My Prayer to Daunnat: The Eternal Land

O Daunnat, Blessed Realm of Evermore, I stand before you, yearning to bask in the light that flows from your enchanted shores. You are the sacred bridge between life and rebirth, a paradise where souls are cleansed and renewed. As I honor the transitions of existence, I invoke your spirit, connecting with the divine waters of Muet that carry souls to your gentle embrace. O Mysterious Tsellet, guide my spirit as it journeys through the gates of courage, kindness, and love. Let each threshold I cross, governed by the wise guardians, strengthen my heart and enrich my soul. May the blessings of Odjett's balance guard my steps, and Quatt's unwavering faith illuminate the path before me as I seek peace through the realm's verdant valleys. With a humble heart, I offer the essence of my past, casting away all guilt and sorrow into the divine waters. I lay forth my intentions, like petals upon the flowing Muet, as symbols of my growth and aspirations for a life filled with kindness and compassion. As I seek the grace of Chumash and Kalma, may my offerings serve as tokens of respect, honoring those who have walked before me in Daunnat.

O Kalma, Keeper of Nature's Abundance, bless me with the wisdom of your gardens and streams, nurturing my spirit as it journeys toward rebirth. May the spirits of my ancestor's dwell beside me, guiding my actions in this life, reminding me of the love that binds us across realms. Let each star in your luminous skies serve as a beacon of hope, connecting the past to the promise of a brighter future. In solemn reverence, I pledge to honor the cycle of life, to learn from my earthly experiences, and embrace the redistribution of my soul's lessons. O Daunnat, my heart sings for the beauty of your realm—a flourishing sanctuary where each soul is celebrated, and where love transcends the boundaries of time. So shall it be, in adoration and faithfulness to Daunnat, the sacred land of renewal, forever nurturing and guiding the spirits of all who pass through.

Syember!

BOWYNN GODS: SHAYLA

Shayla  (Shae-lah)  Shayla is the Bowynn goddess of the day and light. She is the creation of the Bia and her coming forth was the balance of Night and Darkness. She is the twin sister to Saul and sister to Daeth and Tora. Saul married his sister Shayl and their bore two daughters, Enya (Dawn) and Treya (Dusk). While Shayla is often seen with all the symbols and attributes of summer, she is a goddess of daytime year-round and is revered greatly in winter, when the days are shorter. Then again in summer, when days are longer

     While Shayla’s brother set out to defeat the cosmic lion that guarded Light, Shaya and her sister Tora where constantly bickering about bringing balance to the eternal darkness of heaven. This went on for generations, even after the earth was created. Finally, they consulted the great creator Bia. It was ruled that the two would hold a contest to see which element would rule over the other. The game was of dice. When the game to an end the two sisters were tied so Bia decreed that night, and day would be equal in length.

     Shayla is seen and depicted a glorious young woman glowing of radiant golden light. She is said to has a head of long golden hair and golden eyes, wearing a white dress. The pendant she wears holds the essence of the day. She crown is in the shape of a sunflower and her gown of silvery white. She is often seen with her twin brother Saul and their daughter Enya and in her hand a sunflower.

     Sunflowers are the most sacred symbol to Shayl and in summer her temples are greatly adorned with them. The goddess's totem animal is the canary and so votive images of canaries and yellow feathers are offered in abundance, as well is yellow and white candles.

Update

Due to some sick perverted idiots on this site, I had to delete a few pictures of deities. Leave it to these children of Satan to ruin something as beautiful as someone's faith with their sick fetishes and morbid fantasies.

I apologize for the deletions, but I refuse to 'feed' the likes of these "less than human" people.

Bowynn Gods: Nareen

Nareen (Nah-rin) Nareen is one of the three Ano Taya goddesses. She is the eldest of the three Ano Taya and the daughter of Bia. As one of the three Ano Taya, Nareen is the goddess of the Future and is the goddess that checks on the woven threads in the Tapestry of Life, that’s Narna (The Present) has woven, tightening them into place. Nareen is the final judge as to the threads of life that are woven into the Tapestry of Life. And only Nareen can alter a threads course. Even Anhur himself must ask Nareen to remove or cut a thread, which is very rare. Nareen is also a goddess of prophecy; people often praying to her to change the course of their lives for the better.

Nareen is the Goddess of The future. She is called "The Bending One because the future is always altered by our choises. Nareen is the Goddess of What Is To Be, The goddess of the elderly, and the goddess of possible destinies. She is also a patroness to oracles and people that divine. Sadly, many people and gods have accused her of being the goddess of a solid set course of events, but Nareen is nothing of the sort. She represents the 'Ever Altering Future." She has nothing to do with how the future plays out. She only guards the events in the Tapestry of Life. Nareen has always warned people and the gods that she does not control nor altar the future. "You do that yourself. I work in thread and wool, not in stone."

