When a Pagan Prays

(Nimue)

It’s quite a moment in the life of a book when it crosses the 1000 sales line. This one has taken a while to get there, but it is a niche topic within a niche topic and I took a somewhat unconventional approach to the whole thing. It cheered me this week to find this book has reached this point.

I came to the subject of prayer as someone interested in it rather than someone doing it. I wanted to explore what role prayer plays in spiritual practice and I spent a lot of time reading about what people of other faiths do, as there wasn’t much Pagan material out there.

The wider social view of prayer is that it’s about asking God to give you stuff. This is not generally how things work for people who have a regular prayer practice. It’s much more interesting than that, and is an activity that can have a huge impact on a person.

Some way into the research I decided that I needed to experiment. It would not be enough to just study prayer as a topic, I was going to have to do some if I wanted to understand it. This had a huge impact on the amount of panic I was experiencing at the time and broke me out of starting each day by waking up into a full blown panic attack. Interestingly I wasn’t focusing my prayers on any particular deity or with a view to dealing with the panic. The practice itself gets a lot done regardless of how or where you direct it.
