The eve of Candlemass

smokingbootTomorrow I will celebrate Imbolc, the day of the Bride and the Young Lord of Day. Tonight I celebrate Candlemass, the feast of Brigid, whom some call goddess, others saint. I am happy to celebrate her as both; this is one of the joys of random paganism!
I am about to write out a simple spell/prayer/blessing to her. This is addressed to Anyone Passing Through, cos tonight she wanders the roads and it seems appropriate. Many may find this somewhat mawkish so I'll use the cut.
May Brigid Triple Flame bless you.
As she is bard, may she bless the gifts of your mind, that you may be inspired in poetry and tale, in music and scholarship.
As she is blacksmith, may she bless the work of your craft, that it may dignify you and bring you prosperity and joy.
As she is healer, may she bless you, so that all wounds and ills you carry fall away from you, and you may be strong all your years in this world.
Finally, Oh Brigid, please bless those with neither home nor hearth fire on this cold night of Candlemass.
