Description:

Personalized Handfasting Certificate with names and date of your special event. You will need to notify me of what you wish for me to include at time of payment.

Handfasting is an ancient ceremony to honor a couple’s desire for commitment to each other and to acknowledge their fates are now bound together. To honor this binding love, I have created a beautiful Handfasting Certificate that celebrates this union with a Celtic/Wiccan theme.

The verses read as follows:
********************************************
Love one another but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shore of your souls.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together.
For the pillars of the temple stand apart.
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

Welcome to the enchanting and whimsical world of Steelgoddess!

I am a full time illustrator with my feet firmly planted in an imaginary world where Witches (the good ones) and flying cats on brooms happily exist together in a lovely town called “Witchwood.” There are a huge variety of residents in all shapes and species from the ordinary to the extraordinary who are far from shy and wish to be known that they do indeed exist! (pssst…they tell me that they would greatly appreciate it if you passed this knowledge along.)

I am delighted to share my quirky imagination with you and hope you enjoy the many things that I have available.

If you would like to join my mailing list of new releases, please feel free to contact me. I have many auctions and listings up for grabs in my Ebay store and normally list new items of my artwork once a week.
