Adelaide's Prayerbook

Unread post by Glowfire »

Image

Adelaide's prayerbook has various songbirds among flowers and ivy depicted on its cover. Judging from the cover alone, it is quite new.

The empty pages are being filled with poems and prayers, written in common along with a celestial translation.


Pages/Entries:

Entry 1 - The Way to Sune
Entry 2 - Open our Hearts
Entry 3 - Your Breath, Your Core
Entry 4 - Teach Me
Entry 5 - Smile Upon Me
Entry 6 - Tattoos
Entry 7 - Hold Fast to Dreams
Entry 8 - Tymoran Prayers
Loose papers - Sheela Peryroyl
Loose papers - Sharindilar
Loose papers - Angharradh
Loose papers - Hanali Celanil
Loose papers - Selune
Loose papers - Lliira
Loose papers - Sune
Entry 9 - Inspire
Entry 10 - When Good Fortune Eludes
Loose paper - May You See Tymora's Light
Entry 11 - I Love You


// Many prayers are adaptations of real prayers from a variety of religions, with some being re-written to suit the setting/Sune more. You'd be welcome to make use of these poems even if they appear in a personal book, as they would likely be shared within faith.

Most are from worldprayers.org

Forgotten Realms lacks an official Celestial alphabet, Enochian is therefore used in its place (traditional english reading order is kept for ease).

Written in looping letters on the first page is a few words to Adelaide and a short prayer. The Celestial script is crammed beneath it in Adelaide's own hand.

Adelaide,
For awakening love in my tired heart.
-Luke


Start the day with Love
Spend the day with Love
Fill the day with Love
End the day with Love
This is the way to Sune.

Open our Hearts

Open our ears to hear Your word,
Open our eyes to see Your beauty,
Open our hearts to be warmed by Your love.

[Tattoo on Adelaide's left arm:]

Your Breath, Your Core

O love, O pure deep love, be here, be now - be all;
Worlds dissolve into your stainless, endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with you brighter than cold stars.
Make me your servant, your breath, your core.

Teach Me

Teach me to serve you as you deserve;

To give and not to count the cost.

To fight and not to heed the wounds.

To toil and not to seek for rest.

To labour and ask not for reward;


Save that of knowing that I do your will.

Smile Upon Me

Sune, glorious and beautiful, I beg you!
Don't, my sweet Lady, with pains and harsh torments
Lay your silken sash upon my poor spirit,
But rather turn your radiant countenance
To me, and smile upon me.

Come then now, dear goddess, and release me from my anguish.
All my heart's desiring grant thou now.
Now too again as aforetime,
Be thou my ally.
Power is the most persuasive rhetoric.

[Tattoo on Adelaide's back:]

Make me a loving example of your generous love,
and a blessing to everyone I see.


[Tattoo on Adelaide's right arm:]

When you live as a light,
Your heart is joined in the infinite Light of Love.

And that about you which is eternal - remains.

Your light remains.


[Tattoo on Adelaide's left leg:]

From the heart,
To thought,
To word,
to action.

Through life's trials and hardships,

We can arise beautiful and free.

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Fortune fish from the sea,
Come and bring good luck to me.
I need some luck brought my way,
Swim through the currents to me today.



May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,
may Tymora hold you in the palm of her hand.
