How to call on Damara:
Celtic Goddess and Fairy Princess of the British Isles, Damara ruled over youth, innocence, and the imagination. Call on Damara when you’ve lost touch with your own inner child or need help with the children in your life. Damara is a playful goddess, yet is also fiercely protective of youth and your inner child. She wants you to play and enjoy life. Damara is the perfect Goddess to get to know in the Summer months, when children are out of school and the heat of the day encourages you to play outside, in Her realm.
Prayer to Damara:
Damara, Playful One
I Call to You on this Summer’s Night
Help me rekindle my inner Joy –
The spark within me that lights up
Like a child discovering a new toy.
Help me look upon the world with wonder
And appreciate all that I take for granted,
Most of all, myself.
Thank you, Damara!
Tribute to Damara:
Collect wildflowers and give them to a child. Know that when you see that child’s face light up, your own Inner Child is lighting up as well. This makes Damara very happy.

“Damara (pronounced “duh-MAR-uh”) is a Celtic Goddess of the British Isles, known to rule over youth, innocence, and the imagination. Damara is also recognized as Queen of the Fairies and the protector of the inner-child and children in general. She rules over maintaining their purity along with keeping their sense of wonder and faith toward the world around them.” [1]
“Garland Day, on May 13, is a holiday that is only celebrated in very few small English villages. It is related to the Damara, Goddess of fertility who was worshipped in Britain. She is associated with the month of May. Her name means ‘gentle’ and is considered sweet and a rather docile Goddess. She helps bring peace and harmony to families within quarrelsome households. She was also deemed the protectress of young children and entrusted with keeping their sense of wonder and faith toward the world around them.
It is no wonder that Garland Day is a day for the children of the village. It is a day that they usher in the arrival of Spring by weaving flowers, garlands, and depositing them around the village, sometimes leaving them on the doorsteps of strangers or hanging them from poles. By doing this, the villagers believe that they will receive the blessings of Damara and will be ensured a bountiful harvest the upcoming year.” [2]
“Damara’s message is one of guiding children. If you have your own children, spend some time with them, perhaps playing and enjoying their company. Take care of your own inner child too! Go on and have some fun today!
Re-connect with that sense of awe and discovery that you felt when you were a child and learning about the world and he universe. Believe in fairies, believe in angels, as they are all around.” [3]
