Kybele & Gallae Prayer/Altar Card
Kybele & Gallae Prayer/Altar Card
Our Kybele & Gallae prayer card is handmade in devotion to Kybele and her trans priestexes, the Gallae. It is printed on vibrant crimson cardstock. The front features vintage art of women in Grecian garb playing cymbals in a procession; cymbals are sacred to the Gallae who often used them in similar processions. This image is embossed in gorgeous gold and is slightly raised to the touch, making it excellent for meditative work while praying. The back features a prayer that is the creation of the Trickster’s Apothecary and shared through these cards with both Kybele and the Gallae’s blessing. These prayer cards can be used in the same way saint prayer cards are used in folk magic, as well as for using the image as a focus in meditation and the prayer for communion with the Gallae and Kybele.
Each prayer card measures 3.5x5 inches and is well suited for display as an altar card as well as use a prayer card.
Prayer is the easiest, lowest cost way to connect with a deity, and speaking with them often helps deepen your relationship as it would with any physical person. Pre-written prayers can be used as a chant during meditation, when using prayer beads and rosaries, and as a familiar pathway to connect with a given deity. Freeform prayer in the form of speaking directly to your deity with whatever is on your mind can be uncomfortable if it is not a familiar act. To open that door, we have crafted our prayers to ease anyone into prayer with pagan deities with prayers that are pre-written and have the blessing of the deity they are created for. Reach out to your deities with ease and confidence, knowing that their ears will recognize the familiar words.
