In 2006 I performed my first dedication, and now.... It's about time for an update.

I'll be out of town for a few days starting this Saturday. I'm going up to Nor Cal up near the beach to re-do my dedication. some place called "Walalalala" lmao. (sorry, it's an inside joke with some of my friends.) Spelled Gualala, spoken like Walala. lolz.)

hella crazy.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what exactly is a Dedication? And a Re-Dedication, for that matter? Is it like exchanging vows with your loved one? Or does it have something to do with the Craft?

bare with me, i have an ear load.

Usually after one year and a day (which is a full 13 moon cycle) of studying it, a person can choose to dedicate themselves to the world and the Craft. A Dedication is a ritual right usually on the same night of the day you were born. (Born on a Monday, you perform the ritual on another Monday of your birthday. which is about every several years.) My first dedication was done in 2007 on July, 6th... it was a Friday. That marked my constant study and practice of the entire Wiccan Year. Sadly, that day will always be remembered as a bad day, because as soon as I was done, my mother brought me some ill spirits. She, at the time, wasn't okay with this life choice I made.

So I've decided to re-do one this weekend.

And that wont happen this time either. Our time up north will be cut short. So the most I'll get is a partial clear head and a crap-load of meditation on the beach.

But, still. Anyone who has any questions for me or any comments about their dedication, please feel free.

Of course, I do know how a dedication is usually very sacred for some people, so for those of you who do feel that way, you are not obligated at all to take part in this thread.

Sorry. sweatdrop

i got a little more to say.

Dedication = Baptism (basically) Performed on the same Day as your birthday. (Born on Friday, Dedicated on the same day years later)

Re-Dedication = Performed every 13 moons or on your birthday after first dedication. (Exact Day or Date wont matter)

Final Dedication = Performed before you feel "your time has come" (die)

Love Dedication = Handfasting. Which means a spiritual bond between two or more lovers.

REMEMBER: THESE ARE NOT THE ONLY WAY TO GO ABOUT THINGS. PAGANISM IS A VAST RELIGION. WICCA IS A FREE-FLOWING LIFESTYLE. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT VIEWS ON THESE SUBJECTS. IT'S UP TO YOU TO COME UP WITH YOUR OWN IDEALS.
