Customer Reviews

Great Book!

The book examines what prayer is and why it is important. It then gives examples of prayers for every occasion. The author even tells you why he chose certain phrases and symbolism in some of the prayers in order to make it more meaningful. The author also encourages you to write your own prayers as well and tells you how to do so. Definitely worth the money.

Arrived with a good will sticker on it at half the price i paid for the book

I'm not one to get hung up on these kind of things i just think that it is extremely unprofessional to ship an item to someone with a sale sticker from another company attached to it when that sticker shows half the price that your customer paid you for it. Probably my last purchase from this site. This is the second issue in three purchases.

An Excellent One of a Kind (so far)

To begin with "Why and How We Pray" as a first part of the book is remarkable and truly makes this an outstanding addition to any Pagan's bookshelf. Many Pagans might first cringe at the word "prayer" but after absorbing 68 pages of background, the cringe will be gone, replaced by an eagerness to explore the "nearly 500" prayers layed out. There are prayers for the everyday and prayers for the exceptional, prayers alone and prayers for groups. Add tables of offerings and deities, a bibliography, and notes and the result is a superb book for Pagans and those who might be Pagan curious.

Very User Friendly

This is a wonderful book for any Pagan to own. The prayers found in this book are very usable, practical, and easy to modify. Serith put a lot of thought and study into prayer, how and why we use/need it, as well as how to write prayers of your own.

Pagan Prayer

This is a wonderful book! It's full of information for praying to the Gods and Goddesses, Spiritual Entities and Deities. It also introduces you to some that you may have never encountered. I think this is a great book for someone that is new to the religion and to those that have been following the path for quite sometime.

Great Little Book of Prayer

No matter what manner of Pagan you are, you will be pleased by this little book. Its handy size, tasteful dark green cover and easy-to-read typeface makes it a pleasure to hold and read. When you get through admiring the outside of the book, there are many treasures inside. There is a thorough discussion on the topic of prayer, why we pray, who we pray to, and how to compose a good prayer. Even if you think there is nothing new that can be said about the subject of prayer, you will think differently when you read this book. A Book of Pagan Prayer also contains a wealth of prayers suitable for many different occasions and events, beautifully and thoughtfully written. The best thing about the book, however, is that it will inspire you to compose some prayers of your own, and use them in your own worship and rituals. Dare I call this book an instant classic? I think I dare! You will enjoy the author's intelligent and gentle style throughout the prayer book. Spontaneous prayer is admirable, but a well-composed written prayer has goodness too, as this small book will teach you. Get two, so you will have one to give away.Five well-deserved stars.

Prayers answered

In this book, the reader is taken on a tour of not only the forms of prayer, but the reasons behind them. Numerous examples are given, giving the reader the option to use those that appeal to them straight out of the book, or to write their own based upon the forms demonstrated. In a market deluged with fluffy "How To's", this book is a delightful breath of fresh air. Rather than rehashing the same tired information over again, Mr. Serith focuses on helping the reader either begin or strengthen their relationship with the divine, regardless of which deity or deities the reader feels drawn to. Groundbreaking, and an easy and enjoyable read to boot.
