Above green meadows, the Elbe tributary Rossel washes around the moated castle of Dessau-Ro\u00dflau. The historic walls form a beautiful backdrop for Nadine and Michael&#8217;s pagan wedding.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The two have been married in a civil ceremony since 2024. Today, they would like to seal their union according to ancient tradition. The bride and groom joyfully welcome their friends and family to the castle courtyard. <\/p>\n<p>The marriage ceremony begins in the afternoon. The gods of all four cardinal points approve the marriage of Nadine and Michael. And so the two swear eternal love and everlasting fidelity to each other in the bridal temple. At the subsequent handfasting, the bride and groom are symbolically and actually joined together with their self-made wedding band. From then on, they walk their path through life in intimate union, and the cuckoo agrees with his cheerful call.<\/p>\n<p>After the ceremony, our herb women Eva, Inga and Tini chat to the guests in the Wasserburg&#8217;s banqueting hall. The magic plants from the local countryside are met with great interest. Everyone wants to gain an insight into the mysteries of beauty and the preservation of vitality. The girls from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Evas-Kr%C3%A4uterwelt\/100062959974351\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eva&#8217;s world of herbs<\/a> also hand out various mysterious herbal essences.<\/p>\n<p>As the wedding party celebrates the bridal couple and the lord of the castle invites everybody to dinner, eheleite.com takes its leave.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Nadine, dear Michael: It was a wonderful day with you. It was a great pleasure for us to perform your wedding ceremony. We wish you all the best for your future together. May the ancient gods watch over you forever!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"rl-gallery-container rl-loading\" id=\"rl-gallery-container-2\" data-gallery_id=\"25754\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery
