Brigid's Eve Blessings

"O Brigid, Mary of the Gael,

May thy protection never fail.

Spread thy mantle over me,

Where’re I pass, where’re I be.

Weather foul or weather fair,

Keep me in your loving care."

(traditional)

Brigid's Eve

"The sacred Three,

to save,

to shield,

to surround

the hearth,

the house,

the household,

this eve,

this night,

oh! this eve,

this night,

and every night,

each single night."

Brigid's Eve

 

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.

Brigid's Blessings

"May Brigid bless the house wherein you dwell

Bless every fireside, every wall and floor;

Bless every heart that beats beneath its roof;

And every tongue and mind for evermore;

Bless every hand that toils to bring joy

And every foot that walks its portals through.

This is my wish today, my constant prayer

May Brigid bless the house that shelters you."
