. I think I mostly found info on the internet, although back in 1997 there was so little. World before Wiki, how strange!
I think old traditions like handfasting and jumping the broom are pretty fascinating. If I ever get married, i think it would be a nice addition.
I just read Nora Robert’s “Three Sisters Island” trilogy. They said “So Mote It Be” a lot. I guess is be common magic talk.
I’ve had some awkward moments like this, where words have pushed people away when I haven’t even known what words they were, and when I later have seen them, I’m terrified to say similar words.
I don’t mind greyhound, but as long as they were on it (at least a few days) it can become pretty grueling.
