Prayer to Brigid

 
Brigid,
You are a woman of peace.
You bring harmony where there is conflict.
You bring light to the darkness.
You bring hope to the downcast.
May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled and anxious,
And may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and in our world.
Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all Goddess has made.
Brigid, you are a voice for the wounded and the weary.
Strengthen what is weak within us,
Calm us into a quietness that heals and listens.
May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.
 
Adapted from a Prayer to St. Brighid
Solas Bhríde Community, Kildare, 1997

News: Niuheliang Goddess Temple Relics



"One of the more notable monuments at Niuheliang is the Goddess Temple, so named by archaeologists who discovered a clay female head sculpture with eyes inlaid with jade. . . In ancient times Earth goddesses were regarded as symbols of fertility, vitality, and the continuity of an ethnic group. This grand-size Goddess Temple and goddess figures found inside prove that goddess worship had a leading role in prehistoric Chinese religion.”

Vasudhara Mandala


Holy lady, source of all blessings and well-being,
Queen of riches and glory, Vasudhara,
Bestower of all desired good fortune,
I bow to you, noble lady, wish-fulfilling mandala. 
Font of cloudlike heaps of possessions and all desirable objects,
Sporting on a water-crystal mandala,
Resting on the corolla of a many-hued lotus,
I render homage to you, holy Vasudhara. 
Beautiful as a golden mountain,
Adorned by two hands - wisdom and skillfulness,
Bestower of endless treasure to living beings,
I worship you, sublime Vasudhara.
 
Traditional prayer.
 
 
(Vasudhara Mandala, Nepal, 1365)
