Mariners True: A short collection of nautical ceremony for the 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 reject the herd mentality and thus they seek out more elegant solutions 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.-H.T.
