Thanks to Becky of the Daughters of the Flame for this one.
From the SageWoman blog
(Brigid speaks:)
May you accept this
offering of my Sacred Fire.
May your heart and
hands burn with creative passion.
May you bring forth
poetry, music, and art!
May your head burn
with the fire of seership, marking you as shaman or bard.
May your hands be
healing hands, glowing with inner light.
May you allow
yourself to be transformed in the flames of my forge.
May you drink a
long, cold swallow of clear water from a sacred well.
May you slow down
long enough to notice the tender signs of spring: an unopened bud encased
in ice, a purple crocus peeking up through the snow.
May you pause in your
work to gaze with gratitude at the sight of swans flying over fallow fields.
May you tie a prayer
cloth to a holy thorn or ancient apple tree on Bride’s Eve.
May you rejoice in
the longer days, knowing that the fire of the sun is emerging from its winter
slumber.
I am Brigid, Radiant
Flame of Gold, Summoner of Spring.
And I am kindling a
flame in your heart.
