My Personal Prayer to Bia

O Divine Bia, the Essence of All, who arose from the depths of nothingness, I come before you with a humble heart and grateful spirit. You, who vanquished the suffocating Mist and brought forth the genesis of existence, I honor your sacred balance that governs the very fabric of creation. In your boundless wisdom, you conceived the first gods, paving the path toward harmony. O Bia, embodiment of all that is, I beseech you to guide my spirit in achieving balance amidst the chaos of life. As the puppeteer of creation and the weaver of destinies, let your presence fill my heart so that I may reflect your harmony in my thoughts, actions, and deeds. May the essence of your being envelop me, drawing me closer to the unity of all creation. With reverence, I lay before you my humble offerings of fragrant incense and flickering candles, symbols of my devotion and the light of existence you embody. May these gifts rise in fragrant plumes to your ethereal presence, illuminating the sacred connection between us and fostering the balance that you cherish. I offer a dedication to every form, every life, and every breath that resonates within your grand design.

O Infinite Bia, grant me the insight to appreciate the delicate dance of nature and the balance of the cosmos. Enlighten my mind to the interconnectedness of all beings, that I may respect and honor every thread woven within the tapestry of life. As Bia is both creator and sustainer, may I find inspiration in your essence to craft beauty and nurture love in this world. In the spirit of your boundless creation, I celebrate the myriad forms of existence that flourish under your guidance. Let my spirit rejoice in the colors of the dawn, the whispers of the wind, and the rustle of leaves upon the earth. As I recognize the divine spark present in all things, may I endeavor to contribute to the harmony of life that flows from your eternal source. O Bia, sacred unification of chaos and order, may you bestow upon me the tranquility and strength to navigate the currents of existence. Let the flame of your wisdom ignite within me, bringing clarity to my path and serenity to my soul. In surrendering to your essence, I commit myself to live in harmony with the balance you embody and honor the gifts that life bestows upon us. So shall it be, as the cycles of creation continue under your omnipresent gaze, the Eternal Balance of Bia.

The Bowynn Gods: Bia

(This listing starts with the 7 great divinities of Creation. The Creatrix that was at the beginning. After the 7, all other gods will be listed in alphabetical order.)

Bia  (By-ah)  - In the great Bowynn tale of Creation, Bia emerged from the reign of nothingness. Bia was not so much a deity as much as being a personification of creation. Bia represents creation, the force and balance of all things. Without Bia there is only chaos. It was the emergence of Bia that put an end to emptiness, the chaos and vanquished the never ending “Mist”. From Bia was born the first gods. Bia is the very element of 'Balance.'

     From Bia the first gods of creation were born: Paut, Tya, Ohenn, Brea, Unthar, Sumon, Phoenix, , and musch leter Daeth and Tora, Saul and Shayla, Maeanna and the three sisters, the Ano Taya.

     Bia is the most sacred of all of the divine in the Bowynn tradition. Even the gods themselves including Anhur, bow down and give honor to Bia. In the Bowynn tradition, Bia can take the shape and/or voice of anything it please, thereby Bia was able to set down laws and judgments, and still does. There are some who solely devoted to Bia and Bia’s powers. They spend their lives in constant pursuit of attaining the goals that Bia set. Others just give Bia the most respect and live their lives in balance.

    Bia has no true form as the other immortals. Bia takes the form of all and none. Therefore, Bia takes no one side. Bia is neither male nor female, mostly depicted just as a hand, as it places the stars and plants in the universal space. Bia is the perfect balance. Being that Bia is everything and is all about, all things are sacred to Bia. So many different types of offerings are sent but the most popular is simply incense or lit candle.

      (Equivalent would be Khaos, Ptah, the Abrahamic "God" and other divine beings of creation.)
