Baby Naming Ritual

hi guys

My last posting I chatted to you about having a Time Capsule at your baby's naming celebration.Today I would like to tell you about another ritual that can be included in the ceremony......

BAG FULL of WISHES FOR THE CHILD

This bag is filled with wonderful hopes, dreams & happiness. This bag is filled with laughter & love. This bag is filled with all the things that make Wishes come true.

The Coin……………… represents Wealth
The Feather……… represents Good Luck
The Flower………… represents Growth, Health & Beauty
The Balloon……… represents Honesty
The Dolphin……… represents Love of the Water
The Heart…………… represents Unconditional Love
The Candle………… represents Happiness
The Adventurine………… represents Compassion, Prosperity,Healing, Harmony, Creativity &
intelligence
The Rose Quartz……… represents Self Love, Self Trust

Some of the items needed can be bought from the Tree of Life store and the little organza bag needed to keep the items in can be purchased from Spot Light or the $2 shop.

Each item is represented by the meanings set out above and it is a nice touch to ask different people to step forward to place a particular item in the organza bag, maybe the godparents ,grandparents or great grandparents. Then the bag is kept safe for the child until they grow older and can understand what each item represents.

This is a lovely and very special part of the ceremony.

Next time I will tell you about another ritual that can also be included in a naming ceremony.

take care
warm regards
