The familiar blessing is as follows:Take your beloved animal in your arms or into your circle and then say address the prayer to Brigid, the Lady of the Beasts: "Blessed Brigid, Lady of the Beasts and Guardian of all creatures, I ask that you enfold your loving arms of protection around my cherished friend (state friend’s name). Spirit of nature, guardian of wood and earth, give my beloved friend (state pet’s name) the blessings of strength, health, and long life."Then to your pet you say, “May I always know how to aid you when you are in need. May I always see to your comforts as well as I see to my own. And may I be as good a friend and companion to you as you are to me. In accordance with your free will.

In this episode we discuss the weird and wonderful world of the Wheel of Fortune, including as many wheel puns as possible -- wheely, wheely good ones!But seriously folks, this card is special. Full of arcane symbols, great wisdom about luck, acceptance, surrender, fate, destiny, and recognizing that to everything there is a season.Respect that the universe works according to its own laws of time and space. Show up in truth, authenticity and humility and you are golden.    *********************************NOTES FROM THE SHOW:Let it be known that it was Emily Dickinson (and not the disgusting abuser Woody Allen) that first said, "The heart wants what it wants," in a letter Mary Bowles (to whom she frequently wrote intense and passionate missives).The song "Turn! Turn! Turn!" was originally written by Pete Seeger, but our favorite version is the one we used in the show by the inimitable Nina Simone.
