    Our officiate reading

    In times past it was believed that the human soul shared characteristics with all things divine. It is this belief which assigned virtues to the cardinal directions; East, South, West and North. It is in this tradition that a blessing is offered in support of this ceremony.

     

    Blessed be this union with the gifts of the East.

    Communication of the heart, mind, and body

    Fresh beginnings with the rising of each Sun.

    The knowledge of the growth found in the sharing of silences.

     

    Blessed be this union with the gifts of the South.

    Warmth of hearth and home

    The heat of the heart's passion

    The light created by both to illuminate the darkest of times.

     

    Blessed be this union with the gifts of the West.

    The deep commitments of the lake The swift excitement of the river

    The refreshing cleansing of the rain

    The all encompassing passion of the sea.

     

    Blessed be this union with the gifts of the North

    Firm foundation on which to build

    Fertility of the fields to enrich your lives

    A stable home to which you may always return.

     

    Each of these blessings emphasizes those things which will help you build a happy and successful union.

    Yet they are only tools. Tools which you must use together in order to create what you seek in this union.
