#daedra worship
ModernMythologists
The most recent prompt for Modern Mythologists has been “Try getting in touch with your spirit guides or deity you’ve always wanted to make contact with and write about your experience!” We got to read each other’s exciting stories about meeting new deities. Here’s one example from the pop culture pagan side of our server, about contacting Meridia, The Daedric Prince of Life.
Breath of Life
The Sun.
That is the card Lady Azura gave me as an answer to my question. I had asked if she consented to me introducing myself to Lady Meridia. I do dream of working with both of them, but before I actually get started with Meridia, I wish to honor my promise to Azura. Promise of regularly devoting time for her, promise of showing that I am committed. Daedric Princes have expectations and don’t wish to be forgotten or ignored. When I’ve proved that I can keep up with a consistent worship, I can follow the both of them. Dawn and Dusk, Light and Life.
The Sun.
What could be a clearer sign of approval? And at the very same time the perfect card to represent the Lady of Infinite Energies herself? I excitedly pour an offering of honeyed tea and address the one once known as Merid-Nunda. A sense of approval washes over me.
The Sun.
Candles are lit and I settle down. I wish to travel, I want to see her. Talk to her. I close my eyes, take deep breaths. Soon I am surrounded by bright beams of light, bathing in their warmth. I can see nothing more, only endless radiance. I think I catch a glimpse of a winged silhouette in the golden glow, but I am uncertain. I decide to trust in my instincts.
The Sun.
I’m not sure where exactly I am, but it is beautiful. Peaceful. Only light. I find myself thinking about life. Nothing specific, just… life itself, if that makes sense. It does to me in that moment as I feel invigorated by the rays of light. I don’t exactly hear a voice, but I’m quite certain that I am being talked to. I can make out a single command in my mind:
Live.
As I take that in, I feel a strong sense of approval again. I am accepted, I am welcomed. Her hand touches my forehead, conferring her blessing.
I wake up, and feel alive.
