St Patrick's day 2012

I was thinking about Irish blessings today, and thinking about how many of them there are. And  how wonderful they really are.  Have you ever really taken the time to listen to one. 

It is no wonder that we are so awed by the Celtic people. Through all the strife that they have lived with and survived, they can still find the beauty and the grace to provide us with a little Magick. A little poetry to brighten our day, a little magick to guide our way. They truly were the original keepers of the flame.

Listen...

 

May the rains sweep gentle across your fields,
May the sun warm the land,
May every good seed you have planted bear fruit,
And late summer find you standing in fields of plenty. 

 

I was thinking...if I took a moment everyday to utter one blessing, what would happen? Well for sure there would be one moment when I was in a beautiful place, emotionally and spiritually. The possibilities... of what it could do for my day are endless. How amazing that I have never realized before how special each one is. They are Magick! Each and every one is like a charm/spell meant to bring good fortune.  How about...

 

May your Pockets be heavy
and your hearts be light
May Good luck pursue you
both day and night

 

I am intrigued and thinking that this idea may need to be more thoroughly explored. You are all welcome to join me and let me know how it worked for you.

Wishing you always...
Walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain
And tea beside the fire.
Laughter to cheer you,
Those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire

 

So whether you know one, or make one up; if you chance to read this please post, I would like to see how many I can find. And here is mine to you...

 

May the Universe bless you

and guide your way

May Love surround you every day

May the Elements guard you

by night and day

May you find strength to walk

your own path your own way
