Tomorrow my Mystress comes over once again and i get to welcome my dear Mystress. As you may of read when my Mystress arrives....i welcome her inside. Dressed in my greeting attire ( Dress shirt, collar and restraints and the rest bare along with a smile), I take a knee and with my right arm crossed, fist over my heart, and offer up my collar. When Mystress is ready she takes my collar.
At this time i recite my mantra to Mystress looking lovingly in her sweet eyes. Mystress often kneels with me at this point and we embrace but i do not release my pose. Once Mystress has put my collar on and released me from my pose (tapping me on the shoulder being the que) am i free to embrace my dear Mystress.
This greeting has evolved over time and i am sure it would evolve over time to come. As you can see its quite different and unique. But it has also been a point of thought...how do other subs greet their Mistress's/Masters? What are there procedures? What do they do that makes it special? What do they do to make it even more special?
Perhaps these questions could serve as a means to get our new or old guests involved in the blog. It would be interesting to see how others do what they do. I know Mystress finds great joy in reading other's blogs and gaining some insight from their posts. If anyone feels compelled to answer the questions, feel free to leave a comment or a simple email.

How wonderful that your Mystress has created such a beautiful greeting ritual ritual, one that fits your dynamic so well and that evolves as your relationship does.
Sir isn't very much into decorum or possibly, as we are living together and are often not alone when He comes home, He finds it unpractical.
Either way, the rule is that, when alone, I kneel in the kitchen when I hear His car on the driveway - or earlier, if He texts me. He enters the house through the back door and either orders me to get up or, more often, doesn't say a words and silently pets me, which makes it unable for me to resist clinging to His legs and purr *blushes
Like your Mystress, my Sir often kneels with me and holds me - which makes me cry sometimes.
When we're not alone there is unfortunately no such ritual, but I try to go and greet Him when He comes in and ask if He wants anything like a cup of coffee. (Try to, I admit being too much of a spoiled brat sometimes, or life just gets in the way.)
I know this probably sounds a bit sentimental but reading what you've written and commenting reminded me of how blessed we all are - I need to be reminded sometimes *winks - even if it's hard to maintain this dynamic now and again.
A heartfelt thank you to both of you for deciding to write about the beauty you share.
I am very happy that our writings remind you of the special relationship we all share.
Like you at times i need reminding but each time i am reminded it shows how special what we have really is.
It is also very interesting to read your greeting ritual. Some similarities and some differences yet as whoole still something special that invokes a very powerful reaction in us pets.
May the future posts be as enjoyable for you.
Sadly my Owner and I are separated for the next several months. It was only after he left that in our discussions we decided to make a shift from a regular vanilla relationship to a Owner/pet relationship, so although we have talked about greeting rituals, they are not yet able to be put into practice. It was something I touched on in our blog...
"When my Owner comes home from work, rather than kneeling in such a formal manner, sitting and waiting silently for his recognition, I would much rather greet him at the door with a smile and a kiss (at this point if I had a tail I would be wagging it!), then lower to the floor in either a sit or a kneel and wrap my arms around him."
It is important for me to lower myself before him, although the formality of the traditional slave kneel has little appeal for either of us. I guess we won't really know until he gets back here. Wonder if I can get away with dropping to the floor at the airport?
Pet
Sorry to hear you will be apart from your Owner fr so long. I can't imagine being apart from my Mystress for so long. One thing i do know is that the reunion would be absolutely mind blowing and you should look forward to that to pass the time.
As with your greeting ritual, I do greet my Mystress with a smile when i let her in...i only adopt my kneeling position when she is there to watch me take take the knee.
Now dropping to the floor at the airport...well i guess that would depend on te airport security :)
My boyfriend/slave and I don't have a greeting ritual, but you make me wish we did!
We often see each other in front of others, though, so it would have to have a vanilla version (which is true of many of our protocols).
I have to think about this some more.
Greetings and Thanks to all for writing about their thoughts on this subject.
Some of My thoughts on this...
The 'greeting ritual' started simply enough. However from the start I wanted Paladin's kneeling to be different, and not the 'tradiional' kneeling pose that most submissives take. So, the more Knightly version was My first choice. This then evolved into adding the fealty gesture into it, and from there I incorporated the idea of the mantra into Paladin's greeting and daily rituals after reading about one on persephonee's web page.
