Prayer for healing

  • Greetings:

    I wrote this a few months ago, and I keep it under my cauldron.

    Brighid the bountiful
    Brighid of the open hands,
    teach me to measure.
    Let me take only what I need.
    Let my need be truthful
    Let me reach for what heals and builds.
    Brighid, let me cherish my body
    as You cherish the earth.
  • That's really nice, CathrynB. You could use that as a daily mantra, maybe chant it each morning as you light a candle or something, to keep you connected to your faith as well as your diet.
  • Thank you!
    Yes; I suppose I'll get to doing that candle suggestion eventually. Candle magic is just incredibly effective for me.

    I try to do the following every morning: light my centerpiece candle which is usually green with the words, I light this candle in a prayer to honor the Goddess, for light, and for the healing of the earth. Then I say an invocation which I wrote:

    Oh Goddess Mother
    Creator, sustainer, changer
    You are the maker of the stars
    And their movement
    You are the beating of my heart
    The journey of my breath and blood
