Turtle was color magic black. It is often said that black is not a color, but rather the absence of color. However, in the case of the turtle, black is not just a simple absence, but a presence of magic and mystique. The turtle, with its dark shell and deep, soulful eyes, carries an aura of mystery and power. Its black coloration symbolizes protection and strength, as it blends seamlessly with the darkness of the night. It is said that the turtle is able to harness the energy of the universe, channeling it through its ebony shell.
If you would like to weave beads or other objects into your handfasting, you might want to use a smaller diameter cord. Some people have used Celtic knots (an awesome example is shown above using ivory and silver cords), shells, flowers, and Chinese double happiness charms. Other materials you could introduce onto the mix are strips of hemp twine and other materials, depending on the theme of your wedding ceremony. These are particularly lovely in an outside, rustic wedding ceremony. In the image below we see blush organza mixed with hemp ribbon which I think is a beautiful mix for a rustic handfasting ceremony.
The term was presumably loaned into English from Old Norse handfesta to strike a bargain by joining hands ; there are also comparanda from the Ingvaeonic languages Old Frisian hondfestinge and Middle Low German hantvestinge. The couple may choose four to six colors or more if children are involved, that represent what they feel are the most important to them in their marriage.
It is said that the turtle is able to harness the energy of the universe, channeling it through its ebony shell. In many cultures, the turtle is seen as a symbol of longevity and wisdom. Its black color only adds to its enigmatic wisdom, as black is often associated with depth and introspection.

Handfasting is a beautiful element incorporated into a wedding ceremony. A Handfasting Ceremony has its roots in ancient Celtic tradition and dates as far back as 7000 B.C. In ancient Ireland, when two people chose to be married, they were brought together, symbolically bound to have a braided cord or coloured ribbon tied around their hands by the celebrant in marriage. The term “Tying the Knot” comes from the tradition of Handfasting.
In many cases colours of these ribbons or cords in traditional Celtic Handfasting have a special meaning and by incorporating these colours that bind the couple's wrists into a Handfasting cord, they are invoking these very special meanings.
The Handfasting cords themselves can either be several colors twisted into one cord and then used for a single cord ceremony or each color can be draped individually as in the multi cord Handfasting. The couple may choose four to six colors or more if children are involved, that represent what they feel are the most important to them in their marriage.
