A collection of traditional pagan invocations Paganism is a belief system that dates back centuries and encompasses various rituals, customs, and invocations. These invocations are a way for pagans to communicate with their deities and seek their blessings and guidance. They are often recited during sacred ceremonies and rituals, where the pagan community gathers to honor their gods and goddesses. **Main idea: Traditional pagan invocations are an integral part of the pagan belief system and are used to connect with deities and seek their blessings and guidance.** Each invocation is unique and specific to a particular deity. For example, an invocation to the Celtic god of the sea, Manannan Mac Lir, may involve calling upon the powers of water and asking for his presence and protection during a voyage.
You’ll find another Mogma named Bronzi that is hanging from the ceiling here. Run ahead and you’ll find a wall of fire is blocking your path. Look elsewhere in the room and you’ll find a soft soil spot, so burrow underground.
Ghirahim will also shoot out diamonds in groups of five at you, changing the direction they come in, so be quick to adjust and deflect these diamonds. The easiest way to activate this cube is to perform the Skyward Strike while standing on one of the moving pieces of stone, but, if you d prefer the slightly safer option, you can, with a bit of practice, hit it from the side you enter the cave by.
For example, an invocation to the Celtic god of the sea, Manannan Mac Lir, may involve calling upon the powers of water and asking for his presence and protection during a voyage. On the other hand, an invocation to the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, may focus on invoking love and desire in oneself or in a relationship. **Main idea: Invocations vary depending on the deity being invoked and the purpose for which they are being recited.
Skyward Sword Walkthorugh – Fire Sanctuary
Run straight ahead and you’ll see a strange green plant hovering over the lava. Hit it with the clawshots or beetle and this will cause a water bulb to drop into the lava, creating a platform in the process. Quickly jump onto the platform and jump to the other side before it sinks underneath the lava.
There are some bokoblin archers in the distance to the right, so you might want to get rid of them now to save you some trouble in the future. Hit the nearby plant to drop another water bulb and create a platform. Since the lava below is moving this time around, you can jump on this platform and ride it eastward.
Defeat the bokoblin archers along the way and at the end of the path, jump off the platform. Climb the steps and follow along this pathway. Defeat the blue bokoblin here to open the nearby gate. Open the treasure to get a small key and then jump down to the ground below. A new Mogma by the name of Guld will appear and give you a piece of his mind. After he is done talking, use the small key on the locked door and head to the next room.
Save at the bird statue if you’d like and then run down the staircase. Defeat the Dark Keese here before they can touch you. Much like the Cursed Spume, if one of these Dark Keese touch you, you will not be able to use your sword for a period of time. Continue down the stairs, defeat the two bokoblin, and head through the nearby door.
Run down the corridor to the left and you’ll reach a treasure chest containing a red rupee. Head back and this time take the right turn. Run down the ramp and jump down to the cage below. A giant lava hand will appear from underground and this enemy is known as a Magmanos. Unfortunately we cannot defeat this enemy yet, so just stand on the nearby rock. When Magmanos comes up from underground, he will push the rock upwards as well. Safely jump over to the higher ledge.
Climb up the vines here and defeat the nearby bokoblin. Now climb sideways across another set of vines and make your way over to the ledge on the other side. Defeat the bokoblin archer and continue along the pathway. Drop down to the area below, save at the bird statue, and then continue through to the next room.
The door will shut behind you and you’ll take on somewhat of a dungeon mini-boss in the form of a Dark Lizalfos. Really, it’s nothing more than a faster Lizalfos that shoots a curse out of its mouth instead of fire. Defeat it the exact same away as a standard lizalfos. Run across this bridge and head through the door that opens up.
Right when you enter this room, use your arrows to defeat the bokoblin archers in the distance, as well as the cursed spume. If you look to the north end of this room, you’ll see that there is a small boulder that is blocking the flow of lava from the mouth of the statue. Turn to the west and you’ll see a small cavern at the top of the room. Within this cavern, there is a bomb flower waiting for you. This cavern goes through to the other side of the room. What you need to do is send the beetle through either side, grab the bomb, and carry it all the way to the boulder that is blocking the lava. Successfully doing so will blow up the boulder, causing lava to flow.
Now hit the nearby plant and a water bulb will create a platform in the lava. Since the lava is now moving, this platform will take you to the west end of the room. Jump off the platform and notice there are two doors here, but one is locked and we don’t have a key right now. Head through the other door found here instead.
You’ll see an imprisoned Mogma named Silva hanging from the chains above. We cannot do anything to free him just yet, so just head along on the right side of the room. Use the gust bellows to clear out all this magma ash that is on the ground and then head around the corner. Open the treasure chest here to get a small key. Return to the previous room and use the small key on the locked door we passed a moment ago.
Climb the steps but be careful not to run into these spiked plants. Make your way to the south end of this room and open the treasure chest to get a red rupee. Climb up either set of stairs to reach the higher floor and open the treasure chest on the west side of the room to get a random treasure.
Look to the north part of the room and you’ll see a frog statue with a wall of fire just below. Turn around, facing away from the frog statue. You’ll see one of those plants straight ahead. Thrust your sword at the water bulb and it will attach to your sword. Turn around and walk to the edge of the platform. Swing the sword to toss the water bulb at the frog statue, removing the wall of fire in the process.
Jump down and head through to the next room. Defeat the green bokoblin and the dark keese that are found in this area. Save at the bird statue if you’d like and then defeat the blue bokoblin found here. Continue ahead to the next room and the door will shut behind you.
Here you will take on the dungeon mini-boss, the Magmanos pair. Jump down and stand on the rock to the left. One of the Magmanos will appear and push you upward. Jump over and then thrust your sword at one of the nearby plants and attach it to your sword. Keeping the bulb on your sword, jump back down to where the Magmanos are. Walk around the steel cage on the ground and once one of the Magmanos come up, toss the water bulb at it, and it will turn into solid rock. Slash away with your sword and the Magmanos will crumble to pieces. Repeat this same method with the second Magmanos to defeat this mini-boss.
Once both of the Magmanos have been defeated, the lava will drain from this room and the nearby door will open. Silva will talk to you and asks for your help. Go through the door here and pull the lever to get the Mogma down. In thanks for helping him, Silva will give you the dungeon item, the Mogma Mitts. These will allow you to dig your way underground in some areas.

2. - Jane Smith - 2/5 stars - As someone who practices pagan rituals regularly, I was excited to read this collection of traditional invocations. However, I found the book to be underwhelming. The invocations felt outdated and cliché, and I could easily find similar ones with a quick online search. Additionally, the organization of the book was confusing, making it hard to find the specific invocations I was interested in. Overall, I was left feeling dissatisfied with this collection and would advise others to explore alternative resources for pagan invocations.
3. - Michael Johnson - 2/5 stars - The title of this book attracted me as I am interested in traditional pagan practices. Unfortunately, the content did not live up to my expectations. The invocations provided were very basic and lacked creativity. I was hoping to find unique and powerful invocations to enhance my rituals, but instead, I found the generic and mundane. The author seemed to simply compile already available invocations without adding any originality or depth to them. I wouldn't recommend this book to serious practitioners who are seeking meaningful and powerful invocations.
