Ceremonies and Rituals

The difference between ritual and ceremony is that a ritual is done on a regular basis and a ceremony is a special one time occasion.

No ritual, ceremony, or idea on this page is required behavior.  People enjoy ritual and ceremony, and these are nothing but suggestions or things others have done.  The ideas presented here are to give YOU ideas on things you may want to do in your life.  Designing a ceremony that means something to you is the whole point of this page.  A very good link on designing a ritual is here.

(Right now a few of the buttons will not work as there is no content on those sections.   No sense in going to a page with no content.   Several people have agreed to contribute articles and information.  Please keep returning as these will be added as they are received.  If you have ideas, information, or content you'd like to contribute, I want to hear from you.  All contributors will be credited with authorship of their content and links to their email (if they want that) and/or their personal website, and so...send me your ceremonies and rituals, please?  webmistress@frugaldomme.com)
