Blessed Meet Everyone! I wish you all a wonderful Imbolc with much enjoyment of the Magick of the holiday!
I was wondering if anyone knows of someone in Michigan (Detroit area, but willing to travel) who would be able to perform a handfasting ritual between myself and my lover (I always call him my other husband, though). I am in what I've read is considered a poly "V" where one of my guys has the Marriage Certificate (license) and the other does not. We have an understanding that this is a lifelong commitment, but I would really like to have a ceremony to symbolize that commitment. We all all live together, share finances, chores, etc. My husband, Bill, does date from time to time (so I wouldn't consider us a closed polyfi triangle), but Carl chooses not to see anyone else but me, and for my sanity I think two husbands is enough! ;-) Any ideas on how we can go about this would be much appreciated. Oh, and even if it's not some big-to-do, that's fine with us. Even something private, but official to our spiritual belief system would be wonderful.
Oh by the way, we consider ourselves Eclectic Pagans, so we are open to any beautiful and meaningful ideas from the various branches of Paganism. Thank you so much!

Re: Handfasting in Michigan?
Wed, August 8, 2007 - 2:29 PMi know its been quite a while since you originaly posted this message but i am an eclectic pagan minister located in madison wisconsin. I have been an ordained minister through the ULC church since 1990 and becaame ordained just so i can conduct legal marrages and handfastings such as your asking for. I would be honored to conduct a ceramonial binding between the 2 or all 3 of you if thats your wish and your still looking. we would write the ceramony custom tailered to your particuler facet of eclectic paganism and the poly situation your in. if your interested please message me in yahoo as myrddinstarhawk or MrCrystalhawk or e-mail me at myrddinstarhawk@yahoo.com or roys_hawaii@yahoo.com. we could easily hold the ceramony close to madison wisconsin where i live or make arangements for me to visit you where your at. are you allso members of the SCA? if so we could allso hold it at some SCA event we are both attending. the ritual is a religios and personal contract bonding you with your partners but would have no legal bindings unless you have children together and you want him as a legal gardian to your kids should something happen to you and your legal husband. godfather status. I have conducted similer rituals in the past and its allways best to tailor it to your specific desires and needs.
call me at (608) 443-6746 Cell for the ULC church or my home number is (608) 824-0548. i am allso listed in witchvox.com as myrddinstarhawk in madison/middleton and marshfield wisconsin.
