A Blessing for Self Image

May you be grateful to your body
For the offences it forgives you.
May your body please you
May your mind accept its forms
And guide you among dangers and pleasures
May you love yourself as you are loved.

Elemental Blessing

May the East fling open your windows,
and fill your rooms with air;
May the South send you strong sunshine,
and give you the strength to dare;
May the West wash rivers into your heart,
and oceans into your soul;
May the North share the secrets and gifts of the earth,
to heal and make you whole.

The Celtic Blessing of the Nine Elements

May you go forth under the strength of heaven,
under the light of sun,
under the radiance of moon.
May you go forth with the splendor of fire,
with the speed of lightning,
with the swiftness of wind.
May you go forth supported by the depth of sea,
by the stability of earth,
by the firmness of rock.
May you be surrounded and encircled,
with the protection of the nine elements.

House Blessing

Bless this house
And all who live within her walls,
May you grow and prosper here,
Wise in the old ways.
May your spirits soar
And your bounty increase
May the larks of the sky
And the spirits of the deep
Enclose and protect you
From all evil
Bless this house.

A Parting Blessing

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your fields.
Until we meet again,
May the Goddess hold you
in the hollow of her hands.

A Blessing Over The Food And Drink

God of the harvest, Goddess of abundance
Bless these gifts as you bless us all
Help us to see and remember
The Divine in all that we share
