Elemental Celebrant
A Ritual Ceremony Using The 4 Elements
Holding space for ritual ceremony in Bedford and the surrounding counties, working intrinsically with you, I can create a meaningful ritual ceremony to mark important events along life’s colourful journey – baby naming, name changing, handfastings – weddings, vow renewals, commitment ceremonies / letting go / rebirthing, eldering / croning / saging, passing over ceremonies (before a funeral and memorials), interment / scattering of ashes ceremony.
House and land blessings, new beginnings, divorce (unbindings), Mother blessings and any other personal transitional rite of passage you can think of… using the 4 elements that make up nature all around us, the world and our bodies, air, fire, water and earth, with the celebrant at the centre holding the 5th element we work together to create something really magical and special, unique to only you.
Ceremonies Bespoke To You
Ceremony and ritual provide a way to connect, not only to others but to gain a better insight to our psyche, as well as offering deep healing and a safe, sacred space to just “be”. You do not need to be a Pagan or affiliated with any other religion to have an elemental ceremony. The only limit is your imagination!
I pride myself on being able to offer unscripted and therefore totally unique and personalised ceremonies and rituals. My training focused on inclusivity and we worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community, naming ceremonies in particular being really important here.
I work with adults and children at all stages of life and beyond! I bring in all my experience as a holistic therapist, trainer, mentor, healer, hedgerow herbalist, soul midwife and practitioner of green witchcraft and folk magic to create beautiful, healing ceremonies and rituals that honour you and your loved ones, the land and the seasons and cycles – if there is something you wish to create and don’t see it listed here, please message me. I will spend a lot of time in consultation with you to ensure every detail for your ceremony is as perfect as we can make it for you.
Because these ceremonies are so varied, it's too much to fit on here! For more detailed information on each ceremony, prices and an extensive gallery you can click here to check them out on my AuroraStar training website.
Testimonials
" Sam, I cannot begin to tell you how perfect everything was! It’s all a bit of a blur, I can’t wait to watch it all back. The ceremony was even better than we expected. Our favourite parts were the blessed water and the incense ceremony as it calmed and grounded me. I also think it’s a really lovely touch to have the box with all of the bits in after the ceremony, everything feels so personal. The guests loved it, they said that it felt really personal and about us and really focused on our love. I don’t think you could possibly improve, you and Simone were amazing❤️ xxxxx"

"When all our wedding plans changed because of Covid, we decided to have a quick and quiet formal marriage, followed by a full handfasting ceremony in front of our families and friends. What an excellent decision! Our day couldn’t have been more perfect. On a beautiful June Saturday in the gardens at Friars Court, Sam performed a traditional handfasting ceremony. All the elements of pagan ritual were included, plus some that are specific to her Glastonbury Goddess Celebrant training. We met with Sam in advance to discuss some of the details, and she asked us to write how we had met, what love meant to us and our vows. These were all included in the ceremony, which made it really personal. Solemnity and sacredness were in abundance, lightened at times with laughter and fun. We felt very special. Our guests loved it too, some even commenting it was the best wedding they’d ever been to! Sam was relaxed, professional and friendly, holding the space with confidence. For us it was the perfect way to get married and we would highly recommend Sam if you want something individually tailored and a little bit different."

You can totally trust that you will have a bespoke ceremony created especially for you.
