Prayer Boxes

Prayer Boxes can be used for many different uses. Many people keep them upon their shrines and ask that their own tutelary Goddess Bless the prayers & wishes placed within the box.
The idea is that you write down your desire (or even write down a prayer on behalf of others) and place the wish inside the box.
You may also like to keep reiki symbols to enhance the manifestation process, or draw other meaningful symbols such as goddess spiral or pentagram or whatever else you may feel is appropriate.
You may also care to add crystals, herbs and elaborate the process as much as you want so it becomes more like a spell or you may just prefer to keep it simple,
The choice is personal.

My own small wooden box is one that I found in an occult shop which I like because it’s made from oak and has a silver pentagram inlaid on the lid. It just makes me feel happy to look at it.
I also have a large one that I made from an old recycled wooden toolbox which I painted silver inside and then embellished with silver glitter spirals. The outside is painted in the colours of either the rising/setting sun with a large dragon over the top which I am rather proud of.
I read in a Feng Shui book once never to put any kind of border around Dragons because they like to roam free and have a chance to grow bigger (I think they were talking specifically about Dragon logos on business cards) – anyway, this stayed in my mind so my dragon remains unrestricted J
I now use the Dragon box to keep my candles in & to bless them.

One final object I use is also a pink prayer basket, I found it in a charity shop I love its vibrant pink colour and the shape of it, this one was used more specifically for Reiki healing prayers, I write down the healing required either for a person, animal or situation and put in my pink prayer basket. At the bottom of it I keep Reiki symbols & as I close the lid I ask that the Goddess may assist with the healing process. Then whenever I can I hold the basket and envisage the healing assistance going to the named recipients in the pink basket.
Distance healing can be fun, its nice to be able to focus our intentions like this, I often feel tingling in my hands whilst holding them over the prayer boxes, also amulets, charms or just nice gifts for people may also be placed within to imbue with a special bit of magic.

I hope this inspires you to make a little prayer box of your own, you could even make one from cardboard and decorate with your own designs & embellishments. There are lots of box templates on the internet freely available to printout, you could even recycle old cereal boxes or any bits of old cardboard and transform into a beautiful personal prayer box.

Goddess Reiki

Goddess Reiki has recently been given an assortment of labels which practitioners use to describe the healing energies of Our Sacred Mother of 10,000 names.
Within the Fellowship of Isis we refer to the term as ‘Isian Healing Rays’ whereby we receive the Goddess given energies which transmute situations requiring healing.

Just about every conceivable human condition & affliction can be transmuted by My Lady of All Magic & Healing whom I call Isis. Within my Reiki practices I also call upon her in her aspects of Green Tara who presides over what is known as the violet
flame Reiki .
Personally I also resonate with Sekhmet the lioness headed goddess of healing, one of her forms of Reiki is known as‘Sekhem’.
Although she is The Goddess of 10,000 names and her other reflective aspects resonate more with some people than others do, each of us must find our own relationship with whichever goddess we are drawn to work with.
Healing may occur whereby an old problem (including physical ailments & emotional conditions) are healed in an unexpected way and a new resolve is found that had not presented its self before.
Perhaps for example we find a new way to continue with the same pain which minimises its impact on us, or a new nutrition regime may hold the key to bodily imbalances or maybe a remedy that had not been thought of before suddenly comes to light.
Miracle cures do occur with Reiki healing although there are no guarantees that a particular ailment be totally cured but what most practitioners will agree on is that the recipient of healing energies will receive some benefit or other from it, even a terminal illness may be treated not as a cure but to bring a peaceful transition from one life into the next.

The Healing rays of the Goddess are natural and spontaneous and can not be controlled by anyone, although we may channel them as Reiki practitioners to where they are most needed guided by Isis.
Recipients of the Isian Healing Rays don’t always benefit immediately from the rays that are given to them although many do feel an instant effect which is very pleasant & energising. For others though it is as if the healing rays of Isis have a job that takes more time to work on a number of levels which may be spiritual, emotional & physical. Each experience is personal and unique.

