I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
— G.K. Chesterton
After centering and invoking the One(s) to whom we wish to address our prayer of thanksgiving (and I very much welcome and encourage your ongoing discussions of how you do this), we start listing those things for which we offer gratitude.
This is where, if you have made your own Pagan prayer beads, you will have sorted through what you most wish to give thanks for every day (or whenever you practice this ritual).
Have you done this yet? Even if you aren’t using beads, you might want to give some thought to what you would like to offer thanksgiving for, as a repeated practice.
You may wish to make a list, or continue making your prayer beads, or simply start. I’ll be back next week with the next bead, but for now, the first one after my starter (where I invoke the names of my most beloved Divine Ones) is a sectional bead that delineates the first segment:
…Starting with your great gift of the Wheel of the Year…
More next week.
