We do extensive research on every commission to find historical information on worship and practices on each deity and take into consideration every commissioner’s personal associations as well. For us at The Trickster’s Apothecary, we understand how important personal connection is to one’s worship and that is the main focus of our shop as queer pagans who have had to hide all parts of our identity at one point or another. There is no greater honor for us than to utilize our combined skills in order to help forge these personal connections, as we understand how everyone can see a different aspect of their chosen deity that most speaks to them. We understand that the deities closest to your heart, or the specific face of them you cherish most, might be the hardest to find–especially for deities with less historical information available. We want to be able to assist in whatever way possible to create a path that brings you your authentic spiritual joy. Prayer CardsThe cost of a prayer card commission depends on whether we have materials with relevant imagery on hand and whether or not we work closely with the deity ourselves. If we do not work with the deity personally, we do take the time to research and meditate to find the correct words and imagery; these prayer cards will always qualify as Premium Prayer Card Commissions due to the additional time. Please feel free to message us if you have any questions regarding deities we work with. Our prayer cards are made with either sturdy card stock or handmade Lokta paper containing cornflowers.

When placing your order, please provide any relevant details in the personalization field. This can include a specific epithet of the deity you'd like to be invoked, imagery or symbols you would like included, an aspect of the deity you work most closely with, etc. We want your prayer card to speak to your personal practice and relationship with the deity in question as much as possible; to do so, we ask that you include this information in your order so we may begin work on your piece as soon as possible. Processing time for these custom works is 4-8 weeks; delays in receiving your preferences can result in longer processing times. Please note that it may not be possible to include every symbol, image, or detail listed in your preferences, however we will work with you to ensure that your piece speaks to the parts of the deity most important to you.

Depicted above are our standard prayer cards available in our shop; they are representative of the type of card you will receive. Please know that your custom prayer card will never be listed in our shop, as it will be made to reflect your unique practice and relationship with that deity. In the future, you may see a prayer card available honoring that deity or specific epithet with the same or a similar depiction on the front side, but with a completely rewritten prayer on the back. Please rest assured knowing that your unique prayer will never be offered in our shop; it will be handcrafted to suit you and you alone.
