Imagine standing at the edge of the ocean, feeling the salty breeze on your face as you prepare to embark on a new journey. Baptism by the Sea is a symbolic ritual where sailors come together to cleanse their spirits and find solace in the vastness of the ocean. With the sound of crashing waves as a backdrop, this ceremony invites sailors to let go of their past experiences and embrace a fresh start.

2. Shell Blessing

Shells have always held special significance in the maritime world. The Shell Blessing ceremony involves the collection of unique seashells from your voyages and bringing them together in a ritual that honors their symbolism. Each shell represents a different aspect of a sailor's journey – strength, protection, and guidance. As each shell is blessed, the energy captured within is released, resonating with the sailors and infusing them with courage and resilience.

3. Sailor's Knot Tying

The art of knot tying is an essential skill for any sailor. This ceremony invites sailors to learn and practice the various knots that have been used for centuries. As each knot is tied, it symbolizes the coming together of a sailor's experiences, creating a strong bond within the community. It serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and collaboration at sea.

4. Sunset Salutation

There's nothing quite like the serenity of a breathtaking sunset at sea. The Sunset Salutation ceremony honors the end of a day's journey and the beginning of a new one. Sailors gather on deck, facing the horizon, as they offer gratitude for the day that has passed and seek blessings for their future adventures. The warm hues of the setting sun serve as a reminder of the beauty and resilience present within every sailor.

5. Sea Star Release

Sea stars, also known as starfish, are considered symbols of good luck and guidance for sailors. The Sea Star Release ceremony involves bringing sea stars on board and releasing them back into the ocean. This act is believed to bring protection and safe travels to all sailors who partake in the ceremony. As the sea stars glide through the water, sailors feel a deep connection to the sea and the forces that guide them.

No nautical ceremony is complete without a traditional sailor's toast. This ritual brings sailors together to raise their glasses in celebration and honor of their shared experiences. From tales of legendary voyages to expressing gratitude for the sea's abundance, the sailor's toast is a time-honored tradition that strengthens the bond between sailors and their seafaring heritage.

Embracing the spirit of the sea is a profound experience for any sailor.

In this book you will find the pagan musings of a Sailor who has been adrift in the sea of religion for many years without nav guidance and with sightings on the big organizations that are not so favourable based on what appears to be a fair amount of internal contradiction in the guidelines for the treatment of fellow human beings.
Having been dissatisfied with these modern mainstream religions, and feeling very connected to the Earth and especially the Sea, this Sailor has embarked on a solo journey to create a better sense of connection to what he feels is most dear.
The oceans of the world.
Borrowing heavily from Greek mythology, a few well known but untraceable ceremonies found on the interwebs, and the Royal Navy, you will find here his solution to life at sea, and making a special connection with that realm that so few are privileged to travel through.
Mariners are a funny lot. Steeped in tradition. A language unto their own.
As such they are just a little more likely than the average landlubber to seek out a more elegant solution to the problems and mysteries of life.

This book is the Mariners guide to a better connection with our chosen Gods who tend to the watery world in which we live.

Chose to believe… To join us in the celebration of the watery world as a Mariner True
or
Merely use this book to name or rename your vessel in the grand tradition of all Mariners for hundreds of years.
(But if you want to sneak in prayer before passage, or give thanks to the fish that gave its life for your dinner... you can do that too)

Either way...

I hope you find it useful in whatever capacity you require.
