Earth Day Blessings

So today’s blog post is in honor of EARTH DAY and for my love of Celtic blessings. I have recently discovered that the Celts may have walked The Camino long before it became a pilgrimage for Christians. Here is a little bit of trivia or history--the Milky Way (Via Lactea) was used by both the Celts and the later pilgrims traveling to Santiago de Compostela. (Compostela means Field of Stars—thus “pilgrims” of all sorts used the Milky Way to guide them to Santiago de Compostela).

Here are some Celtic Blessings for Earth Day! Enjoy! And enjoy the blessings of this world!

If God sends you down a stony path,

may God give you strong shoes.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,

May the clarity of light be yours,

May the fluency of the ocean be yours,

May the protections of the ancestors be yours.

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.
