Hello! First of all, I would like my post to be ignored by any bigot who can’t respect other religions because of the tag ‘praying’. Scroll.
Welcome to another post of mine! Today, I’ll be talking about praying. Now, most baby pagans get confused when this is the case. It’s not the same as they do in abrahamic religions. There are many ways to pray, and I would suggest you to find your own way. However, most Hellenists, Norse pagans, or the ones that worship one god from only one pantheon can research ways to pray. I will leave some resources at the end of my post.
Higher beings should be respected, so you can choose certain times of the day if you also want to stay disciplined. This will be a little hard, but that’s completely fine, you get used to it. Plus, you can add some formality inside. I veil most of the time, cleanse my space and kneel, especially if I’m going to ask for something from my Gods.
You can use prayer beads as well. Chanting their name, enn, anything. I find this useful with Dark Gods and demons, we don’t really worship demons, we just respect them. So, put everything that reminds you of them into the threat and there you go!
Praying is a good way to bond with deities as well. You can write your own ones to them and read it. One of the easiest way to talk to them obviously. Of course, don’t forget to make offerings but if you’re going to praise them, I don’t think it’s necessary.
Thank you for reading my post! I know it’s shorter than most but I didn’t know what else to talk about. Here are some resources:
