Although
we are familiar with the Wedding, Naming or Funeral Ceremony, there
are many others that allow us to mark events or to make sense of
occurrences in our lives. Some are public and some are private ceremonies.
There are ceremonies of divorce, renewal, coming-of-age, commitment,
adolescence and croning, plus many more. The range of books presented
opens the door for your exploration of meaningful ceremony and ritual
in many areas of your life.
There are also texts which explore spiritual
development, in a ceremonial context.
