The Water Vow - A Water Spell to Join Hands in Marriage or to Strengthen Vows

Water has long been known as the 'element of love', and has been used over the ages as a ritual union between lovers, and also as an affirmation of earlier vows, used as a ritual of love, a method of strengthening a bond.

This age-old rite, known as the Water Vow, is simple and effective.

Shall we begin?

You will need:
A narrow stream
Your partner
Prepared vows {optional}

**As I have mentioned before in my water spell to increase psychic awareness... I try to practice all of my magic barefoot, if not sky-clad, as I feel it increases my atonement with the elements. But if weather does not allow, or if you are just not comfortable doing so, no worries.**

The persons involved should start by attuning themselves with the element of water, by any methods that work for those participating.

You can dip your toes in the running stream, collect rocks from the stream and line them along its path, or simply sit comfortably beside the stream and meditate. Close your eyes... hear the running water, and feel the peaceful energy of the setting wash over your being.

When you are ready...... 

Stand on one side of the stream, and your loved one stands on the other side. Join your hands (one or both) over the water, and say this together (or something similar you both have come up with):

Flowing water, Do witness this act. Our hands, they are bound, We make this Pact.

Come together, touching bodies, either in the center of the stream, or to one side of the stream, never breaking the clasp of your hands.

Look into each other's eyes....

(if you have prepared vows, now is the time to say them to one another)

Now say:

And so it is done. So mote it be.

And continue on the celebration however you see fit. If both are comfortable with the idea, and if the area allows for such an intimate encounter, make love by the stream.. even if it means just carressing, admiring and appreciating each other fully. 

Body. Mind. Soul.
