This is beautiful. I love the intensity of way Indians feel about life and nature. My son-in-law is Apache Mexican and he too, has that intensity, although he is Christian. I've no idea of what a Wiccan is.

A very well-written prayer to acknowledge nature and the Higher power that makes everything a rounds us fire s to enjoy and to adore. We realize his small and insignificant we are when we look at the wonders around us.

This spiritual pagan prayer has the reader following a person's gratitude shown through the acknowledgement of the natural forces of the world and one's closer environment as gifts that are to be seen, shared, cherished, and held with the highest respect. Nice.

What a lovely text! Even though it's written in prose, it's extremely poetic.
Just one question: did you write magic with k on purpose?
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Maria for reading and reviewing. I am surprised that you caught that, no one else has lol, yes it was on purpose. I was told a long long time ago that if I wanted to grasp it and claim it, I had to make it mine, lots spell it with a 'j' instead of a 'g' but I chose to use the 'k'. Glad you enjoyed it.
-
Cool explanation! Anyway, it looks prettier with a k. Do you know there's a children's book called Magik?

I did not know that but I am not surprised, I will have to look for it, thanks.

aryr,
I enjoyed your poem. It is a great prayer. You are right. We should all be thankful for the many things nature/Earth provide all. Your words flow smoothly with great descriptive lines. I would just name this prayer not pagan prayer, but that is your choice. To me pagan seems to negate prayer. Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

Thank you Jan for reading and reviewing. I truly understand where you are coming from with the title, however in society both Wiccans and Native Americans are considered to be non Christian beliefs and thus listed as pagan. So although some will take it as negative, I will stick with it on principle along, but thanks.

I did not know that is where the title came from. I did not mean it was wrong, just unsure.

Oh you are fine my friend, just trying to explain a little more.
Comment from Pantygynt
I would call this a prose poem, it is so beautifully stated. That word "pagan" literally meaning "of the country" has been got at by generations of Christians to imply something evil when it has logically no such connotations. The similarities in religions around the world intrigue me more than the differences. The ideas of sky father and earth mother are almost universal throughout the western world and if that permeates across the pond to the beliefs of indigenous North American tribes it would strengthen my belief that there is a commonality amongst all human beings that is fundamental to them.

Comment from Lilol
Dear writer, this story is very short and you have some misspelling errors. However, it is really meaningful. It will make a good tale for a book on myths and this is very descriptive. This explains a lot about your interesting culture. This story is very much accurate in the terms of being a prayer.

thank you so much for reading and reviewing, I typed when enroute on highway 94 in Montana and North Dakota- up and down the hills and valleys with so much beauty to be seen for miles and miles- it reminded me of my daily prayers.

Yes, it is right to give thanks every day no matter what belief we have. The earth gives us many gifts and it is right to give back. We give honor by appreciating our place in the scheme of the universe. Nicely written and with gratitude. Marilyn
