Pagan Protection Prayers: Invocations to Deities of Celtic, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, and Mesopotamian Traditions

Protection has been part of human spiritual practice for thousands of years. Across many Pagan traditions, people have called upon gods and goddesses for safety, courage, guidance, healing, household security, safe travel, and strength in difficult circumstances. Pagan Protection Prayers brings this devotional tradition into one accessible collection, offering original invocations addressed to deities from Celtic, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, and Mesopotamian traditions. These prayers are written for moments when protection matters most: before a journey, during uncertainty, when facing conflict, when seeking safety for the home, when working with sacred tools, and when moving through situations that call for courage and good judgment. Protection in this collection is not limited to physical defense. It can also involve asking for wisdom before making a decision, recognizing danger before it develops, or finding courage when circumstances become difficult. The collection is designed for readers who are beginning to explore Pagan devotional practice as well as those who already maintain relationships with particular gods and goddesses. The prayers can be read at an altar, spoken before leaving home, included in a morning or evening practice, used during seasonal observances, or adapted for personal devotional work. They can also serve as inspiration for developing an individual practice that respects the traditions and deities being honored.