Sometimes healing is not to do with a ‘cure’ of an ailment but about a whole fresh new perspective on the malaise itself and what has bought us to where we are at that time.
If we’re experiencing the same old pains over & over again then obviously some message is being overlooked that we may not have been able to see before.

Stress eventually takes its toll manifesting as some physical ailment or other which is the bodies response to our emotional being – in other words we’re being given a clear message to stop or move on from a situation that has caused the pain in the first place.

In the book ‘You Can Heal Your Life’ is a wonderful list of physical ailments which the healing author ‘Louise Hay’ presents to understand the underlying psychic reasons behind them.
It’s quite a comprehensive list and covers just about every illness imaginable,
Next to it she gives the psychic/emotional reasoning such as, for example:

Pain in the shoulders is to do with feeling tremendously overburdened & put up on, as if you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Stomach problems may be related to not being to literally stomach a situation you may find yourself in, perhaps you hate your job or home life & may be experiencing constant tummy upsets of one sort or another.

By applying the list to personal situations it really does make sense to work with to gain some further insights.

Reiki symbols have been veiled in secrecy in the past but now they are becoming public knowledge thanks to individuals who wish for the symbols to be freely available to all.
Symbols are wonderful to work with they are quite literally the symbolic language of the universe. Try experimenting yourself with them.

Try visualizing spinning upon your out stretched hands (palms up) the figure eight ‘8’ lying on its side in blue light (see image below), you should at the very least feel a sort of energised tickling sensation, with its energy continually flowing it is the symbol we find in the Tarot card ‘The Magician’
The Magician is all about ‘transformation’ and ‘alchemy’ using his intentions to bring about a change in circumstances.
It is an ancient symbol of infinity, without beginning and without end; its free flowing energy continues and is a good energetic symbol to use in Reiki to kick starts a flow of healing rays if you humbly request that the goddess turns on and makes this energy available to you.

Lets face it Reiki has become a huge money spinner for some people who insist that Reiki may only be practiced in a certain way which will be given once you hand
over X amount of cash.
Although I do believe in a fair exchange of energy for someone offering tuition, be that monetary or some other arranged equivalent which is fair for the service offered. I don’t however feel that the extortionate fee’s advertised by ‘Reiki Masters’ can be justified and this wonderful free universal energy has been denied to many individuals who would like to learn the principles involved for themselves.
The following quote is from a wonderful website (the link is at the end of this article) offering free attunements to all:

“Reiki healers do NOT need certificates. You can heal even without these fancy embellishments hanging on your wall. Paper is only provided for those who must prove that they have acquired a certain degree of mastery”

In my own practice I first of all see an image of the winged Goddess Isis in my minds eye standing behind me, above her head she has a glowing spinning ball of energy (you can see this image of Isis in many ancient Egyptian relief paintings.)
Sometimes I ‘feel’ her feathery soft protective wings wrap around my body.
Next I visualize the sign of a spinning golden Ankh symbol above my head and then I feel the light of Isis radiating from her solar disc above her head and flooding down into my crown and then throughout my entire body.
The sensation is quite distinct; I can only describe it as sparkly silver rain for want of better words.
The next part is that she will guide me to direct her healing rays where they are most required, sometimes I will see colours and symbols to focus on, and the symbols are always 3d and often are spinning or moving. These she will instruct to be placed where needed.
For example for emotional healing I may use the ‘sei he kei’ symbol shown above in the level 2 reiki diagram. This I would see floating from Isis to me, through my hands and then down into the crown of the person receiving healing and then staying in the head area to work its magic if it was needed most their,.
It might continue as in some instances sinking lower to the heart chakra area if it is required more within that area or maybe even replicating itself to go to several places as required. The possibilities are endless.

We also may use Reiki on everything else that needs our help I’ve used it on computers, electrical equipment, even a blocked loo with miraculous results I might add, but always after using all of the logical methods first to resolve problems.
The goddess likes to see her children making an effort by helping themselves first, as do all good Mothers.
Any conceivable human situation can be assisted with healing energy including personal circumstances, animal/plants, family/community/global transformation.
Wherever we send our healing intentions & reiki symbols only good can come of it.




The healing itself is bestowed by the Goddess and this we must always remember and give thanks for; she is the source from where the energies flow & must eventually return.