She wrote about how she has to recite her manta at least once and then txt her Owner that she had. She was gracious to recount it for her readers, and so I sent it to pet, and instructed him to devise one of his own, and so the one that you read, is of his own inspiration. I can't say how moved I am each time he says it for us when he greets Me. I like hearing him say it to Me and I have him say it for Me at other times as well.
Paladin's greeting and our ritual has very much evolved over time, and like pet says, I'm sure it will continue to as we add different things to it.
I think even the simpliest of motions can be deeply moving and important to both Dom and sub.
to slut on display...
My kneeling with pet has become something that I find I prefer, as I can see directly into his lovely eyes as he recites his mantra. I can feel the strength of the passion that he radiates during this ritual.
Being on a level, face to face with him when he recites it makes it all the more intense.
This has become more of a sharing moment between us. I greatly enjoy leaning forward and buckling his collar on. Sometimes before I do, I query him about the reason's that he still wants his collar before I do buckle it on. I may ask him how he feels about it. I like how he drops his head down so I can reach behind him to clasp it on. I fumble with it sometimes due to the high levels of erotic energy between us. It's a simple buckle that somehow becomes very complex then he is kneeling there and I am claiming him yet again with this action.
And.. after I do, as I've said many times, I hug him. I can always feel him trembling beneath My arms.. well, not exactly trembling...perhaps more like humming beneath his muscles. I can feel him just waiting.. poised.... we both know what comes next.
There is always that wonderful moment when I tap his shoulder, and release him from his pose. The way he sweeps Me up and draws Me close to him and wraps his arms around Me and kisses Me deeply that never fails to give Me chills and move Me deeply. It starts each meeting with a potent bonding ritual.
To pet -
I do not like imagining going for months without seeing or touching Paladin. For Me, I am anxious after a week if we have to skip altogether for some reason. We are both very dedicated to not letting that happed if we can do anything to avoid it. However, pet is right, our communications and knowledge of our connection and how wonderful our next greeting will be helps make it bearable.
May I ask, how long before you are able to see your Owner again?
As for his smile... When pet says he smiles for me, He means it. I just pointed out to My Lady friend last nite when pet opened the door, looked around it and smiled at us how much I love that particular smile. As all he is wearing is his dress shirt and restraints, and he really does not want his neighbors to see him so 'adorned', so he literally 'peeps' around the door, just his smile visable and all the rest of his body blocked by the door. So literally the first and only thing I see of him IS his smile. Very cute! He then pulls the door open with him behind it, I put whatever I am carrying down, and then..
Watching pet take his knee before Me moves Me much more then if I came in and found him kneeling and waiting for Me. You are quite right, there is something about watching him actually kneel that does have more impact to Me.
As for droppng at the airport, Here is a suggestion. You can certainly drop something after you hug him so that you have a good reason to kneel and pick it up. You can lean againt his calfs for a moment, and as you will both know what it signifies, it will have the meaning that you desire it to.
And to Devestating...
The impact on both of us that Paladin's greeting ritual has had on the strength of our relationship has been enormous. It It sets the tone of his submissiveness, and I belive that the ritual also allows him to move through gears that move him into a deeper state of submission. The fact that he is also required to be wearing his ankle and wrist restraints before I arrive. I think again, that this also helps put him into the submissive 'zone' before My arrival. I shall have pet write about it when he is able.
If I were to have to meet pet in a toally public place in front of others, then I would have him bow his head down briefly (to other's I'm sure it would appear simply as a nodd of acknowledment of My presence) and drop his eyes momentaily as a 'signal' between us.
Towards another step.. Like pet dropping of something above so that she could kneel before her owner in a public place.. that would also be of special significance to us as Mistres's.
Perhaps you could drop something and he could kneel to pick it up for you. (smile). I do rather like that idea for Myself and will have to keep it in mind. (bigger smile)
Thanks again very much for sharing your thoughts and experiences, and longings. I continue to hope others will as well.
Best to all,
Mystress
Ones greeting ritual does not have to be lavish and such...a simple gesture is more that adequte to start the practice....it is more a symbol of dedication thatn anything else.
As Mystress pointed out...mine started off rather simple and over time it has grown and evolved...perhaps starting with something simple would be key to giving it a try and seeing where it goes from there .. if it does go from there.
