Book Description

This book has been created specifically for Pagan Clergy. It is in no way a beginner book. The rituals and ceremonies within these pages are intended to be used by trained and experienced, initiated Pagan Clergy only. Being Pagan Clergy is a life changing experience. To be responsible for the spiritual growth and development of the individuals within and without the sacred circle is a large and sometimes complicated responsibility. There are three main parts to being Pagan Clergy. Teaching others the knowledge they need to fully explore their own paths is only a third of the responsibility of Pagan Clergy. The spiritual counseling of others through the mundane problems of their lives that hinder their spiritual evolvement is another third of the responsibility. Although this is the main part of being Pagan Clergy, it is not all there is to the position. The "third" that will be addressed in this book is the leading of sacred rituals and ceremonies through the celebrations and sorrows life brings. There are many different types of rituals and ceremonies that Pagan Clergy would have a need to perform. From birth rites to death rites, Pagan Clergy needs to be available to handle any situation that the Lord and Lady bring to them at any time, often without much notice. Not all, but some Pagan Clergy are either not handy with the creation of these types of rituals, or there isn't time in their busy schedule to create them. There are not too many books on the market at this time, that simply address all of these needs for rituals and ceremonies. For that very reason, this book was created. The rituals and ceremonies in this book have been used with ease and success, when needed. These rituals and ceremonies are basic, and can be easily adapted to make them more specific in the event that the need arises. Most of these rituals and ceremonies are written for use with a coven, but it is not mandatory to have a coven, as all the rituals and ceremonies can be easily adapted. I hope you enjoy the collection of Pagan Clergy rituals and ceremonies put together in this book. May the Lord and Lady always shine their wisdom upon you! May our Pagan traditions continue to live through our children!
