Epona's Day - December 18th
An ancient calendar, found in a northern Italian village, mentions December 18th as the feast day of the horse goddess Epona. Many modern people have revived the practice of honouring Epona on this day. This card features a poetic blessing for the protection of horses adapted from the Carmina Gadelica, a collection of old Scottish prayers and charms. Send to a friend, or use the card as an altar decoration.

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".
Peace of the three realms
A photo of a Scottish lochside on a lovely summers day, with a blessing of the three realms of land, water and sky. The back of the card contains instructions for a meditation on the peace of the three realms.

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.
