A Book of Pagan Prayer

Front Cover
Weiser Books, May 1, 2002 - Religion - 320 pages
This book aims to provide a selection of prayers - and shows readers how they too can create their own. After an introduction on why to pray, author Ceisiwr Serith explores how people can pray through words, posture, dance, and music. He explains how they can prepare for and compose prayers, how to address and honor the deities, and how to conclude a prayer. Serith also answers questions, such as - Why should pagans pray? Should prayers be spontaneous? What are offerings about? Is all this just trying to buy the gods off?

About the author (2002)

In his 25 years as a Pagan, Ceisiwr Serith has been active in the Pagan community both as a writer and a presenter of workshops at Pagan gatherings. His interest in prayers and offerings grew naturally as the result of writing rituals for Wiccan covens, Druidic groves, and, of course, his book The Pagan Family. He has written several articles on Proto-Indo-European theology and Celtic and Druidic traditions for Enchante, The Druid's Progress, and Oak Leaves. Serith is a member of Arn Draiocht Fein, the nation's largest Druid fellowship, and a founding member of one of its groves.
