To each day there was a healing plant
To cure the woes of a sick planet
One for each day
So that everyday
There was still a chance to heal and forgive
To stop your tears, to grow from grief,
You have done enough
You have been strong enough
Kind and wise enough
Today there is healing.
Airmid – is the Celtic goddess of healing and she is the
keeper of a spring that can bring a person back to life. In Irish mythology,
she is one of the Tuatha Dé Danann (the main deities of
pre-Christian Ireland).
“When Airmid’s herbs and Micah’s tricks Can’t heal the pain and relieve the sick,
May I and Flidais comfort you
With whisps of pink and streams of blue. While Brighid’s touch and loving caress
Gathers and holds who loved you best, To the West, across the sea,
Let Manannán mac Lir carry thee To Tech Duinn where Donn still dwells
An isle of stone among the swells
To rest yourself and mend your soul
After this life has exacted its toll. And when it’s time to move again,
For Tír na nÓg to let you in,
Eat the fruit and draw your breath
And never again know pain in death.”
I got prayer breads for Manannan mac Lir and holy crap they’re gorgeous! The picture doesn’t do them justice. It came with a beautiful prayer I look forward to learning. Thanks to Hearthfire Handworks on Etsy for sharing their craftsmanship and talents with the community!
See, I know people might be surprised by this, but I kind of love this idea. I don’t know if it was the creators intention but having basically rosary beads for Irish deities is something that fits very neatly in the way I think.
When it becomes impossible to accurately separate your pre-Christian traditions from your Christian ones, stop trying.
