Ritual Services

Whether it's welcoming a little one to this plane of existence, bonding two friends and lovers in a marriage rite, or saying good luck on the next leg of your journey while opening the western gate, our rites of passage are an important part of our journeys. Melissa has been performing these rites for over 25 years.  Your custom rite starts with a calendar check and then a consultation.  At the consultation you'll discuss your needs and wants, budget, and timeline. You and Melissa will also figure out if it's a match, spiritually. After that she'll craft a ceremony based on your needs.  Prior to your event you'll review the plan for changes/additions according to your unique needs and family traditions. You can choose to purchase any ritual tools yourself or ask Melissa to put together a package for you.

Some of the rites she can perform are:

  • Naming Day
  • Coming of Age
  • Handfasting (licensed to perform weddings)
  • Croning Ceremony
  • Opening the Western Gate (memorial services)
  • Seasonal Rites


Melissa is authorized to officiate weddings (civil unions, handfastings, etc.) in the state of Wisconsin.
