Publisher's Synopsis
This book brings together blessings, praises and prayer drawn from the full spectrum of the Celtic world. The Celtic peoples share a common tradition of blessing with their Indo-European cousins, the Hindus. Each action, thought or intention is made holy by blessing. Blessing is a consecration, an inclusion of the mundane within the sacred that offers grace and protection, allowing whatever is blessed to realize fully its innate potential, drawn from ancient, medieval and turn of the century sources, reflecting the ongoing Celtic concern with hallowing daily life.;The extracts in this book are grouped into sections such as the home and family, the seasons, daily life, the soul's journey, the natural world, the circle of safety and the indwelling spirit and provides a medley of blessings for all occasions. By the co-author of "The Elements of the Celtic Tradition" and "The Celtic Shaman".
