ABOUT RUBY

Your Sacred Celebrant

Ruby, a trained Sacred Celebrant since 2017, has studied under Dawn Kinsella, the Priestess of Avalon and registrar for legal marriages in Glastonbury. With deep experience in spiritual ceremonies, Ruby offers a wide range of services, including handfasting ceremonies, rites of passage, vow renewals, baby naming ceremonies, memorial services, and crossing over ceremonies. Ruby’s shamanic training allows her to hold space in nature, guiding you through powerful rituals at sacred locations like Castle Rigg Stone Circle and Glastonbury Tor.

Ruby’s handfasting training with Dawn Kinsella draws on the wisdom of the four-element medicine wheel, connecting couples to earth, air, fire, and water in a deeply spiritual and transformative ceremony. Ruby’s experience in baby naming ceremonies brings a special touch to this joyous occasion, ensuring a celebration of your child’s life and the community they are joining.

OUR SACRED CEREMONY PROCESS

STEP ONE

Initial Consultation

We begin with a warm, no-obligation consultation to understand your vision. Whether in person, by phone, or video call, we’ll discuss:

The type of ceremony you’re looking for (wedding, vow renewal, handfasting, baby naming, memorial, crossing over, etc.)
Your values, beliefs, and any special rituals you’d like to incorporate
The ideal location for your ceremony, whether indoors, outdoors, or at a sacred site
Any additional elements like readings, music, or symbolic rituals

STEP TWO

Ceremony Personalization

Once we understand your needs, Ruby will begin crafting your bespoke ceremony. Drawing on her extensive training and spiritual expertise, she will select rituals, blessings, and readings that align with your beliefs and intentions.

For handfasting ceremonies, Ruby incorporates the teachings of Dawn Kinsella, weaving in the sacred four-element medicine wheel to connect you to earth, air, fire, and water during this deeply symbolic and transformative ritual.

For baby naming ceremonies, Ruby helps you celebrate the arrival of your child with love and intention. These ceremonies can be simple or elaborate, incorporating blessings, ancestral connections, and community participation. It’s a chance for the family and friends to gather in support and unity, welcoming the child with joy and offering blessings for their future.

For crossing over ceremonies, Ruby offers compassionate and spiritual guidance to honor the life of the deceased and guide their spirit peacefully on their journey. These ceremonies can be highly personalized, incorporating rituals that provide comfort and closure for loved ones and help the deceased move forward in peace.

STEP THREE

Finalizing Details

Once the ceremony draft is complete, we’ll meet again to review and refine every detail. This is where we’ll:

Finalize the ceremony structure, timing, and logistics
Select any additional elements like music, readings, or special rituals
Address practical considerations such as attire, location permits (for outdoor ceremonies), and coordination with other vendors if needed
Conduct a final run-through to ensure you feel comfortable and confident with the ceremony flow

STEP FOUR

Ceremony Day

On the day of your ceremony, Ruby will be there to guide you through every moment with grace, love, and reverence. Whether your ceremony is in a tranquil woodland glade, a sacred stone circle, or at a sacred site like Glastonbury Tor, Ruby will ensure your ceremony is conducted with respect and intention.

For weddings and vow renewals, Ruby will guide you through each step, helping you exchange vows, perform meaningful rituals like handfasting or lighting candles, and celebrate your love in a deeply spiritual way. For baby naming ceremonies, Ruby will lead a beautiful ritual to honor your child’s name and the community’s role in their life. Rituals like a “name blessing,” the lighting of candles, or giving meaningful gifts can all be included, making the day truly special. For memorials and crossing over ceremonies, Ruby provides a soothing and compassionate presence, offering gentle guidance to help you honor your loved one and offer them peace as they transition.

For those seeking a crossing over ceremony, Ruby will help you celebrate the life of the deceased while offering a meaningful way to help their spirit move on with peace and grace. These ceremonies can take place in a special location or within your home, often including prayers, blessings, and a symbolic letting go. Ruby works closely with you to create an atmosphere of peace, closure, and honor for the soul’s transition.

STEP FIVE

Aftercare and Support

After your ceremony, Ruby remains available for any additional support or guidance you may need. Whether you’d like a keepsake of the ceremony or simply need time to reflect on the experience, Ruby is here to support you in any way that feels right.

For baby naming ceremonies, Ruby provides follow-up support as you begin your new journey as parents, offering any additional advice or guidance you may need. For crossing over ceremonies, Ruby offers ongoing support to help you navigate the grieving process, ensuring the healing journey continues with love and compassion.

SACRED LOCATIONS FOR CEREMONIES

A unique aspect of Ruby’s services is her connection to sacred outdoor locations. Thanks to her shamanic training and deep respect for nature, Ruby offers ceremonies in extraordinary places that align with the energy of the event. Whether you choose to hold your ceremony in a peaceful glade or at ancient sacred sites like Castle Rigg Stone Circle and Glastonbury Tor, Ruby can assist in arranging the perfect setting for your special occasion.

If you wish to honor a loved one with a crossing over ceremony at a sacred site or within a meaningful location, Ruby can help select a place that resonates with the spirit of the ceremony and provides peace and closure for those involved. Likewise, for baby naming ceremonies, Ruby can guide you in choosing a location that holds personal meaning or connects with the natural world.
