I think what you're doing to change the prayers to honor yourself is brilliant! I love that you chose to keep the rhythm of the prayers. They're beautiful and inspiring! I have been working with Somatic Writing with the Ancestors with Tanya Taylor Rubinstein. I have been using tarot, specifically utilizing ideas from Ancestral Grimoire: Connect with the Wisdom of the Ancestors through Tarot, Oracles, and Magic by Nancy Hendrickson. I have been rewriting some of my ancestry stories for healing myself and my lineage. So I can relate to the idea of rewriting stories and prayers for honoring ourselves and our ancestors (past and future) for the purpose of healing. Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey and these creative ideas. Blessings!
Thank you so much for the comment and for sharing what you’re working on and the resources. I definitely want to check out the Ancestral Grimoire! Be well 💜
I think it's definitely okay to make changes to prayers and practices, because the relationship with the Divine is very personal. Reading your post brought memories of a college class on Feminist Theology. Because Catholicism spread so widely, this is also a way I think of to connect with ancestors. I also want to connect to indigenous ancestors but I feel that knowledge is less accessible for me. Thank you for sharing 💜
I wonder if connecting through Mary might help lead you to older goddesses and other deities. I feel like Mary is a beacon as she was forced on so many, but presumably the relationship people have formed with her is one that reaches farther back in roots. This is something I’ve thought about/have been wondering ever since reading the way of the rose. Thank you for sharing 💜 I always love our exchange of ideas 🥰
