As a practicing witch Gwen lived in harmony with nature and was determined to make it part of her wedding ceremony. Even though she'd been coerced into this marriage she was going to celebrate life and share pleasure with others whether it be with her husband, friends or with the magical community.
Gwen had one idea in mind for her wedding and that was the words the Goddess says, 'Let my worship be in the heart that rejoices: sing, feast, dance, make music and love, all in my presence, for all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals and my gift of joy on earth.'
Gwen had used all aspects of the Goddess' words by arranging song, dance and music at the wedding. Afterwards there would be a feast where there would not only be nobles but commoners and more importantly people who practiced magic.
Even though she'd been surprised that Arthur had wanted to wed so soon she also felt blessed as their wedding was going to take place on February 2nd which was the day of Imbolc- the festival of returning light. It was the time dedicated to Brigit, the Irish goddess of healing, inspiration and smithcraft. Gwen felt this was appropriate as through her marriage she would be healing the hurt that existed between Camelot and practitioners of magic.
Gwen was taking this opportunity to rededicate herself to magic but also in becoming an instrumental person to Camelot—its Queen.
That was the first part of her plan and for the next part she would use her magic to help the act of love and pleasure. Her first spell was for marital bliss she had to ensure that this marriage was going to work. She obtained a crystal bowl filled with rosewater and placed seven drops of rose oil on it. This would keep their marriage sweet. This was placed in their bedroom. She would have to keep the water fresh to ensure the union was blissful.
Gwen's second spell was to bless their bed. She used a mixture of cinnamon, rose oil and lovage leaves to boil and then dry. She then mixed it into a powder and sprinkled in on their bed. She made sure that she saved some of the mixture for her bath the night before their wedding.
She was now satisfied that everything was ready and faced her future as being the Queen of Camelot.
