Pagan wedding Ritualby *Estruda

Photography / Other

The handfasting ritual. Original documents of a real pagan handfasting/wedding, this is actually my own pagan handfasting..)0(..

Critique by ~Claddaugh Dec 13, 2012, 4:05:32 PM

My first impression was, "Wow". Most of the time, if you type in 'pagan', one gets pentacles and scenes of nature. No complaints there, but the Handbinding ritual was completely unexpected.

The iconography is beautiful. the way it just, pops, it really looks good.

A few pointers: the focal point is in the center, and this is a little cliche. But, I do realize, in order to do this, it would render the text unreadable.

Otherwise, it is a beautiful work, with the metallic tones harmonizing with the metallic tones of the dagger. I thoroughly enjoy this piece, and I look forward to others.

What do you think?

i have to say this is pretty sweet. ^^
My partner possibly wants a pagan wedding... I actually became Pagan of my own accord after meeting him, well i'n a neo pagan of sorts.... anyway,

It is nice to get an idea of the sort of things that would happen
