Prayers of Honoring

by Pixie Lighthorse

Prayers of Honoring is the original book in Pixie Lighthorse’s prayer trilogy. It offers a way to connect to a power greater than ourselves—to the Source of Life As You Understand It—on our own terms and following our own intuition. With salt and with sweetness, Pixie guides us along gently through word-offerings designed to heal, orient, and fortify. These prayers give sacredness back to everyone, no matter our orientation to the divine, and encourage us to develop a healing intimacy with the natural world. Organized around the four directions, each direction symbolizes a season, an element, and a set of properties and potentials. The book has a circular structure that mirrors life itself, and that encourages us to return, over and over, as the seasons of our own life change, to find new wisdom and perspective. Prayers of Honoring has traveled around the globe and fallen into the hands of many courageous and outspoken individuals and leaders. It has been assimilated into yoga teacher training curriculums and healing circles, read at workshops, demonstrations, and music festivals. -28 prayers, 7 for each cardinal direction. -Space to the left of each prayer to journal, collage, and draw -Journal prompts at the end of each section and space to write -Foreword by Annie Adamson, founder of Yoga Union

This author was referenced in a workshop I attended by author Christena Cleveland. I used this book as morning meditations and really appreciated the author’s unique perspective as an indigenous woman who attends to the spiritual experience of being human. The book was set up as four parts, following the directions (N,S, E,W) and the seasons and included journal prompts and space to write. I liked how the author’s language was expansive and allowed for people of many faith traditions and backgrounds to better connect with the divine/God within the beauty of creation and our complex human experience. I plan to revisit these meditations in the future.

Very Soothing

Just as her other “offerings on the altar of the globe…” these prayers are beyond inspiring, because they are inspired from beyond. And that is clear from the moment the first (electronic) page turns. Because of this book, i was catapulted into the necessary introduction to the language and ideas i needed to FEEL productive in my pursuit of moving forward in the grief of decades of ignoring.

While this offering gives a broader scope of terminology to walk a broader scope of seekers through the many doors open to us all to live as if ALL are ONE. What i appreciate with these books is that i am reading at my pace (which is fast), with the confidence that these pages will NEVER be one and done. As many times as I’ve read the Bible, or listened to Wu-Tang, i will be returning to Pixie Lighthorse’s entire library!

I encourage everyone who can read this far, to take the dive…the healing waters are magnificent!

I loved this book. I don't know if I'll ever finish reading it. It is written by the season, and each page is a prayer. It almost felt like an oracle, each time I opened it the page I read was spot on. And each page felt like it needed to be read over and over to take it in. So now that I'm done, I'll start again!

I love how these prayers are written.
A book I will come back to, will reread, and sit with the words many more times.

Totally beautiful .

I love this book, it brings me back to myself and all that is deeply important and the rich beauty of the Earth and all her abundance. I have read this time and again and find new wisdom every time. This is a real treasure that should be read and shared. Pixie Lighthorse speaks with depth and a unique understanding of the earth and the elements. Highly recommended.
