Sacred Solstice Ceremony Altar
© June 2007 Judith Hirst-Joyeux
Before one can perform a ceremony, one must have a place (site) to complete the ceremony. The following items should be considered in choosing a ceremony site.
1. Is the ceremony indoor or outdoor?
2. How many people will be participating?
3. What size of a circle or area do you require to hold this number?
4. Are there special requirements for entrances and exits?
5. Do you need fire and if so, do you need a fire permit?
6. Do you need candles?
7. Do you need special material to make a circle?
8. If so, does the facility allow these materials?
9. Does the ceremony need to be on sacred ground?
10. Do you need to be in a “power” place such as a vortex?
11. Do you need to have ley lines available?
12. Do you need certain trees or certain natural energies to enhance the circle?
13. Are there time restrictions around the site where ceremony may be performed?
14. Are there any issues with neighbours?
15. Are there issues with noise bylaws that one needs to be aware of?
16. Do you need programmed music and if so, is electricity available?
17. Do you need bio facilities for washrooms and for drinking water/food?
18. Do you need maps to the site?
19. Is transportation to the site potentially difficult for the participants? (Example – a site on a large ledge part way up a mountain.)
20. Is the site handicap accessible, if that is a requirement?
21. How long to reach medical facilities in case of an accident or medical issue?
22. Do you need to go and look at different sites? If so, one must allow sufficient time to view the sites and then to book them.
By completing these steps, one will be confident that they have chosen the correct site to use to perform ceremony for the group that will participate (follows the axiom – know your audience) and to achieve maximum benefit from the ceremony.
