In some pagan cultures, handfasting is a traditional ceremony that symbolizes the commitment and union between two people. It is often seen as a precursor to marriage or a way to solidify a romantic partnership. During a handfasting ceremony, various elements are incorporated, including the use of different colors to represent different meanings. Colors play an important role in the symbolism of a handfasting ceremony. They are chosen based on their significance and the energy they are believed to bring to the union. Each color represents a different aspect, emotion, or quality that the couple wishes to bring into their relationship.
