30 Day Devotional To Sayari

Guest Post From Aya Ruje of Klana Ruje

 

I would like to first start off this post with a bit about myself. Things have been hectic for our family, to say the least. We are dealing with a lot of worldly things right now. We haven’t been free of stress, and it has not only seeped into our spiritual life, but it has distinctly flavored it. Soon, you will see posts about my efforts to retune our families energy, especially since I plan to post much more with Michelle’s site.

One of these ideas I have for retuning our energy a 30 day devotional to Sayari. I haven’t worked out all of the details yet, however I also acknowledge the ability to wing it. I am not a fan of winging it though. I am much too calculated of a person.

What Is A 30 Day Devotional To Sayari?

Well, a devotional is a ritual devotion. In a 30 day devotional to Sayari, each day will begin with devotion to Sayari. I feel that I am being compelled to make 3 actionable offerings to Sayari each day.

In my mind, an actionable offering is something other than an object offering. Sure, offering fruit is an offering and their is nothing wrong with that. I feel that there is more energy potential in an actionable offering, where my offering is the completion of some type of action.

So far, I have received two great suggestions for actionable offerings. These are:

• Energetic Offerings
• Caring For A Plant

Caring for a plant would be an ongoing thing, so I would work that out in the following way. One day for my actionable offering I would place a plant on our Sayari Shrine (once I make one for our new home, of course). From that point on, caring for that plant would count for the offering of the day I placed the plant on the shrine. Watering it and grooming it each day would not be considered an offering for that day.

Energetic Offerings

These are much more simple than you would expect, especially for something with such a name. Anyone could make an energetic offering. I could play the Ukulele at the shrine with the intent of spending the energy in honor of our Great Mother. I could meditate and offer the energy used in meditation to her. I could exercise and offer Her that energy.

 

A Different Offering Each Day

As my reasoning behind doing a 30 Day Devotional to Sayari is to do some major retuning of not only my energy but our whole families energy, it seems fitting that each day my actionable offering be unique.

I have 2 ideas so far for offerings, leaving me with 28 more to think of.

Sayari Paganism: Who Is Sayari of The Klana Way

We use the terms Sayari Paganism and The Klana Way interchangeably. However, the two terms do represent two different aspects of the same Path.

What Is Sayari Paganism?

The Klana Way is a pagan tradition of Sayari Paganism. Sayari Paganism is a religion that views the Earth and her Nature to be not only sacred, but also a living being. We name this being Sayari.

Other cultures, religions and people have their own names for her. Some call her Mother Nature, others call her Gaia.

In Sayari Paganism, we view the Earth as Sayari’s body. Her soul, spirit, or life energy, however you wish to call it, is often called Nature as a general term by the general population.

Sayari is our mother and our home. We are cells of her body, much like our body has cells. All life on Earth are her children, and depend on her to live. Her health is affected by the health and actions of her cells, all of Klana Karichna and Klana Vejna.

Sayari Is Our Mother

Sayari is grandmother to all plants and animals. Her Daughter, Karichna, is mother to all humans, fish, birds, dogs and animal life as a whole.

All of Klana Karichna was born from the Womb of Sayari. A long time ago, the waters of Earth (Sayari’s Womb) began to grow life. This life was simple, single celled organisms. There wasn’t really any variation or different species of single celled organisms. There was just life. The fetus of Klana Karichna.

Over time, these first babies of Klana Karichna began to grow, to evolve and to change. They took different directions in their evolution. Regardless, all of Klana Karichna come from these first babies of Klana Karichna.

The Story we tell goes like this, in brief.

In Sayari’s Womb began to grow a life, a small, simple life that she named Karichna. Karichna began to grow inside the Womb of Sayari, and had children of her own. Some of these children stayed inside Sayari’s womb, while others we born to the outside and crawled on the land that is Sayari’s body. Some of Karichna’s children were the dolphins, others the sharks, whales and various kinds of fish. Some of Karichna’s children were the dogs, the birds, the humans, the insects.

All of Karichna’s children are brother and sister, and are grandchildren to Sayari, the Great Mother of Klana Sayari.

We aim to show love to our Great Mother and help her, care for her and protect her as she does for us.

A Simple Way To Show Your Love To Great Mother Sayari

 

It Is Important To Make Room For Our Great Mother Sayari

It is important that every follower of the Klana Way invite Sayari into their homes and their family. Sayari is our Grandmother, and is Great Grandmother to our children. Our children should know their Great Grandmother, and should see their parents treating her with love and respect.

It is important that we make room for Great Mother Sayari in our family and our home.

A Simple Sayari Shrine

Shrines are a great way to keep our minds focused on something positive. Shrines speak to our subconscious in a way that in indescribable. They have an effect on us.

Our family has a small, simple Sayari shrine set up in our living room. It’s nothing more than a small end table. We sit down with the kids for some craft time and using materials that we have found on our walks outside, we create decorations and gifts that we leave on the table. Our oldest son drew a picture of what he thinks the Great Mother looks like, and we hung it on the wall above the shrine.

We have pretty stones that we find and set on the shrine, and a couple of small pots with fresh soil in them. We never buy the soil, we just find a spot with good soil and we sift through it, removing any debris and trash that we find.

In these small pots we plant things. We often plan Lavender, but we also plant Oregano, a flower at times, anything at all. We plant them so that Sayari’s other grand children, the children of Vejna, can be with her. So that we can be together.

It also helps to set the symbolism up in our minds, especially for our children. The more energy we put into our little Sayari shrine, the more it feels like the spirit of our Great Mother is with us in our home and our family.

 

For those who haven’t heard of the Klana Way or of our Great Mother Sayari, it would be enough to know that Mother Sayari is called many names, some of which are: Mother Nature and Gaia.
