Francis Edward Hall

To become a celebrant of life's many passages.

I was born in Baltimore, MD in 1957. My childhood took me to many US states. After high school in Maryland and college in Pennsylvania, I resided for many years in New England. In 1995, I moved to Colorado, where I have lived ever since. This is now my home.

To weave my love of Nature and Life experience into Rites of Passage.

I was raised as a "suburban" Christian and very much embrace the social teachings of Jesus Christ. In my teenage years, I followed the Baha'i faith and embraced its ideals of World Peace. Both of these ran at odds with my vivid and separately confirmed memories of having lived before as a human on the Earth. I drifted toward paganism and Druidry, as these both embraced reincarnation and affirmed the sacredness of Nature.

I respect Jesus Christ as a Divine being who took human form to advance his people to a better level of existence. I respect Bahaullah as a Divine being whose mission was (like Jesus) move Islam to its next stage. Both of these manifestations of God were treated quite badly by the religious powers of their day.

Today, I am primarily a modern Druid, who both respects all revealed religions, and presents an augmentation that embraces Nature as a divine force to be revered, for our own survival. Druidry was the indigenous spiritualty of Europe, Ireland, and the British Isles. We of European ancestry can embrace a Nature Spirituality without any guilt of "cultural appropriation".

Foremost, I want to listen to the couple's intentions and affirm them. If my age and experience are beneficial, I may gently present expansive ideas to weave into a ceremony.
