RaynSearl: __________IC___________
RaynSearl: I am Lady Rayn of Al Tariq, Nura and Sukura, have chosen Me to perform the Free Ceremony between them. I am asked to welcome all of you and to Thank You for Traveling the distances to stand witness as Nura and Sukura exchange vows before you. I am honored to stand before both of them today and join in their celebration.
RaynSearl: Temos**
RaynSearl: As a scribe we have a lot of knowledge to base our lives but there is little written on formal ceremonies of Companionship. Therefore all of our work is written and documented as each of us perceive the companionship and what it's meaning will be. This is my written rendition and is not for use but for those I perform ceremonies for here on Gor. [ On behalf of the couple before me I ask that if you take pictures to please share the links with them ... nerves usually get the best of us playing and we tend to forget til it is too late.]
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearlRaynSearl : .
RaynSearl: The Brides Price has been met. And the dowry been given to the Man seeking her companionship.... so it has been agreed upon and the obligations fulfilled. I have completed the documents and I have prepared them for you they will be signed at the end of both ceremonies.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: At this time I will ask for 2 witness to sign the Documents and Agree to the ceremony being performed today.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: May I have the 2 witness agree and speak their names as witness.
RaynSearl: .
LotusOrnKaldra: Navnika rose to her feet smoothly, "I, Tatrix of Argentum, am willing to witness." she offered as she stood gracefully.
RaynSearl: ~she nods listening to the Tatrix speak and waits another~
RaynSearl: .
MasterEagleRose: I , Master Ealgle willing to witness
RaynSearl: ~she nods to the free man before her and continues~
MasterEagleRose: Eagle**

LotusOrnKaldra: [ssry bout that, my mouse had a spasm attack.. glitches.. hmf]]
RaynSearl: Before I start answer me if you have both entered into this companionship willingly of your own free will?
RaynSearl: .
SukuraRaiCallidora: yes i have willingly given all i am to this Man
SukuraRaiCallidora whispers: may i invite ruby
RaynSearl > SukuraRaiCallidora: yes I just tried
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: ~chuckles she awaits the Admin reply ~
Nuramoc: i willing enter this companionship offering her my life and love for eternity
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: I will ask you both now to show me your palms of the hands you have joined now
Nuramoc: turning palm up
SukuraRaiCallidora: ~ turns her palm over for the Lady could see~
RaynSearl: ~she then looks upon each of them and each for their left hands now with their palms upward....she reaches to the familiar place on the belt of her Robes and removes her dagger from its sheath taking a sterile rep cloth and wipes it clean she moves to Nura and places the palm on her left hand under his resting it there ...taking the point of her dagger she cuts a small incision in the center of his palm...watching to see the thin cut and the trickle of blood begin to pool~
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: ~she moves to Sukura and places the palm on her left hand under hers resting it there ...taking the point of her dagger she repeats the step cutting a small incision in the center of her palm...watching to see the thin cut and the trickle of blood begin to pool in her as it did in his...she returns the dagger to its sheath and takes a fine woven cord from belt of her robes~
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: ~ she joins both of the palms of their hands and begins to entwine one to the other wrapping from the his wrist over the palms now joined and to her wrist as she does she speaks~
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: from the shedding of blood to the binds of contracts you have now entered into the binding oath of companionship...a commitment that will last one year on the Gorean calendar [Online time that is 3 months from today's Date ] as the pooling of each of your blood blends with the other ... so does your life and commitment to one another. for the remainder of this ceremony you will walk and participate as one. I do this to show you it is a joint and mutual effort to take the journey and paths always thinking of the other.

RaynSearl: It is often said that it is love that makes the world go round. However, without doubt, it is friendship which keeps our spinning existence on an even keel. True friendship provides so many of the essentials for a happy life -- it is the foundation on which to build an enduring relationship, it is the mortar which bonds us together in harmony, and it is the calm, warm protection we sometimes need when the world outside seems cold and chaotic. True friendship holds a mirror to our foibles and failings, without destroying our sense of worthiness. True friendship nurtures our hopes, supports us in our disappointments, and encourages us to grow to our best potential. Nura and Sukura came together as friends. Today, they pledge to each other not only their love, but also the strength, warmth and, most importantly, the fun of true friendship.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: I Nura, take, Lady Sukura, to be my Companion, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know what we will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish her through whatever life may bring...............
RaynSearl: .
Nuramoc: I Nura, take, Lady Sukura, to be my Companion, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know.

