Powerful Traditions: Pagan Prayers

An Easy-reading, Fully indexed eBook of Pagan Prayers by Marah Ellis Ryan

Writing more than 20 books between 1889 and 1924, Marah Ellis Ryan was a popular author, actress, and activist for Native American rights at the turn of the 19th century. Ryan unknowingly anticipated the tendency of neo-Paganism to accumulate rituals and liturgy from a wide range of traditions.


Although most of this collection regards Native American traditions, it also includes Ancient Near Eastern, Muslim, Hindu and other prayers.
