Mealtime BlessingsI found a blessing I love in the book, the creative family, by amanda blake soule. It seems like the perfect blessing to use before our Samhain feast this year.
Earth, we thank you for this food,
For rest and home and all things good,
For wind and rain and sun above,
But most of all for those we love.
___________________________________________________________
Here are others I have found:
For the golden corn and the honey from the bees
For golden sun and the apples on the trees
For fruits and nuts and berries we gather on our way
We thank our loving Mother Earth we thank her everyday
Blessings on our meal [today].
___________________________________________________________
Blessings on the blossom
Blessings on the fruit
Blessings on the leaf and stem
Blessings on the root
Blessings on our meal.
___________________________________________________________
Blessed Be our Hearth and Home,
and our Family, wherever we Roam
Blessed Be this Food, our Feast
May we always Dwell in Love and Peace
___________________________________________________________
Lord and Lady, watch over us,
and bless us as we eat.
Bless this food, this bounty of earth,
we thank you, so mote it be.

Bedtime Blessings (not sure where these came from)
May the Powers that be
Guard and guide me
As I travel and play
In the Dreamland.
May all who are dear to me
(insert names if you wish)
Dream in joy and safety.
___________________________________________________________
From all the dwells below the skies,
Let faith and hope with joy arise,
Let beauty, truth and good be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
___________________________________________________________
Lady of the Moon,
Lord of the Sun,
Protect me and mine
Now the day is done.
___________________________________________________________
Thank you Great Goddess for this day
For the blessings and lessons that came my way.
May my sleep be peaceful in dreams and rest,
And tomorrow may I do my best.
___________________________________________________________
As I lay snuggled in my bed
Pillow tucked beneath my head,
Maiden, bring me joyful dreams,
Mother, bring me peace serene,
Wisest Crone, watch over me
Until the light of dawn I see.
___________________________________________________________
Lady Mother, touch my head,
Keep Me snug and safe in bed.
Watch and hold me through the night
Until I rise with morning's light!

Birthday Song ~anonymous
found in a child's seasonal treasury
In heaven shines a golden star
an angel led me from a far.
From heaven high unto the earth
and brought me to my house of birth.
Oh welcome welcome lovely day
With sunshine bright and flowers gay.
With painted birds that sing their song
and make me kind and good and strong.
from Our Day Our Journey

Garden PrayerSmall plants, leaves and buds,
growing in the soil.
O fiery sun, may your rays of
light and warmth
bless us with abundance,
and allow these plants to blossom with life.
by Patti Wigington
Garden Blessing
The earth is cool and dark,
and far below, new life begins.
May the soil be blessed with fertility and abundance,
with rains of life-giving water,
with the heat of the sun,
with the energy of the raw earth.
May the soil be blessed
as the womb of the land becomes full and fruitful
to bring forth the garden anew.

Harvest Blessing Honored Lord and Lady of harvest season,
Bless me with your powers of reason,
That I may prepare ahead,
Plentiful stores for Winters dead,
Giving thanks to you in advance,
For life sustaining animals and plants.

Yule Blessings/Chants Yule Chant
Brightly burns the Yule log tonight
Magic dances in firelight
Hold my hand and join the song
Raise the Sun King bright and strong
Dark is giving way to light
As brightly burns the Yule log tonight!

On this night so long, My Lady

This Solstice Night and ever more.
