Ran Prayer Card

Our Ran prayer card is handmade in devotion to Ran, Keeper of the Drowned. It is printed on handmade paper that has real cornflowers pressed into the paper itself. The front features vintage art of a sea monster attacking a ship and snatching a sailor to drown. This art was chosen as Ran, Goddess of the Wild Sea, is known for her net, with which she was said to drown sailors and bring them to her hall beneath the sea. The back features a prayer that is the creation of the Trickster’s Apothecary and shared through these cards with Ran’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 Ran. She is a more obscure goddess with less information available about her than about other deities; we hope this prayer card helps inspire interest in this often ignored goddess who is deeply meaningful to our own practice.

Each card measures 2.5x3.5 inches.

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. 

We encourage the use of our prayers in anyone’s personal practice, but do not consent to our prayers being used for professional use or for profit in any capacity, including but not limited to products, merchandise, and any form of advertising. However, please do feel free to share our prayers and prayer cards with the witches in your life, as a part of your personal practice, and on social media with credit given to the Trickster’s Apothecary. We would love to be tagged in any such posts to see how you use these prayers in your practice!