RaynSearl: The Free Woman is trained from childhood to be the Companion. Though she does the following before the companionship in camp or her own home, she does it now to bring honor to his name and home and their Companionship. Her actions now, represent them both. The Free Woman is the heart of the household. She is the hostess, everything she does reflects upon him. All who enter His house are greeted and made comfortable. The food and drink are overseen by her, and it must always be the best her Companion can afford; She spends his monies wisely. She takes care of the things in the home, she tells the slaves what their chores are, she makes sure the foods are prepared properly and that his home is perfect for Him.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: She dines beside him in the company of his friends and business associates, so must therefore be articulate. She bears His children, so she must be nurturing. She keeps his books, so she must therefore be literate. She is the gentle comfort at his side. She must accept the fact that he is The Gorean Master as well as her Companion, and therefore is understanding to the needs of his kajira as well. She is as much under the discipline of Her Companion as a kajira is of her Master. She may often feel the whip and at times when she has displeased him, she will find herself chained at the foot of their bed to spend a cold night on the tiles.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: She wears the robes of concealment and face veils, or the leathers and nose ring of the Wagon Peoples. Her jewelry is not garish, her perfumes are subtle and she kneels in the manner of a feminine woman. A Free Companion is held in esteem only as long as she maintains her dignity, the same as it was before the contracting. She represents Him, and in doing so, her speech and her actions must always reflect his status. She owns nothing but what he gives her unless it is stated differently in the contract. She does not take slaves unless it is in the contract. He may, on the other hand, take slaves anytime he wishes. The Free Woman knows this and accepts it. He is the Master. yet during this period of companionship, neither party may willingly engage in sexual activity with another Free Person who is not their sworn Free Companion.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: Though, You are still a woman, and this is Gor. You are the Woman behind the Man. You are a rather large part of his life; You are His Lover, His best friend, His heart. Yet, You should not expect to hear this often, or ever, for although a Gorean Man knows easily how to express his anger and frustration, when it comes to feelings and matters of His heart, He can be a bumbling idiot and dense at times, and may simply avoid admitting of a soft heart. Therefore he is hard, cold and sometimes harsh, but that is the Man in him that You cannot resist.
RaynSearl: .
LotusOrnKaldra: Navnika grins, trying not to chuckle, hearing a bit of her Free Companion Jarl described there. But she smiles broadly, knowing it to be true.
RaynSearl: Lady Sukura, Now is the time to understand the vows spoken here and to remember them always. You have a place in his home but he is still ruler. The last is up to you. Do you willingly enter this contract of Companionship? To honor him as your Companion and As the Master in your home. To hold him above all and Never place him second.It is now in the hands of your own consen
MasterEagleRose: smiles as I hear and smiles to Saveda as she is deeply listening to every thing said and woved
RaynSearl: consent*
SukuraRaiCallidora: yes i do
RaynSearl: ~with hands still bound she places hers upon theirs and has them follow to the table ..
RaynSearl: [ there is only 2 spots near the wine ]
RaynSearl: [ nods]
RaynSearl: ~as she stands before them she pours the shimmering pink liquid into 2 goblets and hands one to each sure their arms are interlocked with each other ...she recites from the memorized scroll of the importance of the wine ~
RaynSearl: Ka-la-na, the wine made of the fruit of trees by the same name and said to be the symbol of romantic love, is shared by the couple and indeed, the free companionship ritual is often referred to as 'the sharing of the wine of companionship'. In the few cases where the reader witnesses such rituals, the drinking of ka-la-na is always present.
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: It is the words the we speak to one another that we hold dear. As you take your serve I would like for you both to speak your own Oath of Companionship. Sir if you would please start and Lady Sukura you follow please.

RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: ~smiles~
RaynSearl: The fountains mingle with the river, And the rivers with the ocean; The winds of heaven mix forever, With a sweet emotion; Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine In one another's being mingle:- Why not I with thine? See! the mountains kiss high heaven, And the waves clasp one another; Now sister flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother; And the sunlight clasps the earth, And the moonsbeams kiss the sea:- What are all these kissings worth, If thou kiss not me?
RaynSearl: .
RaynSearl: You may now take your pleasures in your first kiss as companions. But do not let the cord break ~she chuckles reminding them they are still bound~
