Help with writing Cleric prayers

[Minigiant]

I really want to roleplay the ways of a Cleric of pharasma properly so want to have a list of a few prayers I can rattle off at opportune moments like a prayer to guide lost souls after combat, a shelter us tonight prayer, a PLEASE DEAR GOD I NEED THIS HEAL TO BE BIG / Need this strike to hit prayer. And just some every day expressions she might use.

Can anyone help? I suck at poetry and am not religiously versed enough to draw inspiration from actual religions.

I don't know that in the RPG line of Paizo works they've ever really explored this.

But you might look into the Pathfinder novels, I'm sure there would probably be some inspiration there.

[VoodistMonk]

Use the various titles as inspiration for different prayers.

For the lost souls after a battle prayer, address her as Mother of Souls...

For the shelter us tonight prayer, the Lady of Mysteries...

For the big heals prayer, address her as The Survivor...

For the big hit prayer, address The Lady of Graves or The Spiral of Fate...

Example:

As I look back at the battlefield, I wonder how I survived, and sadly think about all those who didn't... under my breath I say,

Mother of Souls please guide them from this battlefield to your boneyard, so none shall be left to wander...

[Set]

I like VoodistMonk's suggestion of using her titles like Lady of Graves, rather than her name directly in any sort of invocations during castings or channelings.

The nature of the spell or use of the channel could determine the prayer.

Channel energy to harm undead - "Oh Lady of Graves, I beseech your judgment on these who have strayed from the spiral path."

Channel energy to heal the living - "Oh Mother of Souls, I seek your aid to help these walkers to continue their journey to your inevitable judgment."

[Mark Hoover 330]

In many versions of Christian ceremonies, some of the saints, the martyrs or even the mother of Christ herself are named as part of the blessing/service. Pharasma is served by the Psychopomps; she has a few legendary servants called out in her wiki entry. You might also invoke them in general or by name specifically as part of your prayers.

Yet another way to go is to take inspiration from your Domains. If you worship Pharasma under her aspects of Water and Healing and play a fairly pacifistic cleric, your Bless spell invocation might sound completely different from a more militant warrior-nun cleric with the Death and Knowledge.

Some suggestions for level 1 spells:

Aspect of the Nightingale: May the song of the Whipporwill find its way through your lips

Cause Fear: Know the judgement of the Lady of Graves and despair

Divine Favor: Oh holy Steward of the Skein, come to me and grant me the fortune of our Lady's favor in battle

Obscuring Mist: I call upon the Lady of Mysteries, let thy veil cloak mine own countenance
