May I arise today under the strength of heaven,
under the light of sun,
under the radiance of moon.
May I arise with splendor of fire,
with the speed of lightning,
with the swiftness of wind.
May I arise supported by the depth of sea,
by the stability of earth,
by the firmness of rock.
May the nine fold powers
surround and encircle me
above, below and about.
--traditional Irish blessing, from Celtic Memories by Caitlin Matthews and Olwyn Whelan (Barefoot Books)
