Blessed Brigid

As I mentioned in my last post, I have issues with doing what needs to be done in regards to my path and my chosen Deities. I made a lovely little find tonight while reading a book I had literally forgotten that I had. I came across a few invocations and prayers to Brigid. Color me excited.
I thought that it would be fun to post them here so that other people who come across this little blog can use them as well.

Invocation to Brigid
Most blessed Brigid,
Bright Arrow,
Arousing, swirling, teaching
Direct my words and 
Focus my art
To resonate your will
Beneath the sky, beneath the sea.
Goddess of the sun and of the eternal fire,
You inspire.

Most sacred Brigid,
Sudden flame,
Shaping melding purifying,
Forge my hands and 
Guide my heart
To do your bidding
Beneath the sky, beneath the sea.
Goddess of the sun and of the eternal fire,
You transform.

Most honored Brigid,
Living light,
Calming, soothing, restoring,
Mend my wounds and
Allow your love
To shine through me
Beneath the sky, beneath the sea.
Goddess of the sun and of the eternal fire,
You heal.

Most blessed Brigid,
Living light,
Bright Arrow,
Sudden flame,
Goddess of the sun and of the eternal flame,
Arise like a shining sun!

Brigid, goddess immortal,
Most blessed,
I light this candle
In fiery offering to you!

I think that while the above invocation is fantastic, there is always the need for a closing praying as well. That is where this comes in.

I thank you, Brigid, for your presence here in my life,
for giving me warmth of heart and hearth.
As the sisters of old, I have honored you
In the traditional way.
May my love for you  be felt through time and space,
Across the universe, upon the earth, and under the sea.
Although the light of this candle goes out,
I carry your flame in my breast.

Most blessed Brigid,
Living light,
Bright Arrow,
Sudden blaze,
Goddess of the sun and of the eternal flame,
I guard your flame.
Blessed Be.

I've decided that these are the prayers that I will use for the time being. My next cill shift starts on October 12th and ends at dusk on the 13th.

Daily Devotions in Blog form?

I got the idea of starting a blog to document my path, as well as my knitting and crocheting, from Ravelry.com. I don't have much to document at the moment but I figure tomorrow will be a good day to start. It's late now and it's been a long day.
Blessed Be!
