How do you find ritual texts/prayers/you name it for your practice? Do you compose them by yourself or find them in a book or the internet? How do you incorporate them into your practice?
This is something I have been struggling with because most of the prayers I find online are Wiccan-inclined (or sometimes towards a specific pantheon) or written in rhyme/some kind of poetic English which would sound a bit pretentious for someone who is not a native speaker or doesn't have a special connection to the language.
However, composing prayers by myself feels a bit forced and weird, there is just too many options: which words (or which language) to use, which issues to address, how to make it a prayer and not just another piece of frantic scribbling in a notebook?
So, any kind of insight into ritual texts and prayers is welcome! :-)
