BRIGID

'exalted one'

irish goddess of fire, smithing, poetry, and healing

Oh gentle Brighid of the golden hair, be like a shining flame before the path I walk on. Preserve me from stumbling and infuse me with love, so that I shine with Your light to aid others.
I am bending my head in prayer beneath the eye of the sun, beneath the grace of Brighid, in love and gratitude. Bring us to love where we are wrathful; bring us to beauty though we walk through ugliness. Through every shadow and every light, through every day and every night.
Oh Brighid, may Your light descend on me, may Your light shine out through me, from my crown to my soles. Oh Brighid, may Your light ascend through me, may Your light be new in me, from my soles to my crown.
