CANDLE BLESSING
Blessings be upon thee,
O creature of light!
Thrice blessed little herb!
Herb o' grease, with thy waxen stem
and thy blossom of flame!
Thou art more potent against spells and terrors
and the invisible menace than fennel or dittany or rue.
Hail! antidote to the dealy nightshade!
Blossoming in the darkness,
thy virtues are hearts ease and quiet sleep.
Sick people bless thee,
and women in travail,
and people with haunted minds,
and all children.
CHALICE BLESSING
HP: Be it known that a man is not greater than a woman
HPS: Nor is woman greater than man
HP: For what one lacks
HPS: The other can provide
HP: As the athame is to the male
HPS: So is the cup to the female
HP/S: And when conjoined, they become one in truth. For there
is no greater magick in all the world than that of love.

Fire Blessing
I will kindle this fire under the eyes of the Tuatha De Danann under the
eyes of Brigit daughter of the Dagda, under the eyes of Aedh the bright
one. Without fear, jealousy or malice of any kind to anyone under the sun,
but with the light of the Goddess to protect me.
Goddess of the sun, kindle within me a fire of generosity and love to all:
To my friends, my kindred, my foes and kindle within me a fire of bravery,
eloquence and generosity of truth, strength and wealth, of beauty, charm and
grace, so that I may inspire with my words. May this fire be blessed in the eyes
of the Ancient but ever-present Gods.