     Nareen is a goddess seen as an old wise woman, a grandmother figure.  She is dressed in purples or sometimes black, with a veil on her head topped with a crown of flowers. In her hand is seen a spool of wool and loom cob. As with her sisters, Nareen has no totem animals.

BOWYNN GODS: SANNA

Sanna  (Sahn-nu-ah)  This race of Kii is much similar to the ancient Greek and Roman “Ichthyocentaur.” That is to say the fore part is human, the back end is of a dolphin and has the front legs of a horse. The Sanna are the kii that protects boats, ports, harbours, and men that depend on the sea as a livilyhood. Bowynn ports will have a Sanna sculpture facing outward as a protective ward.

BOWYNN GODS: PHOENIX

Possession of goddesses with Phoenix at the end

Phoenix  (Fee-niks)  In the Bowynn Tradition, Phoenix is the daughter created by Bia. Sister to Brea, Unthar, Summon. She is the very element of Fire and one of the great creatrix. Phoenix is the goddess of fire, volcanoes, earthquakes, flame, warmth of light and smoke. She is not just the destructive side of these attributes but the nurturing side as well. She warms people in the winter and from destruction comes life anew, She is the baker of pottery, melter of sand to make glass and metals, the heat and flame of the hearth.

     When the gods created mankind from earth, it was Phoenix that baked the clay that was used to form mankind, there-by not only giving mankind skin, but gave each one a heart of passion and love. And she assures us that from death, we are reborn again. Not because we are to learn life's lessons but to embrace all that life has to offer that is wonderful. She is one of the great 7 that form the symbolism of the septagram. During the time of the great 7 Sacred Days, Phoenix gave mankind the knowledge of fire, How to make it, contain it, how to avoid and respect it, how to tame it and use it for our advantage.

     Phoenix is seen as a motherly figure of deep red hair and dress. She bears a golden circlet on her head as well. Not a fearful figure but a warm embracing goddess. Other times she is seen as a great red phoenix bird. Sacred to Phoenix is images of phoenix birds and a candle flame. These are the most common gifts given to the goddess but any image of birds or fire is welcome to the goddess.

Bowynn Gods: Morrighynn

Morrighynn   (Mor-re-gin)  Morrighynn is the Bowynn goddess of the moon. In the sacred and divine family, she holds one of the more enriched sacred stories of all the goddesses and gods. Aside from the moon she is a goddess of the night and the stars. While her mother Tora is the prime goddess of the night, Morrighynn is still a goddess presiding over this time of the day. She is also the goddess of meteor showers, the constellations, the night sky (working together with her Mother Tora). As the moon influences the tides, Morrighynn is also seen as a goddess of sea tides. She is the patroness to Astrologers, Astronomers, Astronauts and those working in space sciences.

Morrighynn's name literally means "Star Mistress". Why her main attribute is the Moon [Mor], she is really the goddess of all nightly celestial bodies and happenings. Morrs [Stars] are seen is as mini moons.

     Morrighynn is not to be confused with the Keltic goddesses of the same basic name. She holds no attributes to that of war, fear nor that of a triple goddess. Nor does she bear any hunting aspects like her Mediterranean counterparts. She is a sweet caring goddess who also is the patroness of horses. Particularly white horses.  The sacred stories speak of Morrighynn and her beloved Herne are endless and play a crucial part in the Bowynn calendar. She is introduced to Herne on the first day of spring, they first united on the first of May. Herne and Morrighynn are married on the first of spring and Hern dies on the first of November. By Herne, Morrighynn is the mother of the 4 lords of the winds. One of her sacred tales speaks of her taming the 30 white immortal horses of the moon. And it is with these horses she guides the moon across the night sky. Her horses incidentally are all named for each of the 30 days of the Bowynn month and the moon phases there-in.

     Morrighynn is said to be a most beautiful raven-haired goddess and a smile that can charm humans and animals alike. Her dress and hlad are of white and flaked with silver. She bares a crown or circlet of stars that encircle her head and has deep blue eyes. Sometimes she bears a staff in her hands, sometimes, a globe representing the moon, other times she carries a bridle of white and silver. And even other times she is seen holding a white lily, the flower most sacred to her. The lily being the flower Hern presented to her in their wedding ceremony. Her totem animals are the white horse, owl and wolf. So, at times she will take such forms when around people. Sacred offerings to Morrighynn are of milk (commonly offered on full and dark moons), water, lily's and other white flowers, votive images of horses, wolves, owls and stars and of course, incense.
