At 3.5" x 5.75" (8.9cm x 14.6cm) these cards are also great for tucking into greeting cards as an extra little gift for a special friend. The ideas on these cards are influenced by my own interest in Celtic folklore, mythology, literature and spirituality. The prayers and meditations are worded in such a way that most will be acceptable to people of many faiths - whether Pagan, Christian or "spiritual but not religious".

Two Celtic prayers based on Shamanic teachings
Cutting Cords
Cutting energetic cords is a part of many Shamanic
traditions. These cords are harmful attachments to people, places or situations. This prayer was given to me by a shaman who works in a Peruvian tradition, and I feel that it has helped my emotional and spiritual balance a lot. I chose to address the prayer to the Irish hero-god Lugh, who has strong associations with magical swords or spears.

Dreams of Peace
This prayer was given to me, in a somewhat different form, by a shaman
who works in a Peruvian tradition. At the time my sleep was being disturbed by troubling thoughts, and this prayer helped me a great deal to sleep more soundly and peacefully. I chose to address this prayer to three deities - Manannán mac Lir, Brigid and Epona.
