Crowning
----------------

Today we are going to crown NAME  as a Queen.

NAME we acknowledge that you are such a woman. For you have enriched and bewitched our lives with your loving heart, (include personal qualitys and individual peculiar triats)

You offer only your unconditional friendship as well as practical help and sound advice. You are indeed a Queen and you bestow onto us the royal gifts of loyalty love and friendship.

Some of us have known you only for a short time, others much, much longer. But it is all the days and years of your life and your relationships with others that have shaped you into the person and the source of wisdom that we find you today, a princess became a Queen.

As your friends, NAME I will give the floor to each person who wishes to share their memorys about you and how and why you are so special to us and it is well if none wish to speak words for they also show in actions if none wish to raise their hands i shall continue.

(guests raises hands as i call out ones who wish to speak something in short about NAME))

Throught out life we pass through many stages. Each stage marks and brings about profound change in our lives, birth, rebirth, changing, leaving all of what you know, being what you fear. All and more bring signigicant change and identity to our lives. This crowning announces, and in many respects, creates the stage or state in your life.

At this passage in your life your focus will shift from the exterior world of conventions to the freedom of being the ruler of your own inner realms. Your challenge is to make known your understandings of life and lend your wisdom to enlighten others to lifes beauty and its ugliness. What they are what they have become  its light and shadow teaching them and guideing them. For the awakened woman holds the keys ruler of her own life.

(The crown is placed on head)

The circle of the crown is a symbol of the sun and of the earth and the universe. A circle for love that never ends, a circle for arms that embrace. A symbol of friendship, for friendship breaks down all boundaries and has by its very nature to be a circular flow of giving and receiving.

The circle is a symbol of unity into which your life is joined in an unbroken circle to those whom you choose to love and befriend, so wherever you go in life, your love will constantly be returning to them.

((~holds out her palm to NAME showing three glass stones them to her, then to the others.~))

These stones represent your life - past, present and future. (doesnt matter the bread we all have a past and future). One represents your past one the present and the other the future. It does not matter which is which for we are all interconnected all in process- from rock and shell to stone and sand. One grain of sand makes a whole beach. Time is both her story and potential happening in this one moment always in the now.

Love friendships and wisdom are formed through shared experiences and these experiences are refined by the purity of the fire of your feelings. These glass stones are sand refined by fire. Theu represent that love friendship and wisdom has substance as well as soul a present as well as a past.
