Pantheist Ceremony Ideas

Devon, on February 7, 2021 at 8:49 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 3
My fiancé and I consider ourselves pantheist, believing that everything is interwoven in a holy web and that the earth and cosmos are sacred. We have found the perfect officiant but aren’t sure how to plan the ceremony. We have a reading from Carl Sagan that will certainly be a part of it but I wonder - has anyone here had a pantheism-based ceremony? If so, please share details!


This is the reading that embodies our vibe:


The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home. And yet our species is young and curious and brave and shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries. They remind us that humans have evolved to wonder, that understanding is a joy, that knowledge is prerequisite to survival. Our little planet floats like a mote of dust in the morning sky. All that you see, all that we can see, exploded out of a star billions of years ago, and the particles slowly arranged themselves into living things, including all of us. We are made of star stuff. We are the mechanism by which the universe can comprehend itself. The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth. We should remain grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides. The sum of all our evolution, our thinking and our accomplishments is love. A marriage makes two fractional lives a whole. It gives to two questioning natures a renewed reason for living. It brings a new gladness to the sunshine, a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth, and a new mystery to life.

    That is a beautiful reading! Do a Google search for ceremony elements and see what speaks to you. Offbeatbride.com has many ceremony scripts that include these ideas.

    That's a wonderful reading Devon!! I'd work together with your officiant to come up with a ceremony that best represents both of you! Smiley heart

    I also think incorporating a unity ceremony that brings in your connection to nature would be really cool! Like handfasting, tree planting, or a sand ceremony:
