In late 2000, the sisters decided to try and perform this ritual with Grams as their Priestess because there was a solar eclipse; a time when both the Sun and the Moon are present. However, Cole informed The Triad about the wedding, and they in turn informed the Elders. The Elders then interrupted the ceremony by orbing Leo away. In early 2001, the ceremony was successfully performed by Penny Halliwell at the manor after the rest of the day was nearly ruined by an astral version of Prue.

  • Handfasting is a Pagan/Wiccan Wedding ritual, the term hand-fastening is literal. During the ceremony the hands of those being handfasted are bound using a cord. This is looped around the joned hands and then loosely tied. A Wiccan Hand-Fastening binds the couple together for a period of a year and a day and, at the end of this time they may choose to continue their marriage or go their own seperate way. If the latter option is taken then the binding cord used for the ceremony is untied, hence the term, cutting the knot. This article is a stub. You can help WikiPagan by [ expanding it].

If the latter option is taken then the binding cord used for the ceremony is untied, hence the term, cutting the knot. The ceremony itself is normally conducted by either a High Preiestess, a High Preiest or a Druid and can be performed anywhere that the couple find suitable. Due to the nature of Wiccan beliefs it is normally an outside event and timed to coincide with a full moon or a Sabbat. This article is a stub. You can help WikiPagan by [ expanding it].
