A Prayer to Neptune
Neptuno, deo maris — To Neptune, the God of the sea
When departing from land and getting onto a boat or something similar:
Dii terrae marisque, et potentum tempestatum, nos aura leni ferunt et ventum prosperum sequendum afflant. — The gods of earth and sea, and of mighty storms, carry us with gentle breezes and urge us to follow a favorable wind.
When returning from said boat:
Gratias ago Neptuno patrono meo, qui in salso piscibus abundans mari habitat, quod me domum e sacra sede sua, bene onustum et hora bona, reduxit. — I thank my patron Neptune, who lives in the salty sea abounding in fish, for bringing me home from his sacred seat, well laden and at a good hour.
I'll have a post about how to create your own prayers for your deities soon! But for now, I leave you with two of mine!!
