Prayer to Brighid of the Sacred Center

Brighid of the Fire,
Who burns away sickness and imperfection,
Who shapes us as a smith shapes metal,
I praise you.
Carry my voice to the Heavens!
Brighid of the Well,
Who washes away disease and grime,
Who heals us with a gentle touch,
I praise you.
Carry my voice to the Underworld below!
Brighid of the Tree, of the mighty oak,
Who reminds us of our own innate strength,
Who connects us to the rest of Nature,
I praise you.
Carry my voice throughout the Middle Realm!
Brighid of the Sacred Center,
Connect me to the Three Realms!
