Irish and Gnostic Prayers

Some of these are from books, others from various Internet sources.

Blessing
The blessing of Mary and the blessing of God,
The blessing of the sun and moon on their road,
Of the man in the east and the man in the west,
And my blessing with thee, and be thou blest.

Rune of Hospitality
I saw a stranger yestreen;
I put food in the eating place,
drink in the drinking place,
music in the listening place,
and in the name of the Triune
he blessed myself and my house,
my cattle and my dear ones, and the lark said in her song
often, often, often,
goes the Christ in the stranger's guise,
often, often, often,
goes the Christ in the stranger's guise.
 
 Prayer to Brigid
O Brigid, Mary of the Gael,
May thy protection never fail.
Spread thy mantle over me,
Where’re I pass, where’re I be.

Blessing Prayer of Brigid
May Brigid bless the house wherein you dwell
Bless every fireside, every wall and floor;
Bless every heart that beats beneath its roof;
And every tongue and mind for evermore;
Bless every hand that toils to bring joy
And every foot that walks its portals through.
This is my wish today, my constant prayer
May Brigid bless the house that shelters you.
 
From the Rosary of Mary Magdalene
What binds us is slain, what surrounds us is destroyed, all desire is gone, ignorance is dead.  We are free to remember eternity.  We shall rest in Silence for all ages and aeons.  Amen.
