In Mi’kmaq tradition, a smudging with sacred medicines is a ritual that invites balance, harmony, and blessings. During this ceremony, an eagle flew overhead moments before the vows. An incredibly significant sign in Mi’kmaq culture, as eagles are seen as messengers to the Creator, bringing blessings and good fortune to the marriage. #ritual #mikmaq #novascotiaweddings #farmwedding #weddingceremony #weddingrituals #weddinginspo #aboriginals | The Hill Venue
